Think Like A Team - Half Day Program

Your group will experience an interactive learning game to gain valuable insights into their own thinking and decision-making styles. They will then take on a series of challenges that will help them improve their communication, brainstorming and problem-solving skills.  3-4 hours

Team Tune-Up- Full Day Program

Sometimes teams need to get away from the office for a while and take a good look at how they operate, where they’ve been and where they’re going. Through a series of team assessments and interviews, a custom agenda is created to help your team identify key areas to develop and then roll up their sleeves and make it happen.   5-8 hours

4-Step Team Development Course

This comprehensive program takes your team through a series of exercises and discussions that build a foundation for long-term success. At the end of the course, your team leaves with a detailed team charter and a commitment to do what it takes to be successful.

This program is ideal for teams that need to improve performance, are going through a merger or other restructuring, or for new teams that want to get started on the right foot.  Four 3-4 hour sessions

Business Simulations

Your team plays the part of global consultants brought in to make recommendations to maximize efficiency and profits of a multinational company.

Our facilitator will demonstrate tools to use in each area. A powerful “flight simulator” for corporate pilots.  3-6 hours

Personal Profiles

HBDI The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) provides each team member with an assessment of his or her own thinking, communication, and decision-making style. Participants use this system to create a greater understanding of what other team members need, how to resolve conflicts, ways to reach customers and how to deliver a better product.

DiSC Helps employees at all levels better understand their own behavior, learn how and when to adapt their behavior to improve communication and reduce conflict, and enhance individual and team performance. This core report gives valuable feedback on a person's natural approach to completing tasks and interacting with others in a given environment.
