What We Cover

We support teams and leaders across team effectiveness, frontline and manager development, leadership, culture change, and sales and customer engagement.

Team Development and Effectiveness

For intact teams, leadership groups, and cross-functional teams. Behavioral self-awareness, team dynamics work, and applied development on the specific work the team is trying to do together.

Manager and Frontline Development

Tailored programs for first-time managers and frontline leaders making the shift out of individual contribution. Built around behavioral self-awareness, feedback skills, and leading people for the first time.

Leadership development

Structured programs for emerging leaders, frontline managers, mid-career managers, and senior executives. Cohort-based or individual, built around the Team8 DISC behavioral foundation and layered with the EI-360 and Team8 Leadership 360 as the program matures.

Change and Culture Work

Behavioral and emotional intelligence applied to organizational change. How each style responds to change, how to design communication that lands across the full range of styles, and how to build culture that holds through the pressure of transformation.

Sales and Customer Engagement

Behavioral insight applied to sales and customer-facing work, adapting to different buying styles, building rapport faster, and designing customer interactions that work across the full range of behavioral types.

What our clients say

Hear from Others' Experience

“Our graduate cohort completed a half-day DISC Workshop with Bo Hanson. Having the opportunity to receive their personal reports prior to the workshop worked well in setting them up for the content that was covered. Bo did a great job of keeping them engaged and involved in the learning experience. The grads were really interested in how they work with others, and how they can now use this information to work with a variety of people across our organisation. A great topic at any time, but particularly for them as they start their career.”

“Apart from enjoying an activity we had not done before, we all gained considerable information about ourselves from our experience with Team8 that we are continuing to building on in both our personal and work lives. Our whole team grew with the experience with some staff gaining unseen confidence, others are more aware of how their behaviour affects others. Our team is now closer than ever and we are all excited by what the Team8 experience offered us. I would recommend this process to anyone serious about ensuring their business is ahead of its competition.”

“As part of our commitment to developing the Future Leaders within our business, O’Brien used the Team8 DISC 360 profiling in our recent development program. We used this version of DISC as it is completely online and provided a very comprehensive report for each participant. The participants on the program gained a lot of value from the 360 capability of the Team8 DISC and learnt about how others view them in their various leadership roles. Our Human Resources Team also completed the profiles, using them to learn more about how we work and perform together as a team. I would recommend these DISC profiles to any organisation who wants to develop their people through greater self-awareness.”

“Our team had a fantastic experience during the workshop. The activities, including the DISC Lineup Exercise, were engaging and insightful. With some activities repeated from the 2023 session, the team appreciated the opportunity to revisit these concepts, especially since new members had joined since our first workshop… The workshop also helped us address challenges unique to our remote work setup. By drafting actionable items to enhance team engagement, we’ve been able to carry the momentum forward and implement meaningful changes. Overall, the workshop exceeded our expectations, and the team is still benefiting from the insights and strategies we gained. Thank you for such a transformative experience!“

Quick FAQs
About Corporate Professional Development Programs

Can you deliver inside our existing leadership program?

Yes – many of our engagements layer Team8 People assessments and applied work into an existing program rather than replacing it. We've designed engagements that integrate cleanly with internal leadership academies, consulting partners' frameworks, and university executive education.

Do we have to use all three assessments?

No – many programs start with the Team8 DISC alone and add the EI-360 and the Team8 Leadership 360 as the program matures and the participants are ready for more. We'll talk through the right starting point for your program during your discovery call.

Can the program be delivered for a single executive rather than a cohort?

Yes – individual leader development typically combines the Team8 DISC, the EI-360, and the Team8 Leadership 360 with coaching from a Team8 People accredited practitioner – most often as part of an executive coaching engagement.
