Each company has its own motivation for doing a team building course: to integrate newly hired staff, to brainstorm on company issues outside the office or to promote better team spirit. Whatever the objective is, I conduct team building courses that will help your group open up lines of communication and reinforce interpersonal relationships; my role could be seen as Dialogue Enabler. I am committed to helping participants go from discussion (whose etymology signifies “to shake or break up”) to dialogue (dia logos = flow of meaning, together). Members of any team can benefit from being given a safe place in which they can share their professional expectations and challenges, build mutual understanding and respect, and explore team values. I often begin one of these workshops with a tool that will give participants a common language and approach to understanding human behaviour and which also serves as a solid foundation that they can refer to after the seminar. Some of the tools that I use are: Myers Briggs Type Indicator, FIRO-B, or Transactional Analysis. Creative communication and awareness raising are both the underlying themes and ultimate objectives of such a workshop.
