Teams In Transition: 6 Tips to Coach Teams Through the Storm -- Free Leadership TeleSeminar

Do you know how to coach a team in transition?

The number of teams going through some kind of transition has skyrocketed over the last year. 

Do any of these situations sound familiar?

• The team leader has quit / was replaced / was fired.
• Personnel on the team has changed.
• The team has been downsized or eliminated all together.
• The team must do more with less.
• The team must move in a new direction (and quickly).

Coached poorly, a Teamwork Facilitator can actually make things WORSE for a team in transition.

A skilled Teamwork Facilitator on the other hand can help the team move through the transition in a way that creates the greatest possible good for all involved. 

In this TeleSeminar, you’ll learn 6 important coaching tips to help teams move through transition with strength and grace. 

Teams (and individuals) can handle transitions much better when they have a deep level of trust in the team and themselves.  As a special bonus to all who attend, you'll be provided with a free lead-it-yourself trust exercise you can use with your team to explore trust at a deeper level.
