This episode of the Coaching Culture podcast, hosted by JP Nerbun, Nate Sanderson, and Betsy Butterrick, delves into a profound distinction: team being vs. team building. Inspired by their recent transformative TOC retreat, the hosts argue that true team connection and growth emerge not from elaborate team-building activities, but from intentionally created time and space for individuals to simply be together.

The common misconception is that "team building" requires specific, often activity-focused events like paintball or bowling. However, the hosts emphasize that it's less about what people do together and more about the simple act of being together, allowing time to slow down, fostering deep listening, and creating an environment where individuals feel truly seen.
