If you have been in business for any length of time, you have discovered some of the truths of teamwork:

Everybody is unique . . . and you can't change them.

Different people are motivated by different things.

Fractured communication underlies almost every problem at work.

People absolutely love it when the team is really working well together, but don't know how to achieve good teamwork. It either happens or it doesn't.

The good managers are the ones who know how to pitch to people's strengths . . . whatever they are!

It will disclose to each member of your team the communication style that he or she uses.

It will disclose to each team member what makes the other members of the team click.

It will teach all of you the basic skills of team building . . . recognizing one another's strengths . . . pitching to one another's strengths. . . solving problems by avoiding them in the first place . . . taking the practical steps that give everyone that wonderful experience of being part of a team instead of simply doing the job.

Our Team Building Seminars use as their point of departure the Personal Profile System, developed by the Carlson Learning Company, which everyone in the group fills out and then self scores. The System yields a "profile" for each participant, indicating their style of communication in team situations. It is uncannily accurate, a lot of fun to take, and sets a good base for the discussions and exercises that make up the balance of the Team Building Seminar.

Depending on the size of your group and your specific needs, the Team Building Seminar will take as little as six hours or as much as two days. Each Seminar is tailored to your particular needs.
