Facilitated Group Meetings

Work through real challenges in monthly meetings with teams across your company. A facilitator provides resources that create an environment conducive to vulnerability, healthy conflict, and accountability. This creates opportunities for communication and innovation across teams that don't typically interact.

Horizontal Mentorship

Connect with a fellow team member for regular mentorship meetings. Horizontal mentorship occurs when two people are open to learning from each other regardless of their age or title. This is a proven method for achieving optimal results from mentorship. Ambition In Motion provides custom agendas to ensure the content of the mentor meetings aligns with the company's desired outcomes for the program.

Lunch & Learns

Learn from guest speakers each month on topics relevant to leadership. Guest speakers are typically best-selling authors or TED Talks speakers and all topics provide a unique lens on how leaders can improve their performance.

Impact Analysis

Measure the impact of mentorship via assessments before and after the program. Metrics include engagement, communication across departments, and perception of respect at work.

BOOK A DEMO

Team Horner Group acquired Aquacal, Lo-Chlor, and Stone Hardscapes over the years, but I didn't have much interaction between the organizational units and primarily stuck with my people at Team Horner. The (Ambition In Motion) mentor program has helped me learn sales tactics from sales professionals at Aquacal and Lo-Chlor and I have now gone from an Account Executive at Team Horner to the Territory Sales Manager for Lo-Chlor. I don't know if I would have learned this knowledge or gotten these opportunities if it weren't for the mentor program.

Why do companies need mentorship as part of their people-integration strategy?

Newly integrated teams face insecurity and communication barriers. Horizontal Mentorship helps companies avoid turnover, quiet quitting, and diminished morale.

An effective mentor program creates opportunities for communication, innovation, and collaboration.

Common People Integration Challenges

Lack of plan clarity: When teams join forces, an uncommunicated strategy decreases productivity and increases turnover.

Disrupted processes: Previously formed teams with distinctive processes are apprehensive about adopting change.

Decreased efficiency: Learning curves from adapting to a new team extend project timelines and outcomes.

Role redundancy: Effectively allocating shared resources means some team members have to take on new roles.

Lack of trust: Newly combined teams struggle to delegate tasks and build trust.

Reduced vision of organizational goals: Department leaders favor their team's goals over the organization's goals.

We are on pace to acquire a new company every year and the operational challenges of integrating others' systems into our own systems is difficult. Having the (Ambition In Motion) mentor program to help us identify emerging leaders, connect them across different organizational units, and build a dialogue with each other has helped us remove a lot of the human friction that naturally occurs when change is happening.
