Pre-Conference Workshop: "The Innovative Team"
The Innovative Team is a team development workshop for both untrained and experienced facilitators based on actual material that Tom Leahy uses with his adult and corporate clients. It is a broad-based training of challenge initiatives and facilitation skills focused on creating an effective team out of a gaggle of individuals, regardless their age or experience.
This workshop focuses on Tom's original models, tools and skills that create teams that communicate clearly, solve problems together and make decisions quickly with total buy-in. Bold claims you say?
