TEAM BUILDING and CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Conflict Resolution

Do you have conflicts at within your organization? Are turf wars, conflicts, disagreements, and differences of opinion escalating into interpersonal conflict.  If so, you must intervene immediately. Mediated conflict resolution is essential.  Unfortunately, few  individuals are trained to mediate conflict between others.  Additionally, "in house" mediators are often seen as being partial to one side or another.  Third party mediators, especially if mutually agreed upon by the warring factions, often have more credibility. 

We charge $295.00 per hour for our mediation services.  Contact us for more information and a free needs assessment.

Team Building

Team building is designed for groups who want to improve the working relationships between individual members.  Activities are designed to foster personal awareness, understanding, sensitivity, communication skills, conflict resolution, and problem solving skills. 

People in every workplace talk about building the team, working as a team, and my team, but few understand how to create the experience of team work or how to develop an effective team. Belonging to a team, in the broadest sense, is a result of feeling part of something larger than yourself. It has a lot to do with your understanding of the mission or objectives of your organization.

In a team-oriented environment, you contribute to the overall success of the organization. You work with fellow members of the organization to produce these results. Even though you have a specific job function and you belong to a specific department, you are unified with other organization members to accomplish the overall objectives. The bigger picture drives your actions; your function exists to serve the collective goals of the organization.

You need to differentiate this overall sense of teamwork from the task of developing an effective intact team that is formed to accomplish a specific goal. People confuse the two team building objectives. This is why so many team building seminars, meetings, retreats, and activities are deemed failures by their participants. Leaders failed to define the team they wanted to build. Developing an overall sense of team work is different from building an effective, focused work team when you consider team building approaches.

Prices vary widely for our team building services, depending on the number of participants, location of the training (e.g., ropes/confidence course) and your overall goal.  Contact us for more information and a free needs assessment.
