Answers:
Is Rising Team for hybrid, remote or in-person teams?
All of the above! Rising Team sessions work whether everyone is in an office, everyone is remote, or some of each. What you need to make the session work is for everyone to have a device (laptop, phone, or tablet) and internet access.
Can anyone be the Facilitator?
Yes! Any team member can facilitate a session. You can assign a Facilitator before the session starts on the kit landing page or ask someone to take over in real time by selecting their name from the dropdown menu. Once a new facilitator is assigned, a banner announcing the change will display and the new facilitator can seamlessly step in to lead the session.
Having different team members facilitate sessions is a great way to build leadership skills, foster collaboration, and encourage diverse perspectives. Each kit provides built-in structure and prompts, making it easy for anyone to step in with confidence—whether they’re new to facilitation or experienced in leading discussions.
What does my team see on their screens during the session?
Team members see the same pages as the team lead sees throughout the session, so they can follow along and actively participate, including completing the assessments or activities. The team lead screens will contain facilitator tips and the ability to start or pause the countdown timer. Facilitators will often share their screen during the session, and it’s ok that your team will also see these facilitator tips on your screen, as sometimes they can offer helpful reminders if you miss something!
What if someone joins a session late?
They’ll start from the beginning of the session and will need to work through the different pages and exercises to catch up.
What data from the sessions will I be able to keep?
All of the results from the exercises the team completes in the Rising Team sessions will be available to you and the team on your Team tab as long as you are subscribed to Rising Team. Each person can see both the individual results of each teammate and the overview of the team as a whole. These detailed assessments of your team will help you more deeply understand each other and work better together, since you’ll know everything from preferred communication methods to top talents, to the resilience strategies people want to try.
Besides the exercise results, are the other aspects from the sessions saved?
Each kit will have a step for team members to share their reflections and action items, as well as fill out a required post-session feedback survey. After your session is completed, we'll email you a link to a report that contains those responses, as well as each person's results from the session's activity or assessment. These responses are included at an anonymous level in the Reports tab, which is shared with your company admin, if applicable.
Can I edit my responses to a past session?
Yes. If you'd like to change your responses to one of our exercises, visit the Team tab and select your name from the drop-down menu. Choose the kit and you'll see an Update button that allows you to retake the exercise.
