Introducing...
Go from feeling overwhelmed to prepared, knowledgeable and confident as you facilitate structured, yet customizable, team sessions that generate on-going business
If you’re a Team Consultant or HR Business Partner who supports leaders in building high-impact teams (and who really wants to make a difference), then you already know the value of having a variety of proven, easy-to-use team tools.
You know that teams are complex and that there is no "cookie-cutter" solution that is perfect for all teams. You also know how time consuming it is to prepare for and develop team building sessions that make a sustainable difference.
Meaningful team building is challenging and interesting - and that is probably why you are drawn to it. There is so much reward in knowing that you played a role in building a team that is highly productive AND happy.
HERE'S WHAT YOU
MIGHT NOT KNOW
Proven tools exist that can increase your confidence about helping teams with all type of challenges.
-
The Better Teams Model
When you have a model to talk with teams about "the team" it's easier for everyone to align. "Teaming" means something different to everyone so, using the Better Teams Model as a framework creates a common understanding and language about teams. -
Assessing Teams Doesn't Have to Be Difficult or Expensive
When you are asked to support a team, you have to do some discovery work to figure out the current state. Using a simple team assessment provides you and the team with a consolidated report about how they see themselves. This information is used to drive the entire process - and it creates buy-in because it comes from the team. I can show you an assessment that is easy and affordable. And... you can use it right away! -
Using Agenda Templates Saves You Time
Rather than start from scratch with each new team or use the same agenda each time (boring and ineffective), use customizable templates that save you time. You can shave hours off of your planning time. What will you do with the extra time? :) -
Networking with Other Team Consultants Makes You Stronger
Professionals who support leaders and teams are amazing resources. In fact, they are some of the most helpful, giving people I know. There are limitless approaches to use with teams. Being exposed to new ideas and activities can only make you more well-rounded and capable.
Even though the reasons to enhance your tool kit are obvious, the path to doing it successfully is anything but.
A team is struggling...
What would you do?
A Cry for Help
A leader comes to you and asks you to facilitate a team meeting because she is struggling. The team isn't meeting goals and team members are openly unhappy with the leader and each other. She wants you to come facilitate a one day session and "fix" the situation.
Confusion and Overwhelm
You aren't sure where to begin. No one is sure of the root cause of the problem, let alone how to go about resolving it. With only a few weeks to prepare, and only one day with the team, you want to help, but fear you may make things worse.
Clarity on the Team's Need & Your Approach
Then, you remember you can use the Better Teams Model and Assessment as a framework. You get the team to assess themselves and this report gives you insight into the team's root issues. Now you are ready choose the right agenda template and plug in the most useful team activities for the team off-site. You have a solid plan now - you are confident and excited about helping this team improve performance AND become happier!
3 Mindsets that Prevent You from Reaching Your Potential
Mindset #1
There isn't enough time.
Do you have a lot on your plate already? The truth is, we make time for what is important. Successful people make time for development, networking and planning... all of which are important, but not urgent. Staying current and learning new approaches will enable you to stand out to clients. The secret to getting it done is to break it down into manageable pieces and schedule it into your calendar. Can you spend 1-2 hours a week for 6 weeks on your own development? If it is important to you, you will.
Mindset #2
I'll do it later, because I don't have any team clients right now.
Are you waiting until you get clients to learn? Yikes, that will be too late. If you build your knowledge and skills now, you will be ready-to-go when the clients come. Not only that, you'll have more confidence to win new clients. Having proven models, assessments and activities in your tool kit gives you something substantial to offer new clients. You can wow and impress leaders when you show them how your approach will strengthen their team.
Mindset #3
I learn best when I can talk to others.
Not sure about an online course? Here is the beauty of it. Not only can you watch (and re-watch the videos anytime you want), but you can also participate daily in the conversations on the Private Facebook Group. And, if you sign up for GOLD - you get three live Mastermind Sessions with Leigh Ann and the other students... you can build new relationships and network with like-minded pros!

"The Better Teams Model and Assessment opens the door in the live review session to bring up sensitive but important conversations that team members are unlikely to bring up on their own."
September Spore, Consultant, Change Coach and Meeting Facilitator
"I love the Better Teams Assessment! As a facilitator, I love the fact that I can mediate team issues with them knowing their feedback is confidential and anonymous to our organization."
Carol, Training Officer
