Fundamentals of a Team Member – May 31 2018
This workshop is for you if you want to turn your ordinary team into an extraordinary one.
The one-day session highlights the three key phases of being an excellent team member: Mindset, Action and Leadership.
It focuses on the actual members and how they can individually contribute to the collective effectiveness of the whole team. Many of these principles are derived from high performing sales teams and military special forces teams.
Frontline workers, volunteers and team leaders benefit from this principled approach to teamwork that is the first building block on the path to leadership excellence.
Participants will learn the qualities of an effective team member, how to communicate ideas effectively, problem-solving and managing risk.
The workshop is interactive and facilitated with activities for learning.
Date: May 31, 2018, 9:00am-4:00pm
Location: Family and Children’s Services, 817 Division Street, Kingston
