Team and Leader Coaching

As a follow-up to our initial two-day offsite, Table Group Consultants are available to work with teams on an ongoing basis. The approach will vary by client need and usually involves some combination of one-on-one coaching, meeting facilitation, and strategic offsite planning and facilitation.

TEAMinar

This large-scale offsite session takes a number of teams through the Five Dysfunctions material simultaneously. Each team will experience the Five Dysfunctions material consistently and break-out into team focused discussions with the aid of a consultant.

Organizational Roll-Out

This train-the-trainer type option is available for those organizations who want to build their own delivery capacity.

Naked Approach

While our original models around teamwork, leadership and organizational health attract clients to our consulting services, our unique approach plays a critical role in their satisfaction and ultimately their success. Using the approach outlined in our book, Getting Naked: a Business Fable about Shedding the Three Fears that Sabotage Client Loyalty, our consultants influence change by adhering to the ‘naked’ approach pioneered at our firm.

According to the model, Table Group Consultants:

• Are willing to ask tough questions and explore difficult situations in order to effectively serve a client. Our consultants are concerned with building trust and loyalty with clients and do not withhold information in Fear of Losing the Business.
• Actively propose ideas and insights in order to prompt new thinking—even if they turn out to be incorrect. By overcoming the Fear of Being Embarrassed, our consultants never hold back ideas that could ultimately assist in client development.
• Do not fall prey to The Fear of Feeling Inferior. Consultants humbly invest themselves in helping their clients and are willing to do whatever they need them to do to improve—even if that calls for the consultant to be overlooked.

Beyond the Approach

Our sessions address teamwork and organizational health concerns within the context, challenges and issues that an organization is currently facing. Rather than using theoretical case studies, we discuss real organizational challenges in the course of building a team. In the end, everything we do is focused on building a lasting competitive advantage for our clients.

Clients can expect our Consulting and Training engagements to be:

• Practical – Our services are designed to produce tangible benefits. Nothing we do is overly theoretical or academic.
• Relevant – Every service we offer is customized and grounded in the strategic and tactical realities of our clients' businesses.
• Fast – Because our clients are busy, we work quickly and keep executives engaged and focused on key issues.

Prospective clients can be assured that all of our consultants were selected and trained based on their ability to adhere to these high standards.
