The Team Effectiveness Conference

How to Turn Your Staff into a Powerful Goal Conquering Team…
in Just 1 Day!


Is your team just together working or building synergy by really working together?

Are you frustrated with a team that could perform far better if they could just work together?  Do you see lost opportunities and relationships spoiled by poor communication, divergent agendas and a lack of trust?

Imagine if your team were all on the same page with a common purpose and group identity! 
What would it mean to your results if your team knew how to work to their strengths instead of being frustrated by their differences?  How much wasted time would be saved and lost opportunities realised if open communication existed?

The Team Effectiveness Conference™ could be the teamwork solution you've been looking for.  This process is based on 11 years experience working with teams and teaches the teamwork philosophies and skills needed to transform a team from being ‘together working’ to working together. 

Using a  powerful 4 step process, delivered over 1 day to focus on establishing common team direction and building skills for open communication and synergy.


  • Step 1: DISCovering better ways of working together
    Participants gain an understanding of different personality types and how this knowledge can be used to create better team outcomes.  The knowledge of personalities is complimented by explaining essential skills such as giving feedback, delegation, motivating, decision making and problem solving with other people.

  • Step 2: Developing a common team purpose.
    This is simply the most powerful team building strategy available!  Team purpose cuts across silos by providing a sense of combined meaning and solidarity. Developing a sense of meaningful contribution is the cornerstone of motivation.

  • Step 3: Identifying team values.
    It is one thing for a team to know why they exist (purpose) it is another to know who they are. Common values guide how team members behave when they are working together.

  • Step 4: First Steps. 
    It usually becomes obvious that there are a few immediate changes which can benefit the team in aligning with its new purpose and values. Planning out the first steps is essential to getting the ball rolling back in the workplace.
 

7 Ways Your Team Will Benefit

By the end of this powerful one day process your team will;
  1. Have developed a common team purpose and agreed values
  2. Understand each team members’ personality style and why they do the things they do
  3. Have learned in-depth micro communication skills for listening to fellow team mates and tools for asserting needs more clearly and effectively
  4. Understand different relationship styles such and Lose-Win or Win-Loose and know how to build a Win-Win team culture
  5. Understand the importance of trust in a team and how to develop and sustain trust
  6. Have identified each person’s own individual communication challenges and develop appropriate solutions
  7. Leave motivated about the team and their place in it!

Here’s what a recent team had to say about the
The Team Effectiveness Conference™...



"What a fantastic session! We all learned so much today from James, plus had an opportunity to open up and express any concerns, issues or ongoing problems at work and personal that we can address and work on to improve as people. Go for it, you’ve got everything to learn about yourself and the people you work with – It’s all really positive information.”
Darcy Power, Manager

 

“This is a first for me, so I really got a lot of relevant information that I can use not only in work situations, but in general life. Just do it! You will learn not only about yourself, but relevant information about your workmates, along with life long skills in communicating and conversing with people.”
Jenny Exell, Manager

 
“I thought the session had some immediate effects on a number of our people. For me, it cemented the importance of culture as a motivating and guiding framework for success. I am very keen to see this type of workshop implemented throughout the whole group. I think it will help to iron out some of the issues we face across the organization day to day.”
James Cooper, CEO
