Assessment
SAGA’s Collaboration Profile Tool
While each of us may gravitate to a specific style, successful groups stories are constructed through balance of all styles. Using the IP3, we will help individuals recognize the essential roles within a collaborative group that to invites PEOPLE to participate and feel included, provides an environment to ensure all IDEAS are heard, implements an effective and organized PROCESS, and creates a final PRODUCT of the highest quality.
Success lies in how individuals, with their complex SAGAs, come together as a team to achieve goals and maintain a healthy community. We believe with quality individual leadership and coaching, every organization can construct a powerful narrative.
Assessing individual and team qualities will enhance performance; our assessment tools allow group members to examine individual leadership styles and team collaboration potential.
Civic Engagement & Service Learning
Organization Development
Fresh & Different Approach According to Forbes Magazine “some of the best opportunities for volunteer work that benefit your karma and your career may come from your company.” Innovative organizations understand the benefits of team development that pay off at work and provide valuable services to the community..
The SAGA of your organization extends into a larger community context; Civic Engagement projects combine organization values and goals in a commitment to improve our communities. We will work with you to identify a community service project that relates to the goals of your organization. Using innovative curriculum design, we will engage your group in a process to provide meaningful service while they get to know each other – a benefit for your organization and the community. Depending on your needs and outcomes we can provide a variety of approaches to learning and service. Just like our custom retreats, we will customize the civic engagement project to your group.
Public Speaking
Interactive Keynotes, A Bold Approach
We believe that even 500 people can interact during a keynote speech in such a way that the storyteller creates a lasting impact on the participants. We engage our audiences with more than a run of the mill speech, but rather a story that they actually take part in.
Drawing on their rich experiences in higher education, outdoor adventure, the Idaho legislature, women’s leadership organizations, and teaching, Mat and Melissa provide keynote speeches and public addresses for your organization on a variety of topics: social change leadership, relational leadership, emotional intelligence, effective communication, personality in the workplace, women’s leadership, innovation and creativity, collaboration, organizational development, social justice, and community engagement.
Retreats & Seminars
Work and Play
The best thing for a group may be to get “off site” where the daily distractions of work won’t get in the way of making meaningful connections that will benefit everyone back on the job. Retreats allow time to learn, connect, network and develop leadership skills that ultimately help the organization.
SAGA specializes in designing custom built retreats, workshops, trainings, and seminars that utilize innovative educational techniques to meet the desired outcomes of our clients.

SAGA constructs ½ day, full day, and multi-day retreats. Depending upon the needs of your organization, we can organize everything from curriculum design to logistics such as locations, food and lodging. We will meet with you to assess the needs of your organization so we can build a custom the experience from the fine details of unique “give-aways” with your logo to the working outcomes of the retreat.
We believe that what you achieve in a retreat or workshop should carry on beyond the day’s activity. We value collaboration and will offer coaching after the event to ensure your organization stays on track with what you hoped to accomplish.
We have implemented dynamic retreats for government agencies, military service, corporations, and colleges and universities.
