we build healthy workplace teams.
Many leaders feel overwhelmed by hidden team dynamics they weren't trained to handle. Scripted Group helps leaders surface and address these dynamics so they can lead with confidence and foster a healthier team culture.
A toxic team culture can cost you…
Communication Breakdowns
High Turnover Rates
Broken Trust
Low Employee Morale
Lack of Innovation
Missed Team Potential
Unfulfilled Growth Opportunities
Rampant Gossip
Apathetic Teammates
It doesn’t have to be that way!
We might be a fit for your organization if…
-
It's not what you want to hear from your team after you roll out a PD day. We know that firsthand. Every Scripted Group Strategist has been the leader of an organization after a bland and time-wasting professional development day or session. We were participants in a recent training and counted over 100 slides in a single-day training. We don't have to guess how much was retained. Zero.
-
"Didn't we do a training on diversity last year?" Once again, this is not the response you want to hear from a carefully planned (and budgeted) day of training. "Didn't we..." means they aren't sure and it didn't sink in. "...do a training" means it was one-way and lacked interactive methods. "Last year..." makes it clear that your workplace training is a seasonal activity rather than part of your learning and growing culture.
-
Far too often, retreats and trainings are conducted by specialists in the subject matter rather than specialists in how to train and engage. With tens of thousands of hours in learning, clinical, and consulting sessions, the Scripted Group Strategists are highly trained specialists in communicating information, engaging participants in the learning, and providing experiences that anchor the new insights and training. You'll find economists that know more about financial structures than the Scripted Group. You can easily Google search for the emerging Project-Based-Learning specialists. You won't find a group of strategists that present, teach, and engage large and small groups better than the Scripted Group.
-
In most training, what you order is what you get. This is simply not true with the Scripted Group. In every engagement, we prioritize workplace culture, psychological safety, and job satisfaction for participants. The subject of the training may be teacher+parent dynamics, but the bonus takeaway is a faculty that is heard, valued, and included. We boldly declare that playing at work is good for everyone. When the Scripted Group leads your organizational retreat or training, the participants come away energized and more connected to one another.
When workplace tension hinders performance, it can feel overwhelming - but we’re here to help. Your team deserves to break free from unhealthy dynamics and build a culture of psychological safety.
Through immersive role-playing, expert facilitation, and humorous blind script readings, we’ll help you create a safe space for authentic conversations and meaningful change. In other words, we provide workplace training and professional development that feels more like a revival than a required meeting. It’s time to invest in your greatest asset - your team.
