GROUP
INTEGRATION
Supporting the formation of an encouraging and collaborative group culture that improves the quality of the individual and collective experience.
​
This includes, but is not limited to, creating an environment that produces psychological safety, emotional resilience, and increased self-confidence. There are both tangible and intangible benefits to focusing on group dynamics and having a partner whose role is reserved for that function. The value of the integrator is hard to measure and often is only recognized when the role is reduced or eliminated.
