Strengthen existing or newly formed teams through improved communication, performance, and accountability set against defined and measured results.

Years of working with groups have taught me that well-designed and executed dialogue can help teams enhance their ability to be as effective as possible.

I often hear that teams are too busy “DOING business” to have time to work “ON the business”. My team coaching program focuses on inter-group issues that often go unaddressed, using tools to drive team productivity and individual effectiveness that are efficient from both a time and expense perspective.

My team coaching and development tools are below – here’s a quick highlight:

Stakeholder Centered Team Coaching

Who It’s For:

Existing teams struggling with communication, performance, or accountability;

Newly formed teams charged with significant and challenging deliverables

What It Is:

Based upon the Marshall Goldsmith stakeholder centered coaching model;

Dual focus on team performance and the contributions of each individual team member;

Improves communication, shapes individual and team behavior, and creates better dialogue among all teammates;

Results are clearly defined and measured;

Usually 6 months duration

Do More / Do Less Team Experience

Who It’s For:

Existing teams seeking improved levels of collaboration and communication

What It Is:

Team members complete a short summary on each team member, addressing what they should do more of, do less of and what should stay the same;

Each team member creates a contract regarding one or two behaviors that will facilitate improved team performance;

This can be accomplished in 4 short segments totaling 7 to 8 hours over four months

Developing or Re-establishing a Vision

Who It’s For:

Existing teams seeking to re-energize or refocus themselves;

Creates a contrast between where we are and where we want to be;
