NRGize Teams™

Our TeamNRG™ model is based on 20+ years of leading, participating in and consulting to teams. Our programs get teams to the next level of Performance. We bridge the “virtual divide” by connecting people and creating global business understanding.

Our services include:

• Team Building Assessment
• Team Building Retreats
• Virtual Teams
• On the Job Team Development
• TeamNRG Check-Up™

We start all Team Building with a tailored evaluation of Team Maturity and Change Readiness. This is done through a combination of interviews and the proprietary diagnostic tool, eepulse. These results inform Team Leaders about team strengths and weaknesses and provides specific, actionable data on how to improve performance.

Based on the team assessment, we suggest a variety of possible team building events.

Our Team Building Retreats are tailored to meet your business needs. They run the gamut from strategic business topics, to tactical and operational tuning, to a fun day away, and everything in between. We use only highly interactive, engaging activities to maximize results, learning, and fun. Some of the innovative tools we use include:

• Team Building Simulations and Games
• Team Reality Video Booths
• Employee Created Films and Documentaries
• Virtual Team Building
• Indoor and Outdoor Team Building Experiences
• Team Song Writing

Our clients tell us that the TeamNRG Team Building Process has helped them:

• Create and update their vision, mission, and goals
• Define team roles & responsibilities
• Build team morale

• Strengthen team relationships
• Energize the team for 3 to 6 months and beyond
• Reduce conflict

Virtual Teams create a unique challenge for leaders. Issues for leaders include the 'out of sight, out of mind' factor; cross cultural communication; and using technology effectively. Our consulting and training programs address these challenges.

Some of our services in this area include:

• Web-Based Experiential Virtual Team Building
• Experiential Training Programs: Leading from a Distance; Communicating Virtually; & Technology for Leaders of Remote Teams
• Coaching Virtual Team Leaders by sitting in on virtual meetings

By being with your team at work, during meetings, on the job, we can bring them quickly to the next level of performance.

Some of the areas we work on include:

• Clarifying & confirming common goals across units
• Discussing and clarifying the leadership philosophy and approach
• Creating, confirming, and enforcing team “rules of engagement”
• Helping the team mitigate organizational communication issues
• Assisting the team to mitigate specific business based stressful situations
• Sharing internal "best practices"

The process includes having one of our senior consultants sit in on team meetings to:

• Observe the team in action
• Provide input on the process of communication at the meeting
• Provide coaching to managers. This is both on-the spot and/or post-meeting feedback based on the individual manager’s preference
• Provide on-the-spot coaching for improved team performance
• Create the space for peers to coach each other
• Teach skills appropriate to the learning needs of the team

Like getting a check up at the doctor's office, some team leaders want a quick assessment and diagnosis of what issues are keeping their teams from improving performance. In these situations, we assist leaders by providing a TeamNRG Check Up™. This includes:

• People NRG phone consultation with team leader to explain current situation.
• Conducting an eepulse survey
• Within 3 days, receive a detailed debrief for team leader on team strengths and areas needing improvement, including a comprehensive written report with specific recommendations on how to improve team performance
• The phone based ‘debrief’ includes specific recommendations on how to improve team performance
• Optional: Many team leaders repeat the TeamNRG Check-up over 3 months. This way they can track performance improvement as they implement change and link it to team performance
