We believe in the concept of teams as highly effective work groups. But we acknowledge one important caveat: teams take time to develop and require the leader's attention in order to be effective.

With this in mind, we offer a suite of training programs which we can customize to your leadership team's needs

Two-Day Offsite

Under the leadership of Senior Partner Amelia Tess Thornton, a Table Group Affiliate, we offer this popular team development program created by best-selling author Patrick Lencioni.

In a highly interactive, fast-paced session is designed specifically for leaders and their direct reports, your leadership team will put into practice the concepts outlined in several of Patrickís books, including content from his bestseller The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, as well as The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive.

During their two intensive days together, your team will:

• 
  
• Gain a thorough understanding of the expectations and challenges in building and maintaining a cohesive team
  
  
• Assess and make immediate progress in overcoming their teamís potential dysfunctions
  
  
• Address the effectiveness of the teamís meetings and its contribution to the overall success of the group
  
  
• Review and validate the organizationís direction and ensure alignment exists among the team
  
  
• Develop and begin to implement the organizationís Thematic Goal
  
  
• Discuss the implications of appropriate communication and what changes are necessary to ensure alignment throughout the organization
  
  Because team-oriented exercises and activities are embeddedin the discussionof business issues, participants never feel as though they are doing a touchy-feely or theoretical exercise.

  Influencing With Integrity

  People skillsóalso known as personal mastery in communicationócan make the difference between success and failure in business, and often in life.
  
  Our three-day seminar "Influencing With Integrity," introduces a powerful concept developed by Genie LaBorde, Ph.D., a leading thinker in the new science of Syntonics (syntony: harmony with self and others).
  
  The IWI seminar is designed to build skills that enable your team to influence others in ways that nurture relationships based on mutual agreement and trust. Training principles are derived from psychology, linguistics, Systems Theory, and Confluent Learning.
  
  In this journey of discovery, you begin your quest by knowing your desired Outcomes, then by practicing the three skills to reach them: sensory acuity, flexibility, and congruence.
