Customized Classes For Teams

 

Team Building Workshop 

Every team blends a diversity of individual strengths and weaknesses. Cohesive, effective teams unite unique talents and personalities while minimizing conflict rooted in differences.

 

This teambuilding workshop and its exercises are customized to address each client’s specific needs and desires. Through managerial input--and team input if desired—differences are explored in a non-judgmental way and critical team challenges are addressed with specific solutions. Susan’s instruction and group exercises highlight the strengths that different personalities bring to your team and shows the value of  those differences to achieving your overall mission.

 

The format of this team-focused training is highly interactive. Unlike some group training, practical exercises are performed by participants at the beginning of each segment, before topic discussion begins. Active participation in these exercises is fun, enlightening and strengthens healthy bonds within the team. This format has proven equally effective with teams of long standing as well as those that are just forming.

Managing Individuals

A management style that motivates one employee to excel at his job may actually motivate another to quit as quickly as possible!

 

As a manager, it is vitally important to build a team that works--with strengths and styles that differ from your own.

 

Using Myers-Briggs and a variety of communication techniques, Susan teaches managers (individually or as a management team) to identify the unique personality types of employees and how to best communicate, motivate and manage each type.
