The aim
To show how to become a better team



About the program
"For me tonight was a very powerful night really. Because there was no one to catch them, they concentrated so hard. I think today they came together really well as a team." (Jamie Oliver)

Jamie Oliver's passion and vision transformed a bunch of unemployed kids into an efficient, organized team, capable of running a first-class London restaurant. Fifteen lessons on teamwork identifies the key stages of team development - forming, storming, norming and performing. It follows Jamie's young trainee chefs as they move through these stages to come together as an effective unit. The program identifies four easy-to-remember learning points so your team can apply the trainees' experiences to improve their own team skills:

Get it straight
This corresponds to the team development stage known as forming, when the team members are put together for the first time. The goals and expectations of the team have to be clearly established. Individual team members ask themselves what they each bring to the team.

Get on board
The team is now at the storming stage. Individual strengths and weaknesses start to emerge as team members work out how to support each other. Individual wants and needs have to take second place to what the team needs.

Get stuck in
The team now moves into the norming stage, where ground rules are established. The team has to work out how to resolve conflict and solve problems, as well as dealing with practicalities such as how tasks are shared out. It's a time to make sure everyone is committed to the team's goals.

Get better
This learning point corresponds to the performing stage, when the group is functioning as a true team. The question for the team now is: Are we learning all the time, not just from the good things but also from our mistakes? The team must also keep striving to achieve more, both individually and together.

Ouch! That Stereotype Hurts - DVD

new.gif

Produced - 2007

Just one person speaking up can inspire others to do the same.

Free Online Preview

What do you do if someone you care about is the target of demeaning stereotypes? What if you are being demeaned or stereotyped? How often do you speak up on behalf of respect? This new program, based on the book by Leslie Aguilar, can be used for training on Diversity & Inclusion, Communication, Teamwork and Leadership.

Why is OUCH! important?

Staying silent in the face of demeaning comments, stereotypes or bias allows these attitudes and behaviors to thrive. This undermines our ability to create an inclusive workplace where all employees are welcomed, treated with respect and able to do their best work. Yet, most employees and leaders who want to speak up don't know how. So, we say nothing.

What Does OUCH! do?

In a unique and powerful way, viewers will experience the impact of stereotypical comments, explore why people don't speak up against stereotypes and other biased behaviors, and learn six techniques for speaking up without blame or guilt.

OUCH! Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the impact of stereotypes and biased statements, even when casually said.
  • Identify the most common reasons people sit silent in the face of bias and stereotypes.
  • Enhance skills for speaking up against stereotypes without blame or guilt.

Program includes: 12 minute DVD or VHS video, Speaking Up Activity 5 min., OUCH! That Stereotype Hurts with vignettes 13 min., CD-ROM with Leader's Guide, Powerpoint presentation, 1 OUCH! book and 10 OUCH! reminder cards

Poor communication costs money. And it's not just money that's wasted; it's energy, enthusiasm for the job and relationships as well. In this age of empowerment and shared accountability for the bottom line, everyone must take responsibility for communicating clearly.

This video demonstrates four practical, effective techniques for improving communication in the workplace: making yourself clear, adding reinforcement, becoming an active listener, and finding hidden messages. The video also dramatically illustrates how expensive a careless communication error can be. The cumulative cost of these sometimes small, sometimes devastating errors can chisel away at a company's profitability.

Using the skills demonstrated in this video, viewers will communicate more clearly and reduce unnecessary costs in time, morale and money.

Program includes: A 19 minute DVD or VHS(available in English and Spanish), 32 page comprehensive training leader's guide with reproducible worksheets. DVD contains PDF version of leader's guide. (Guide and PowerPoint files available as a download.) DVD is subtitled.

What to Do When Conflict Happens - DVD

new.gif

Produced - 2007

This course is also available for online training, see details below.

What causes the most stress across ALL occupations? The interpersonal conflicts we all experience on a daily basis - with coworkers or supervisors. Give your employees a memorable, easy-to-implement tool to resolve conflict.

Rather than a complicated model, What to Do When Conflict Happens introduces:

  • C - CLARIFY the issue
  • A - ADDRESS the problem
  • L - LISTEN to the other side
  • M - MANAGE your way to resolution

What makes the C.A.L.M. approach unique is the first stage - CLARIFY, where employees step back and think. They rationally examine what's happening, why it's happening, why they feel the way they do, and what they need to keep in mind as they address the issue.

Program includes: A 21 minute VHS or DVD with bonus segment, Leader's Guide, PowerPoint Presentation on CD-ROM, 10 participant Workbooks, 10 copies of the book What to do…When Conflict Happens and 10 Reminder Cards

Teambuilding Effectiveness Facilitator's Guide

This instrument looks at the ability to effectively build a team using the Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing model. It is critical to understand the stages through which a typical team will travel over time. Within these stages seven categories of teambuilding competency can be derived.

When individuals or organizations face significant situations or challenges, one of the first priorities is to understand the issues involved and to work out what needs to be done. In many cases, we do not need any formal assistance to help this process and can think our way through the steps that seem to be most appropriate. However, on occasion the issues or the problems may not be entirely clear and a structured approach can help considerably.

This program's diagnostic assessment is simple and easy-to-use and its comprehensive profile helps participants understand their skills or the situations they face more effectively.

See firsthand just how much fun, when combined with commitment, relates to organizational success and personal satisfaction.

Sure, a day at the ballpark might sound like a good time. But when it's your job, it can mean a fifteen-hour day of hard work, whether you're cleaning the bleachers, keeping the books or taking care of customers. How do they do it?

For the people who work here, fun is an attitude. An experience. It's why everyone from head groundskeeper to the president and co-owner is passionate about coming to work. Having fun on the job makes these employees more creative, more productive, and ultimately more satisfied. They don't take themselves too seriously. They treat each other with respect. And they make every day an event.

Based on the principles developed by Glenn M. Parker in the best-selling Parker Team-Player Survey, this film shows in detail the four primary team-member styles in action -- the contributor, the collaborator, the communicator and the challenger. The object is to make the most of each team player's unique perspective. To accomplish this goal, team players must learn to identify their own style and the style of other team members, avoid carrying their style too far, learn to acknowledge the value of others' styles, use the appropriate style to maximum team advantage, and learn to switch their style when it suits the needs of the team.

Participants will be able to identify:

  • Four distinct team-player styles and recognize how each style contributes to a team and can potentially hinder a team
  • Five strategies for becoming a better team player and maximizing the team's effectiveness
  • The personal and organizational benefits of becoming better team players and team leaders
