If you’ve been working with teams for any length of time then you’ve experienced them (or you’re going to).
These 5 dilemmas, if not addressed, will sink a team.
Imagine having both the skill and confidence to facilitate a team through any one of these 5 dilemmas and doing it in a practical and holistic way.
Would that be awesome?
For the first time ever, you can learn time-tested strategies, tactics and tools that two of North America’s most experienced team facilitators use to guide a team through these 5 dilemmas in this…
LIVE Teams In Trouble Train-The-Trainer Workshop
Join Master Facilitator Michael Goldman of FacilitationFirst.com and Leading Teamwork Coach Tom Heck of TeachMeTeamwork.com for a truly fun and experiential workshop where you’ll learn how to lead field-tested facilitation strategies that work.
Michael (on the left) and Tom know what they’re talking about - - they’ve been to the belly of the (team dysfunction) dragon multiple times and lived to tell about it.
We are the "Teams In Trouble" experts!
Don't believe us? Just Google this phrase "teams in trouble" and you'll see. We're in the number one spot for a reason.
We’ve shared our insights on working with teams with thousands of professionals in our wildly successful “Teams In Trouble” TeleSeminar series.
We’ve been teaching about how to work with Teams In Trouble to packed TeleClasses (conference calls) for the last two years.
We’ve even developed two multimedia training CDs based on the Teams In Trouble TeleSeminar content, which are now sold to trainers and facilitators around the world (register now and get a free set!).
The TeleSeminars receive rave reviews, AND we’ve decided to ramp up the Teams In Trouble training in a big way by offering this LIVE train-the-trainer workshop. Through this workshop you’ll gain the needed confidence to facilitate a Teams In Trouble scenario because you’ll PRACTICE the interventions and get valuable feedback from experts in the field.
THE INSTRUCTORS: Passionate and Fun Loving
If you’ve attended one of our Teams In Trouble TeleSeminars then you know we work really well together. We have a nice give-and-take and naturally create an energized learning environment. We bring out the best in each other and you’re the one who benefits.
Trainer Pat Beaugard says this:
As a coach and trainer, I work with managers who need to be able to get their teams and workgroups on the same page. In this interactive teleseminar, Michael Goldman and Tom Heck provided a clear, easily understood model for reaching consensus in any group and an experiential activity that helps people "get it." The top-notch content and thorough notes were definitely valuable. If you want to improve your skills at consensus building, this class is your answer. I look forward to future teleseminars on related topics. Keep up the great work! Patricia Beaugard, Executive Coach & Trainer
Topics We’ll Cover at This LIVE Train-The-Trainer Workshop
Where did the “5 Team Dilemmas” come from?
We sent a survey to some of the nation’s top trainers, facilitators, consultants, and managers and received over 400 responses. Here’s what your colleagues in the field say matters most to them:
VOTED # 1 Dilemma:
Shutting Up or Speaking Out - How to Develop Trust
Developing trust was by far the number one choice, so this topic will be the centerpiece of this LIVE workshop.
And it’s no wonder that Trust is the number one choice. Stephen M.R. Covey’s book entitled “The Speed of Trust” will tell you trust is the lifeblood of an effective team. Patrick Lencioni, author of the NY Times best seller “The Five Dysfunctions of a Team” places trust at the foundation of his team pyramid -- weak trust gives you a weak foundation (would you build your home on a weak foundation?).
What do you do when a team is in trouble on this trust issue? At this workshop you’ll learn several life-saving (team-saving) strategies that will help your team turn the trouble into a strength.
VOTED # 2 Dilemma:
A Communication Breakdown – The Bane of Every Team And What To Do About It
True Story…
A VP overhears some employees discussing how poor communication is between regional and corporate offices. At the next senior management meeting, the VP shares what he’s heard to determine the validity.
And that’s when it happens.
Voices suddenly become raised, fingers start to point, and sweeping statements are made like “Forget about the communication issues between regional and corporate, we don’t communicate properly on this senior management team!”
Suddenly, the group goes quiet. The truth has been revealed.
You are the trainer called in to help the team. What do you do?
Come to this LIVE train-the-trainer workshop in Boston November 12-13 and you’ll learn AND practice strategies for dealing with this type of situation.
VOTED # 3 Dilemma:
Stop Team Member Domination and Unleash the Power of Teamwork
Dominant team members can hijack a team’s agenda. You’ve seen it and it’s no fun.
Before you know it, the soul of a team is lost in the wind and all that’s left is the shell of a group that exists in name only.
And they had so much potential!
With the skills we’ll teach you at this workshop you’ll be able to nip this problem in the bud and do it in a way that supports the team long-term.
VOTED # 4 Dilemma:
The Team As Victim - How To Help A Team Get Unstuck And Reclaim It's Power
An individual (one team member) can take on the roll of victim and that can have a negative impact on a team (bad apple syndrome, etc.).
What about when the ENTIRE TEAM adopts a victim mentality?
Now THAT can be a challenge - - if you don’t know what to do.
No worries.
You’ll be attending our November 12-13 Train-The-Trainer workshop in Boston so you’ll know what to do.
VOTED # 5 Dilemma:
Strategies for Consensus - How To Avoid False Agreements
Everyone’s in the room. It’s time to make a decision and run with it.
You want buy-in from everyone. You want consensus.
But how do you know you’re truly building consensus?
After all, you’ve attended those meetings where everyone nodded in approval and then a day later everyone’s headed in a different direction.
Never experience this again when you learn what we’re teaching about consensus building at the November 12-13 Teams In Trouble Train-The-Trainer workshop in Boston.
Why are only 40 people allowed to attend?
Michael and I enjoy working with small groups because we have time to give individual attention and feedback.
The 40-person limit makes sense when you see the amount of hands-on practice we’ve built into this workshop design.
With a small workshop size Michael and I will get to know you. You’ll work in small teams, rotating frequently giving you the opportunity to learn from and enjoy the company of like-minded professionals. There will be no getting lost in a sea of people here. If you’ve got something to say or a question to ask you’ll have our attention.
Imagine the networking opportunities! You’ll be in the same room and working with some of the top trainers, facilitators, and coaches from North America (and beyond!).
