Teams – Winners and Losers
“Wendy has a natural gift for understanding how people work together and what they need in order to function as a healthy team. Her approach is candid, respectful, and open-minded, which somehow brings out the best in everyone else.”

A winning team has a single, shared agenda.
Characteristics of a Winning Team:
-
Open, trusting, and respectful
-
Passionate, productive, and creative
-
Diverse, collaborative, and accountable
Sound bites from a Losing Team:
-
“It’s my way or the highway!”
-
“You’ll have it when it’s ready!”
-
“You don’t know what you’re talking about!”
-
“This project sucks…”
How I work with teams:
As a facilitator, I hold up a mirror (team assessments, guided discussions, and interactive exercises) so team members can see what they are doing and decide if they want to change. As a trainer, if they want to change, I show them how and then coach them until they get it.
Spontaneity and laughter included at no extra cost.
