Team Workshops & Transition Programs

When organizations change, people experience it personally.

Restructuring. New roles. Shifting responsibilities. Internal mobility. A team coming together after significant change.

From an organizational perspective, these may be business decisions. For the people experiencing them, they can mean uncertainty, loss, opportunity, questions about identity, and a need to rethink what comes next.

I design tailored workshops, facilitation sessions and coaching programs that help people make sense of change, reconnect with their strengths, and find practical ways forward.

The work connects the organizational reality with the human experience of change.

Change may be organizational. The experience of it is personal.

I know this from both sides.

Earlier in my career, I worked in Talent & Leadership Development and was part of many reorganizations and restructurings.

At first, it was easy to see them as business decisions: organizational needs, new structures, roles, processes. Something that had to be done.

But that perspective changed when I started speaking with managers who had to let people go — and later when restructuring affected me and my colleagues directly.

That's when I understood how much human emotion can sit underneath something that, on paper, looks like a formal business process.

Uncertainty. Loss. Relief. Anger. Fear. Hope. Questions about identity and what comes next.

Today, I bring that understanding into my work with organizations.

I don't see the human side of change as something separate from the business context. It is part of it.

A program shaped around what's actually happening.

There isn't one workshop that fits every team or every transition. I start by understanding your context, what is changing, who is affected, and what you want to support. From there, we might design:

Team workshops

Interactive sessions that create space for reflection, conversation and practical work around a specific transition or team challenge.

Individual coaching

One-to-one support for people who need dedicated space to explore what the change means for them and what they want to do next.

Customized transition programs

A combination of workshops and individual coaching designed around your particular situation.

The format follows the need — not the other way around.

What we can work on

Navigating change

Creating space to understand what is changing, what it means, and what people can influence.

Strengths & professional identity

Helping people reconnect with their strengths, values, experience and ways of working — particularly when their role or environment is changing.

Career transition & internal mobility

Exploring transferable skills, possible directions and what could come next within or beyond the organization.

Professional positioning

Helping people translate their experience into a clear professional story — through CVs, LinkedIn profiles, interviews or internal opportunities.

Reconnecting as a team

Creating space for teams to reflect on what has changed, understand each other's perspectives and shape how they want to work together from here.

Sometimes a workshop is only part of the answer.

A group conversation can open something up.

Individual coaching can give each person the space to explore it more deeply.

That's why I often combine the two. For example:

1

Team workshop

A shared space to reflect, understand strengths and explore the transition.

2

Individual coaching

A confidential conversation to explore each person's situation, questions and possible next steps.

3

Practical next steps

Turning reflection into something people can actually use — whether that's an internal move, a new professional direction, or a clearer way of communicating their experience.

The goal is not simply to get people through a workshop.

It is to help them leave with greater clarity about what comes next.

What teams say afterward.

“It was fun and interactive, and at the same time we learned a lot about different working styles and how to improve our work. The day was very well structured and we got the chance to actually work on specific issues that exist in our team.”

— Manager, SEO Team, E-commerce

“Moderators did a very good job guiding us through the day. The structure was clear and the overall organisation was great. The whole day was nicely paced and the exercises were engaging and thought-provoking.”

— Senior Manager, SEA Team, E-commerce

“The topics we wanted to discuss were perfectly transformed into team tasks. I felt that the workshop was crafted specifically for our needs. It helped us see the existing issues from a different angle and start working on practical solutions.”

— Senior Manager, Marketing Team, E-commerce

“I had the opportunity to join a two-day workshop with my team focused on exploring our next career steps with Margarita. For me, the experience was truly eye-opening. She took the time to understand where our team — and I personally — stand, and tailored her guidance accordingly. I walked away with deeper self-awareness, a clearer understanding of how to position my profile, and practical insights on building an ATS-ready CV. It was exactly what I needed as I navigate my next career move.”

— Erika, Communication Manager, Pharma

“Margarita's workshop was one of the most practical career development sessions I've attended. She understands how recruiters, ATS and LinkedIn algorithms work, and turns that into clear, actionable advice. Her feedback helped me reframe my CV and LinkedIn profile around achievements and leadership rather than just responsibilities. I left with a much stronger personal brand and real confidence my profile will reach the right opportunities. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to strengthen their market positioning.”

— V.S., Head of Department, Pharma

Structured enough to move things forward. Spacious enough for people to think.

My workshops are interactive, but not performative.

I create enough structure for people to know where the conversation is going, while leaving enough space for reflection, honest conversation and perspectives that may not have been visible at the beginning.

People don't need to be pushed into a solution. They need the right questions, a thoughtful process and enough space to find their own way forward.

Someone who understands both sides of change.

Portrait of Margarita Dautova

I spent 10 years in Talent & Leadership Development at international organizations including Mytheresa and Amadeus, working with people and teams through development, career decisions, role changes and organizational change.

Today, I combine that organizational perspective with my work as an ICF PCC coach and facilitator.

This means I can hold both perspectives: what the organization is trying to achieve, and what the change may mean for the people experiencing it.

Questions

Do you offer standard workshops?

Some themes can be adapted from existing workshop formats, but I prefer to understand your situation first. The content, format and level of customization depend on what your team actually needs.

Can you combine workshops with individual coaching?

Yes. This can be particularly useful during restructuring, internal mobility or other significant transitions where people need both a shared team experience and confidential individual space.

Can you work with a team outside Germany?

Yes. Workshops can be delivered online, and I am also available for selected in-person engagements depending on location and format.

Do you only work with teams going through restructuring?

No. Organizational restructuring is one example. I also work with teams experiencing role changes, internal mobility, new team dynamics, professional development needs or other periods of significant change.

How do we know what kind of workshop we need?

You don't have to know before we speak. Tell me what is happening, what your people are experiencing and what you would like to support. We can explore together what kind of format might make sense.
