STRATEGIC
TUNING
FOR TEAMS
Set the foundation for effective collective decision-making
Special Offer for Startup Teams in 2026
You’ve got a big moment coming up.
The vision is clear, the goals are set, but even great strategies can get tripped up by what’s under the surface: how your team handles tension, how decisions get made, how power is shared, and all the unspoken patterns that shape how you work together.
That’s where we come in.
Before your next big strategic push, we’ll create a focused, supportive space for your team to see those patterns clearly and to experiment with new ways of working together.
In 2026, we’re inviting three teams to try a Tuning Session ahead of their next strategic meeting - offered at cost - to see how much smoother things can run when the team itself is in tune.
Teams stall when hidden dynamics take over.
Tuning allows your team to surface and process these dynamics so your team can move forward together.
What you get
At-cost Tuning Session for your team to be delivered before a strategic moment or event for your team.
Design session to help Heartwood understand your needs, and to build the Tuning Session specifically for your team and your team's opportunities
1-day, in-person facilitated tuning session with the Heartwood team
Post-session debrief to capture and integrate learnings
