CLIENT CASE STUDY
“Total Teamwork – Working Together for Better Results”My collaboration with one of the Kaiser Permanente departments here in San Diego was noteworthy because the client’s bigger objective was to merge four previously independent departments into one. My role in the collaboration: Help the leaders of those four areas begin to bond as one unit thru a series of four staff off-sites.
“Total Teamwork: Working Together for Better Results” is the most experiential of my topics and the only one that works best as a workshop, rather than a keynote. The centerpiece of this presentation is an interactive team-simulation activity and the workshop is usually highly customized which makes this the perfect selection for retreats, staff development and team off-sites.
I’m able to use my background and skills (Master’s Degree in Counseling, facilitation skills and experience as a university dean of students) in order to help groups feel comfortable discussing potentially challenging team communication concerns. A common comment by clients following this workshop: “I can’t believe that so-and-so was so forthcoming and open in the discussion. They never talk at work!”
Please take a look at client list and client testimonials. See below for an example of content provided in this presentation. I look forward to collaborating with you! Sarita
