True North Compass:

A 30-minute check-in to realign success with what truly counts.

Redefine success from the inside out. This session helps your team recalibrate what matters,
name obstacles, and align direction for the journey ahead.

Success isn’t just about outcomes—it’s about alignment. When teams define success on their own terms, they build clarity, cohesion, and commitment. This session resets what matters and sets direction.

Why Choose This Tool?

The True North Compass offers an efficient and engaging way to foster open dialogue and gather valuable insights on what truly drives your team.  Ideal for team offsites, quarterly check-ins, or annual planning cycles, this tool can be utilized in approximately 30-45 minutes.  It provides a structured yet flexible approach to:   
  1. Uncover Authentic Motivators: Helps teams move beyond superficial metrics to understand what genuine success feels like.    
  2. Dismantle Outdated Definitions: Challenges and releases old patterns or misconceptions about success that may be hindering progress.    
  3. Build Shared Understanding: Aligns team members around a collective and inspiring definition of success.    
  4. Foster Commitment: Encourages individuals to take ownership and champion the team's newly defined True North.    

How to Use This Tool?

The True North Compass, along with the comprehensive Facilitator's Guide, ensures maximum engagement and impactful outcomes. The toolkit provides:
  1. Step-by-Step Instructions: Clear guidance on how to effectively run each phase of the exercise, from initial reflection to establishing champions.      
  2. Principles Behind the Practice: Insight into the core concepts that make the True North Compass a powerful tool for team alignment and evolution.
  3. Helpful Facilitator Tips: Practical advice and probing questions to deepen discussions, navigate potential challenges like dominating voices or metric-focused thinking, and fully leverage the insights gained during the session and beyond.    
At the end of the exercise, your team will have identified its unique "True North" headline and appointed a Champion to help maintain focus.  Each member will also make a personal commitment to support this shared direction.    

Leverage the True North Compass to efficiently generate clarity, foster commitment, and guide your team toward a more aligned and productive future. Even small, intentional adjustments based on your True North can yield significant positive impacts over time
