Team Building:  Team building is more than doing trust falls in a hotel ballroom.  It is the process of turning a group of individual employees into a cohesive team who have developed trust, who see healthy conflict as a good practice, who are committed to a common vision, who hold each other accountable, and who see the collective results of the organization as more important than personal gain.  We will show you how to get there.

Culture Coaching:  In their groundbreaking book, Corporate Culture and Performance, Harvard Business School professors John Kotter and James Heskett wrote that companies with healthy cultures outperformed their competitors in every measurable performance indicator.  Building good culture includes teaching communication and confrontation skills, helping individuals to understand their unique personality styles and those of others through assessments such as the Myers Briggs Type Indicator or Enneagram,  to create an emotionally safe environment where individuals are valued and can bring their full contribution to the workplace.
