Are you a Nonprofit Professional in transition, or someone who has a strong urge to learn more about the industry from a career/volunteer aspect? Perhaps you are a provider of services to Nonprofit Organizations and wish to network with similar people and also help those in transition? This is the group and the meeting for you!

A powerful back-to-basics teambuilding seminar! Gifts, Thoughts, Actions!

THE SITUATION

The pressure on high-performance teams is as great as it has ever been. Yet, due to two critical trendlines, the ability of teams to excel is often at risk.
The first trend line is the burgeoning number of individuals in the nation’s workforce who are telecommuting. People don’t see each other anymore.
The second trend line revolves around communications technology and the widespread use of email and texting, both of which promote a shallow/shorthand way of connecting.
These two trend lines militate against the optimum development of high-performance teams, whose members need to communicate deeply, understand profoundly, and attach squarely to the team and its objectives.

THE SOLUTION

Gifts, Thoughts, Actions!, a dynamic session designed to get at the very essence of teambuilding. Through meaningful dialogue, participants gain a deeper understanding of their team members, powerful inspiration to support their actions, and a greater commitment to the team and its success.
