Program Overview:

This program originated 10 years ago and has evolved with each engagement to achieve several outcomes:

•  A real team building that resulted in concrete improvements in team capability and team results as opposed to games and "make-believe" that commonly are done in the guise of team performance building.
•  A means for internalizing self-knowledge (i.e. natural tendencies, motivations, decision making and relationship styles, personality, etc…) so that this awareness leads to greater capability and potential.
• An effective process for minimizing and eliminating impediments to open feedback and authentic collaboration in teams.
• An effective process for accurately pinpointing the most valuable opportunities and the most likely threats so that a team can achieve better results through better focus.
