Programs And Services
Following are brief descriptions of each of our general offerings. The final design for your needs will be determined following a needs assessment and determination of desired outcomes.
High Performance Team Building
Crucial to team success is the role of the individual, the relationships between individuals, the standards and practices of the team, and clarity of the team's mission or purpose. Because team dynamics undergo such rapid change, leaders, managers and individuals often become frustrated in leading or participating on teams. GABE Company coaches people how to observe and manage elements essential to high-performing teams. Awareness and accountability surrounding these principles ensure that new members can join any number of teams seamlessly and productively. Foundational conversations and experiential activities concerning honesty, integrity, and trust provide distinctions that allow teams and individuals to act more effectively. As the leader and the team members become more practiced at observing and operating with these elements, their ability to raise their performance standards with customers and partners increases.
We strongly urge that the concepts be integrated with existing business processes and practices to ensure coherence within the organization.
High Performance Team Collaboration
High Performance Team Collaboration is an effective development process that allows people to identify how they are currently communicating. Most people come into a conversation with a hopeful intent, unaware that there is an inherent design, which either creates value or waste. High Performance Team Collaboration produces a higher level of personal awareness and provides people principles, tools, and practices, which enhance their capacity to collaborate more effectively. This increases creativity, innovation within a stronger alliance.
Beginning with a two day non-residential conference participants will be grounded in the program principles and introduced to practices that support them. Attendees will also become aware of their own conditioned tendencies and the impact they have on their performance. Following the conference, intact work teams will function as learning teams over a 6 week period in order to apply the new technology into the current culture and practices. Ongoing coaching can be added during the course of the program in order to add depth of understanding and embodiment. The program will complete with a one day conference in order to build strategies for taking the process forward, share best practices discovered by the learning teams, give the learning teams an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding, and celebrate completion of the program.
Leadership Development
GABE Company possesses the ability to design and deliver leadership development programs which combine the elements of self-mastery skills, deepening self-awareness, development of the capacity to embody a more powerful presence when listening and speaking, and the skills to build relationships while driving towards results.
The structure of our development program consists of the combination of a High Performance Teambuilding training to establish foundational practices and prepare the participant for the commitment to learning which lies ahead. Based on a custom design the remaining program of four to seven months would involve management teams applying their learning directly to work issues and current management challenges.
The development structure would most likely be a combination of short conferences, self-managed learning groups, and coaching in the form of facilitated learning group meetings.
