Team Building & Team Development

Our innovative, neuroscience-based Team Building and Team Development solutions include nimble app-based gamification challenges through to practical, strategic facilitation using L.E.A.N Six Sigma methodologies.

Executive teams to Team Leaders and staff, on or off-site, from small teams to conferences of 100+ staff, our expert team will get results.

One of our big advantages is that we relate the Team Development/ Team Building program observations and connect these back to the workplace. Unlike some Team Building/ Development events, the learning from our programs doesn’t stop when everyone goes home. We enable people to continue it back in the office and to become more aware of their own working practices and those of their colleagues.

We’ve successfully turned around dysfunctional, high conflict, poorly performing, siloed teams with little structure and poor communication, into best practice management teams. We also succeeded in working with already high performing teams, and guiding them to even greater levels of achievement.

06 Team Emotional Intelligence Development

Team Communication and Development

Team members must develop trust, since it is not always automatically present. Accordingly, members must communicate more openly than they normally would in everyday life. There must be honesty on all ends of the team, since withholding the truth could damage the team’s integrity. Team members should always share information and feelings

Coaching Culture Leadership – Speaker Engagement – Chairman of CEO Institute Syndicates

I had Simon speak to my syndicates about the whole neuroscience perspective and how it relates to self-development, leadership skill sets and CEO performance. He was an excellent presenter receiving very high evaluations from all participants. His approach was practical and yet introduced members to neuroscience and its usefulness in understanding leadership development and I strongly recommend him to your chairs in the Sydney area. He also addressed the coaching role and the part it can play in personal development and team building. He also engaged with me fully prior to the sessions to make sure he came in at the right level to meet my members needs. I wholeheartedly recommend him to you and to your Chairmen.

Michael Powell, Chairman, CEO Institute Syndicates, Griffith University
