Indaba Teamwork
Right now, almost all work is teamwork-most people understand this. But what does it take to make a team work?
Teamwork is the fundamental force that drives business.
Progressive leaders understand the significance that Cutting Edge Team Dynamics has on the bottom line.
Indaba instructors, experts in group behavior and learning, deliver an accelerated learning program to change behavior in individuals and teams. Cutting Edge Team Dynamics is an interactive workshop that focuses on how to develop high performance teams. In the session, attendees work on a time-sensitive project that serves as a visual reminder of lessons learned.
Our Teambuilding Program will:
 
  • Take team members out of their comfort zones to facilitate high-impact accelerated learning.
  • Create a memorable, fun experience to bind team commitment.
  • Explain the appropriate degrees of commitment for team effectiveness.
  • Give teams specific models, guidelines, skills and knowledge to consistently achieve results.
  • Explain effective roles of team members and leaders focusing on responsibility, accountability and authority.
  • Delineate the process for team metrics, checkpoints and benchmarks for team accountability.
  • Set criteria for peak performance in individuals and teams.
  • Propel existing teams to their next level of team excellence.
  • Explain the importance of team goals, including vision, mission and purpose.
  • Provide a forum for challenging current attitudes, beliefs and skills.

Who would have thought, as I was sitting on the floor of my 7 year old son's room on April 30th, picking out a Matchbox car, that we would have ended up with that view (Mosaic) on May 9th. "Bringing the Future to the Present" seemed to be in full action. The two day experience was deeply rewarding and the icing on the cake was the fact that my vision was brought to life through the hands of my peers. This sense of joy and accomplishment remains in my heart. Simple and meaningful, these actions expressed the passion of our leaders to make positive change in our organization and to ourselves. I look forward to the chance to work with you again and learn the benefits of stimulating others into "seeking knowledge" to better our life.
 
This course is necessary - and in my opinion should be mandated - for every person who is forced (or wants to) work on a team. Oh, and by the way, did I mention that it was the most fun I had in a workshop in years!
 
For each of the areas addressed at the seminar, we will provide you with our opinion of what you need to present and market your products and services in each of these income ranges. Then we will continue by telling you what we think you need to have and do, to propel yourself to the next tier of income. The ranges we have chosen as reference points are the $100-250K range, the 250-500K range and the level above $1M. We will provide you with ADVANCED SALES & MARKETING STRATEGIES and PR Tips and Tactics necessary to get you to – and past—each of the levels.
 
To teach the concept we have taken the approach of the "4 Doors for Entrance" (Coaching, Consulting, Training, & Speaking). For each door, at every income tier, there are different strategies. The Rich Integration™ audio series will teach you how to build a thriving practice using the 4 Doors.
 
I used to think that teamwork was 'go slow work' but now I understand that it's only that way if you don't pull in the same direction with the same basis for operating. Our company is faster because our teams work better than we ever did as individual players.
 
This was the first course in ten years that had staying power in our organization. My team still talks about the experience almost every time we get together. We absolutely use the methods and models you gave us. To this day it's how we do business. They are simple, everybody agrees with them and they have staying power!
