TEAM: The Only Four-letter Word Everyone Should Use!

Could your organization benefit from a program that would redefine service, leadership, diversity, cultural mergers, communications, and system breakdowns? Does the idea of a presentation that explains the dynamics and mechanics of teaming in a common-sense fashion appeal to you and your coworkers? What if you could have all this in a light and lively program with a healthy mix of laughter and energy? Sound impossible? Too good to be true? Well, it's not! Dr. Dale Henry dismantles the teaming process, enabling your team members to understand how to:

  • Establish continuity through group diversity
  • Construct teams that deliver "Just In Time" Customer Service
  • Build a leadership mentality among all its members
  • Enable the strength of the individual to contribute to the strength of the team
  • Co-ordinate and incorporate new ideas from outside sources
  • Just flat-out understand why we can get along with some and can't get along with others

Dale's unique presentation style has allowed him to capture the essence of teaming and transfer it to the hearts of individual members. From conference rooms to banquet rooms, Dr. Dale's message of excellence and team coordination hits the target every time!

Sailing The Winds of Change on The Seven C's

Centuries ago, when cartographers were rendering maps of the explored world, there was always the unknown. These unexplored lands were always areas of mystery.
