Smart Team Development
High performance team development
My speech shares the inside information about the characteristics of high performance teams, but I often get asked, "Well that's great, how do we begin to develop them in our team?" I specialise in offering workshops and programmes of ongoing facilitation for teams in business, education and sport to help you unlock potential in your leaders.
Resilience
It may surprise you to hear that all elite athletes have major setbacks. All of them! Even the ones that turn up time and time again and win. Of course, sports teams have ups and downs to manage too. We know that the best athletes and teams have resilience - but did you know that the actions, habits and behaviours that enable resilience can all be learned. Especially in the current COVID pandemic, teams are looking to learn how to best weather the ups and downs and how to kick on for tomorrow. Let me know if I can help you to create resilience in your team.
