Resilience Training for HITT Contracting
Case Study
Dorsey supported dozens of teams with in-person trainings to improve their performance and well-being with resilience and emotional intelligence sessions. One of these clients was a data center project in San Antonio, TX, where we facilitated high-impact trainings with 30 team members.
The team responded extremely well to on-site wellness & teambuilding sessions as an opportunity to truly take a break, reset, connect with one another, and return to work focused and energized. They benefitted from tangible takeaways like new EQ tools and community agreements for on-site relationships.
