Cultural transformation

Culture is the foundation of what you aim to achieve with your organization

Our behavior, both conscious and unconscious, shapes our culture. Gaining control over this is the challenge; becoming aware of it is the solution.

Our pragmatic approach provides a clear framework for the cultural transformation you envision:

  • (Personal) Leadership: Establishing a shared leadership foundation for key individuals.
  • Focus through Identity: Clearly defining and communicating where the organization stands and what it stands for, enabling swift decision-making and constructive discussions toward common goals.
  • Core Values in Practice: Creating the desired culture by identifying core values and translating them into tangible behaviors.
  • Culture Launch: Engaging the organization in the decisions made and the rationale behind them, fostering commitment by collaboratively defining desired work agreements.
Team Collaboration

Everyone wants to collaborate, but in practice, it’s often challenging. Feelings of frustration and helplessness are tangible and even accepted, simply because people don’t know how to approach it differently. Instead of actively developing this skill, we learn through trial and error.

Helping people look at themselves without judgment and showing them that they can immediately have a positive impact on the challenges they face is liberating for teams.

Our team training programs are tailored to your specific needs but always provide:

  • Disarming Insights: Team members gain fresh perspectives on what’s truly happening within the team, seeing things in ways they hadn’t considered before.
  • Open Communication: Team members learn to prevent potential conflicts by simply engaging in honest conversations.
  • Taking Responsibility: Team members discover, both individually and collectively, their role in initiating and sustaining progress.

Leadership

Leadership That Works

You want your team to thrive, to raise the bar. But perhaps you’ve noticed that work pressure is taking over, and the inspiring side of leadership has faded into the background. At How Company, we help you and your team demonstrate effective leadership – leadership that fits you.

Leadership in Simplicity: No complex theories, just a clear, pragmatic approach you can immediately apply. Personal growth is central, enabling all leaders in your team or organization to lead with confidence and self-assurance.

Our approach helps you to…

  • Provide direction and clarity: Leaders become even more aware of their roles and responsibilities. They create a clear course for their team and manage mutual expectations.
  • Foster the desired mindset: Through constructive guidance and leading by example, leaders learn to inspire their team to view challenges differently and take action. The glass is half full.
  • Address conflict and challenges at their source: Effectively handle everyday issues and negativity within the team, ensuring that team members focus their energy on what truly matters.

After a Significant Event

Reset. Rethink. Refocus. Restart.

A major event, sudden significant change, or crisis can deeply disrupt your team. In such moments, it’s essential not to simply "carry on" but to face the situation head-on and build a new foundation from there.

Together with your team, we create a solid basis for the future. Not through lengthy processes, but through impactful interventions for employees and their leaders that deliver immediate and sustainable results.

  • Reset: Reflect on what has happened and what is currently unfolding. Gain insight into the unconscious limitations individuals impose on themselves.
  • Rethink: Determine together what truly matters, what is needed, and how to achieve it.
  • Refocus: Set shared goals and translate them into an actionable plan to maintain (or regain) effectiveness.
  • Restart: Take action and be prepared to tackle future challenges effectively and sustainably.

Communication

Sometimes It Feels Like You’re Talking to a Stranger

Misunderstandings are always lurking, leading to frustration and a loss of time and energy. Almost always, the issue isn’t what is being said, but how it’s being said.

Understanding and being understood are skills that, fortunately, can be learned. Mastering them is a significant step toward creating a team that truly wants to collaborate.

Our unique and disarming method for teaching Communication Styles makes the material immediately applicable – both professionally and personally.

  • Engage in dialogue with people who communicate differently: Learn to approach "difficult conversations" with greater focus and ease.
  • Be effective and solution-oriented: Prevent misunderstandings by communicating in a people-centered way, both internally and externally.
  • Truly see the individual: Develop the ability to see the person behind the content, fostering quicker understanding and stronger engagement.

Team coaching

Restoring Stability and Focus in Your Team

Examine the dynamics within your team and align everyone toward a shared direction. Through team coaching, stalemates are broken, the "elephant in the room" is acknowledged, and the team channels its energy into constructive matters. The focus shifts to the future, relationships are strengthened, and collaboration is optimized.

  • Seeing Each Other Differently: Team members get to know the people behind the opinions. Motivations and intentions are expressed and put into perspective.
  • Clarity and Direction: Agreements are made, and commitment is secured, minimizing future misunderstandings.
  • Working with Responsibility: A culture is created where team members encourage one another to take individual and collective responsibility, learning from both mistakes and successes.

Team development

Elevating a Group to the Next Level

Building a team is more than simply gathering people together. A solid foundation and strong interpersonal connections create a cohesive team that takes collective responsibility for its objectives. No two teams are the same. Each requires a unique approach, but combining a healthy dose of professionalism with a human-centered approach makes all the difference.

  • Deepening Communication: Team members learn to see, understand, and connect with one another as people, not just colleagues.
  • Focus on Collaboration: Team members gain awareness of their shared purpose, the goals that follow, and how to achieve them together.
  • The Right Mindset: Creating an environment where team members tackle challenges collectively, take responsibility for results, and generate their own positive energy in the process.

Teambuilding

Teambuilding That Works

You want your team to not just function well but to grow into a high-performance team. A day of teambuilding with clay pigeon shooting and BBQs may be fun, but it rarely leads to lasting change. A different approach does – and we’re here to help.

Our unique methodology ensures your team connects on a deeper level and is genuinely motivated to collaborate. This allows you to bring out the best in your team and establish a strong foundation for long-term success.

  • Truly Getting to Know Each Other: Through stimulating interactions, team members discover what drives them and what they value. Expressing this helps them collaborate better and support one another.
  • Finding Shared Solutions: Team members identify where they are blocking each other and learn how to address this collectively, driving sustainable change.
  • Creating a Plan: Team members translate their individual motivations and needs into actionable steps for daily team practice.

Organizational change

Move Faster with Less Effort

The ability to quickly adapt to internal or external changes is more crucial than ever for organizations striving to stay or become vital. This requires leadership and participation.

Real organizational change begins with engaging and inspiring employees, ensuring they truly adopt new ways of working. Strategic decisions (the what) must be translated into practical, actionable steps (the how), with people at the heart of it all. We’re here to help.

  • Motivation, Leading by Example, and Visibility: Leadership makes the difference; what you invest is what you’ll gain.
  • Clarity and Direction: Clear, constructive communication about decisions made and expectations for both the short and long term.
  • Beyond the Beaten Path: Enabling employees to tackle modern challenges and grow beyond their own comfort zones – and that of the organization.
  • Change Through Engagement: Building a shared culture that forms the foundation for achieving organizational goals.
