We
Value

Nothing is more important to us than the humans behind the work and kindness is always our North Star here at ET.

Kindness

We work to ensure that our beliefs, thoughts, feelings and actions are all in alignment so that we can show up resourced and at our best to support you.

Integrity

We don’t get down with shallow team building or development that ‘checks the box’. Here at ET, we want to connect you and your team to something greater, so that you can make meaningful impact with your customers and the world.

Meaningful Transformation

We recognize that time is (y)our most valuable resource. This doesn’t mean that we work to become masters of time or attempt to cram more into less. But rather, we make total use of every moment together, fully immersing your team in the present, amplifying each person’s ability to show up now & in the future.

Traditional team building & development doesn’t go deep enough. ET offers an edge in team refinement because its depth is transformational—offering a blend of holistic approaches, and connecting the dots back to your essential team’s success.

from our founder

Marie Groover

“There are some brilliant methodologies out there for building and refining corporate teams, boosting engagement, and upleveling performance. There are also emerging holistic approaches that can be proven effective. However, what has been missing is the connection and integration between these practices. Bringing yoga or breathwork to the office is not the full picture, but neither is a personality test or pre-defined team dynamics scoring system. Essential Teams breeds a progressive and integrative approach that connects the dots and produces meaningful results, without taking too much of your team’s time. If you’re even a bit curious to learn more, reach out. We are here and excited to support you in making your team or organization essential, not just to your company, but to the world, too.”
