The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™ is the result of the partnership between Wiley Workplace Learning Solutions and best-selling author of The Five Behaviors of a Dysfunctional Team, Patrick Lencioni. Together, they have created a team program with a simple goal – to improve team effectiveness and productivity through the understanding and application of The Five Behaviors: Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Results.

With The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™, individuals gain insight about their team’s strengths and challenges and discover how effective communication and objective feedback transforms team culture. Powered by Everything DiSC®, the profiles help participants understand their own DiSC style – D: Dominance, i: Influence, S:Steadiness, and C: Conscientiousness – and how their style contributes to the team’s overall success.

This program is designed for intact teams and can take from 1 – 3 days. Additional coaching and/or consulting optional.

POWERFUL PRESENTATIONS

Does being asked to make a presentation send you into a tizzy? For many people, it does. The good news is, you don’t have to remain paralyzed by fear of public speaking. Many people are curious about Toastmasters International, a non-profit organization that helps individuals become better communicators and consequently, more effective leaders. During this session, Distinguished Toastmaster, Beth Rudy, will inspire you to wipe those sweaty palms, join Toastmasters, and learn to communicate with confidence. Confident communicators propel their careers forward, build stronger relationships and healthier teams, facilitate innovation by persuading people to adopt their ideas, improve employee morale, increase trust, gain commitment, and ultimately get more of what they want out of life.

“As a result of Beth’s dynamic presentation and testimony, I joined a Toastmasters Club. I am very excited about my path and the many things I anticipate learning while a member of this wonderful organization.” -Rhonda, Talent Analyst
