Getting in the Groove®

An entertaining and instructive approach to enhancing organizational performance using the insights and discipline that underpin the creativity of jazz improvisation.

Terra Nova™

Four specialized “guilds” (teams) come together to build, from scratch, a structure representing the new community of Terra Nova. As they struggle to collaborate on the project while maintaining high quality and profitability standards, they pause periodically to reflect, reassess and refocus on behaviors that will generate an optimal outcome.

Gold of the Desert Kings®

There is gold in the mountains! Experience the benefits of teamwork, planning, goal setting and managing risk in this challenging, high-energy race across the perilous desert.

Promises, Promises™

Roll out the red carpet… Experience the challenges of interdependent teams while in the role of newly elected politicians, fulfilling outrageous promises made during an intense election campaign. Here you’ll understand the huge benefits to be realized through trust, common vision and effective communication.

Council of the Marble Star™

Take the “Challenge of Excelleron” and serve as King Arthur's wise Elders did so long ago. Experience the challenges and rewards of balancing the need for short-term results with the need for long-term productive relationships.

Special Learning Events are different from traditional classroom-based training. Each of the above programs involves first a vivid experience for participants which they then debrief, with the aid of facilitated discussions. The goal is to draw key insights and practical ideas that people can apply back at work.

These programs show your managers how to:

• Collaborate creatively in the midst of constant change (Getting in the Groove®)
• Foster a work culture of execution (Terra Nova™)
• Develop a maximizing mentality (Gold of the Desert Kings®)
• Break down "silos" (Promises Promises®)
• Achieve maximum results AND maintain quality relationships (Excelleron®)

These are stand-alone half or full-day experiences where you learn more about your "default" leadership strategy and explore exciting new ways to manage your people and build an effective organization.
