BEYOND TRADITION
The Next Step in Team Performance
Our Approach
StepBack Sessions
StepBack Sessions are efficient, value-driven discussions integrated into existing team routines. Utilizing EMI’s digital platform and framework, internal team members integrate StepBack Sessions directly into their routines and workflows, achieving sustainable and scalable impact.
How it works
from start to finish
We begin by training internal team members on how to facilitate StepBack Sessions using our content and digital platform. Facilitators then implement StepBacks weekly or bi-weekly into the team’s existing meeting cadence. Regular feedback loops and EMI support ensures ongoing success, assessing impact and identifying growth areas to keep sessions relevant.

“EMI has helped me recognize the lessons I was learning on the court, process them, and solidify them into my everyday practice off-court. The lessons that stood out to me included confidence, mindfulness, presence, self-gratitude, and self-awareness. As I transition out of collegiate sports, I am so grateful EMI has helped facilitate the learning of these lessons so I can use them in all my future endeavors.”

“Well-being was not something I thought I would struggle with in college, however it became a crucial part of my development as a person and a player at Gonzaga. Throughout my college experience, I was lucky enough to know Travis. First and foremost, he cared about me as a person which gave me the comfort to explore my inner person. He provided me with the tools to become a better player, competitor, and person which allowed my process to be much easier through the obstacles I faced as a Division 1 student-athlete.”

Tyranny of the Urgent: When everything feels urgent, the truly important can get lost. How can we, both as individuals and teams, protect space for what matters most?
You ask, we answer
- Schedule a Consultation: Contact EMI to discuss your organization’s needs and goals.
- Identify a Facilitator: Select an internal team member(s) for facilitator training.
- Confirm the Start Date: Begin implementing StepBack Sessions with tailored support from EMI.
The facilitator’s role includes actively participating in the conversation. While they guide the discussion, the goal is to create a space where everyone connects and communicates productively.
We recommend integrating StepBack Sessions into existing team meetings or practices on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis to ensure consistency.
If you plan to involve multiple facilitators, we encourage each of them to complete our training to learn the StepBack framework.
