About us

Rising Team helps companies increase employee engagement and scale talent development with tools that equip managers to lead engaging team development sessions (remote or in person). Each Rising Team Kit covers one leadership topic and includes training for the leader and a fun, interactive experience for the team. Our software takes care of everything—learning goals, warmups, activities, data summaries, and even countdown timers—at a fraction of the cost of bringing in outside facilitators. Kit themes include all the topics that drive high-performing team, from psychological safety, to cultivating appreciation, to clarifying expectations and more. Over 90% of managers and team members who do Rising Team sessions say they feel more connected, learn something valuable, and will work more effectively together as a team. We've also been able to drive a lift in over a dozen core engagement scores, including a 7%+ increase in "intent to stay" at the company in just 3 months. The company was founded in 2020 and raised a $3 million dollar seed round in 2021 led by Female Founders Fund, with participation from Peterson Ventures, Burst Capital, 500 Startups, Xoogler Ventures, Roble Ventures, Supernode Ventures, and several angel investors.

    Want to know how Taylor Swift and Hawaiian pizza can help us fight incivility? Join me for one of my sessions at #SHRM24 next week. Incivility is on the rise in our workplaces. And it’s undermining the productivity and morale of our teams. Many leaders are at a loss for how to respond to acts of incivility on their teams. Recent SHRM research indicates that only 25% of U.S. workers feel their managers effectively address examples of incivility in the workplace. So, how can we equip our leaders to better cultivate a culture of civility and inclusion? In partnership with SHRM, I’ll be tackling that question in six interactive workshops at their annual conference, SHRM24 in Chicago, next Monday and Tuesday, June 24 and 25. What we’ll cover in the workshop: 👉 Learn how to conduct trust-building discussions that promote a safe, inclusive work environment and foster open dialogue 👉 Participate in a 30-minute interactive activity designed to develop and practice skills for having civil conversations (this is where Taylor Swift comes in...) 👉 Get access to a free Rising Team Civil Conversations Kit that equips leaders to facilitate impactful discussions with their teams. Don’t miss this chance to learn how to nurture a culture of civility and inclusivity on your team. (See the workshop link in the comments for full details). If you can’t make it to the conference, see the link in the comments with more information on SHRM’s Civility program and access the free Civil Conversations Kit. Let’s ignite positive change by joining SHRM’s mission to spark 1 million civil conversations for a better workplace 🙌 Tell me in the comments if you’re coming to SHRM24. I’d love to meet you there!👇 #CivilityAtWork #teamdevelopment #leadership #SHRM24

Rising Team is helping leaders become more effective by combining deep human connection with intuitive AI capabilities that support every leader and team inside an organization.” “The role of team development tools in today’s workplace is crucial for maintaining culture and profitability” said Nasir C.
