Teaming - Collaborating            

Collaborating Successfully -- As Human Beings our greatest capacity is our ability to become highly successful teams when we truly need to.  In today's workplace we need to learn to develop what is instinctive to us and capitalize on those skills and abilities in the typical working day when needed and not take only them for granted.

NEW!

WE KEEP MISSING THE HOOP!

Stop Being Just a Group and Become a Successful T*E*A*M

People gather. They cluster. They form groups intentionally or by plan. When they grow into a T*E*A*M is when they become focused and successful. Too often we act like groups instead of working like TEAMS. This session will help you better understand the differences between being a choatic unsuccessful group and how to become a dynamic and successful TEAM.

HERDING CATS©

Turning a Group into a T-E-A-M Effectively Today

Many jokes have been told about how TEAMING AMERICANS is like HERDING CATS. In many ways that is often the case.  Seldom throughout our school years are we taught how to be team members or how to lead teams.  Perhaps if we play sports we learn some things.  Yet seldom the learnings are purely accidental side results and not direct lessons.  Then in our workplaces we expected to become strongly effective, caring, devoted, team members.

Not Invented Here

Not In Our Department

That's Not My Job

Are almost paradigms in the minds and hearts of too many people and organizations.

We all can learn to become Strongly Successful Team members.

We all can learn how to better lead Successful Teams

Evidence continually shows that diverse groups of people can work effectively in team-like manner when chaos or tragedies happen.  Hurricanes, terrorist attacks, earthquakes, forest fires all provide examples how most people can step forward and work in spontaneous teams.  Yet most of them in their every day lives rarely work in teams.

This session is planned to help even the most team resistant people accept and begin to appreciate the value of learning to become more team like and become members of teams.
