Build a Team That Trusts One Another, Communicates Clearly, and Gets Results

Even great people can struggle to work well together.
Silos form. Meetings drag on. Conflict gets avoided.
And what used to be a high-performing team starts to feel disconnected and tired.

That’s where the 5 Behaviors of a Cohesive Team workshop come in.

Built on Patrick Lencioni’s powerful framework from The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, this hands-on experience helps your group rebuild trust, engage in healthy conflict, and rediscover what it means to win together.

Working with Desiree has been such a gift for our team. From the very first session, it was clear that Desiree brings not only deep expertise in team dynamics, communication, and trust-building, but also genuine care and empathy for the people she works with.

I was part of Desiree’s group coaching program and it’s been incredible for my growth as a leader. She’s straightforward, engaging, and creates real conversations that help me apply what I’m learning. I look forward to every session, and her podcast has become one of my favorite tools for continued development.
