Rising Team helps leaders and their teams grow together by equipping managers to easily host meaningful team development experiences around key leadership themes. Each Rising Team Kit covers one topic and includes training for the leader and a fun, interactive experience for the team. Ideal for remote or hybrid teams, our software does the work of a professional facilitator. So just hit Start and follow the prompts, and by the end of each session your team will feel more connected, learn key skills, and increase team effectiveness.
More than 90% of our users say they learn something valuable, feel more connected, and believe they’ll work more effectively together as a team after the very first session! And they say that these benefits grow with each session. So you can see results right away, and see increased value by consistently running Rising Team sessions.
In fact, using Rising Team addresses the issues that a recent McKinsey study* highlighted as the most important drivers of the Great Resignation—helping people feel valued, giving people a sense of belonging, and building trust and care among teammates.
The question is, how quickly can you schedule your first session?
*The Great Attrition or the Great Attraction; The Choice is Yours - Sept. 2021
Each Rising Team Kit involves about an hour of prep time for the leader and 1.5-2 hours for the team session. Your prep time is leadership training for you to learn the latest science around the theme, and the team time is what helps the team grow and connect.
Team sessions average 90 minutes in length, and we recommend setting aside 2 hours if your team is larger or more talkative. (The more people you have on your team the more sharing and discussion will be involved.)
We recommend running a Rising Team session every 4-6 weeks for healthy team dynamics. It’s the consistency of investing in your own leadership development and your team that leads to higher success and deeper connection over time.
We hear from some people that they are too busy to fit in time for these sessions. We know everyone has a lot going on! That’s why we made these sessions so compact. Just a couple hours every 4-6 weeks focused on the development of your team will return huge dividends in their engagement and both individual and team success. At a time when nearly half of all people are thinking about leaving their jobs in the next 3-6 months*, can you afford not to invest this time in them?

Each Kit covers a new leadership theme based on what research shows drives team success and engagement, such as Psychological Safety, Appreciation, and Clear Expectations.
The Kits all follow the same steps:
The Rising Team content is based on the latest science and research about what drives successful teams, blended with over 25 years of experience leading winning teams at some of the world’s top companies. Our content is developed by our founder, Jennifer Dulski, as well as other leadership experts, like LinkedIn Learning expert, Christine DiDonato, and others. On some topics, like DEI, we also partner with specific content area experts to develop the Kits.
The general Rising Team philosophy of “The Three Cs” (Coach, Clarify, Connect) was developed over the last two decades by Jennifer Dulski, and you can learn more about it in our “Three-Step Guide to Leading Successful Remote Teams.” It outlines how the best managers are like great sports coaches— they understand and develop each team member, articulate a clear vision and plan to get results, and build the team into a cohesive unit.

Absolutely. In all types of work settings, over 90% of those who participate in a single Rising Team session report feeling a stronger connection with their colleagues. The majority of our customers see a significant boost in engagement scores compared to their metrics before rolling-out Rising Team and against control groups that do not participate in Rising Team sessions.
Teams dedicate just 3 to 4 hours quarterly doing Rising Team sessions, a modest investment under 1% of their time, resulting in significant boosts in connection and engagement.
We typically recommend the following cadence for each 90-day quarter:
No, Rising Team works great for in-person and hybrid teams, too.
There is no minimum. Even 2 people can do sessions together. Our current maximum recommended team size is 14. We also offer kits for large team meetings up to 1,000.
Not at all! Our sessions have a 9 out of 10 “likely to recommend” score across all kinds of teams. Read more about what participants say about our sessions. Managers and teams appreciate the fact that our sessions use scientifically-proven leadership frameworks and tools from experts such as Amy Edmondson, Timothy R. Clark, Adam Grant, and many others.
Our sessions are designed to get participants talking, so this won’t be a problem! Sessions start with light warm-ups to help participants get comfortable. Then they move on to more in-depth activities and team discussions that follow. During group share-outs, the tool automatically prompts participants so that everyone gets a turn without having to raise their hand.
Rising Team is beneficial for leaders and teams at every level, from the C–Suite to first-time managers. While many customers often first try Rising Team with senior executives, it’s designed to help leaders gain a deeper understanding of their teams, which is essential at all levels of an organization. Regardless of level, teams value the insights the gather and team bonding that occurs.
Our training is designed to be efficient. Upon program kick-off, we conduct a 60-minute live training session to familiarize team leaders with how to use the platform. Then, for Development Kits, leaders allocate approximately 20 minutes before the session to familiarize themselves with the subject matter and session facilitation.
Our sessions address all the drivers of high performing teams and the key factors measured in employee engagement surveys, like Psychological Safety, Resilience, Career Growth, Conscious Listening, Clear Expectations, Appreciation, Motivators, Gratitude, Feedback, and dozens more. View the full list of kits here.
Rather than rely on a single model or framework, we build our sessions around the most common drivers of high-performing teams as measured by organizations like Gallup, McKinsey, and Harvard Business Review. We incorporate the latest research from leadership experts including Amy Edmondson, Timothy R. Clark, Adam Grant, and many others, as well as learning from 25+ years of leadership experience of our founder, Jennifer Dulski, who teaches leadership at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
