Resolving conflict between team members just got an upgrade. We call it leapfrogging.

Most leadership teams—from big corporations to small businesses—end up accumulating baggage. Despite getting along well, the company’s most influential people can find themselves stuck in a loop. Meetings veer into tangents, projects stall, and the same disagreements are rehashed repeatedly.

When leadership is unable to disrupt this cycle and instead remains stuck in their old patterns, conflict goes unresolved. Which means those sacred cows remain untouchable and moving forward to tackle bigger challenges for the business can feel impossible.

Imagine if your leadership team could disrupt the old patterns and learn the tools and techniques they need to leapfrog into the future.

leapfrogging (v.): the ability for every member of a team or group to progress beyond or move ahead of an obstacle (physical, mental, or emotional) in a quick, advanced way so they may trust and communicate more deeply

Experience both conflict resolution and powerful team building at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland.

RTC’s CEO and founder, Corey Blake, was introduced to the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland in 2014 when he and his wife committed to the 18-month Gestalt Training Program. The program impacted Corey so deeply, he invited other CEOs and thought leaders that he knew to accompany him at the Institute, as well as his own team at RTC.

Corey recognized the gestalt process to be remarkable in its ability to release people from their limiting stories, deepen the trust between them, accelerate their bonds, and to celebrate what is most magical about themselves as a brilliant and beautiful human being.

From there, the flame ignited into a fire. Other companies and their leadership teams that worked closely with Corey traveled to retreat centers to experience this magic with Corey and gestalt facilitators. Together, they would clear decades’ old baggage, learn to listen to one another differently, and practice speaking their truths in a supportive environment.

This incredible gestalt experience—a version of the story described above—will help you and your team break through the muck and mire that has built up over time between you and will guide you to a more authentic, awe-inspired, and expressive way of working together.

Why partner with RTC for your team conflict resolution?

Gestalt is a miraculous model. But it is Corey’s superpower of seeing other human beings as brilliant and beautiful and special that takes your gestalt workshop beyond conflict resolution and actually turns it into a profound team-building experience.

When you invite Corey to step into the room with you, he will bring

  • practical optimism for every outcome,

  • a commitment to remaining present,

  • nonjudgment for each team member, and

  • a belief in the heroic capability of your people and organization.


Corey is like an amplifier for gestalt facilitators, helping to pinpoint their accuracy. But he is also a participant with your leadership team in that he is always willing to go first to model the work if it will help others wade into the water. By supporting both your team and the facilitators, Corey’s main goal is to ensure that everyone receives more than they believed possible from the time together.

Before your gestalt experience, you will want to build a relationship with Corey and provide him an honest look into your organization, how your leadership team works together, and how your company expresses and lives its purpose and values. This relationship will help maximize your gestalt experience for greatest impact on your team and company culture.

“The Gestalt Experience with Corey and those he gathered together was both mind-expanding and soul-deepening—an experience unlike anything I have ever had (and I have had a lot!).”

The ultimate benefit of conflict resolution for teams is learning to trust one another with our truth.

The real reason leaders become stuck in their companies is that as more is on the line, speaking truth becomes more complicated. But it is sharing our most vulnerable thoughts and opinions that will propel us into the future if we can free them.

During the workshop, Corey and the facilitators will support your team in talking more transparently about the bigger issues that are getting in the way of growing your business. The environment helps participants to explore how they work with one another, and to reveal more of the anxieties, resentments, and fears they’ve kept hidden from their colleagues (and often from themselves).

When your leadership team can conquer new ways of trusting and relating with one another, that behavior dismantles team conflicts and creates resolution to move forward, setting the example for everyone else throughout the company.

Develop and grow as a team so your company can, too.

The people within your leadership team are agents of transformation for your company. Your organization is dynamic; so must be the presence of your leaders. As instruments of change, they need to journey through their own transformation—resolving their conflict between team members with grace and honesty—in order to lead the rest of your company. After all, we can only lead others to where we ourselves have gone.

It’s time for you to leapfrog your leadership team’s personal and professional development. The question is, are you courageous enough to take the leap?
