Teamwork That Makes the Dream Work

“Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships” – Michael Jordan

Do you like those posters that give you a “little ditty” that’s supposed to inspire Teamwork? Are those posters plastered all over the walls in your building? Do they work?

My job is to make you think about Teamwork a little differently!  Today’s teams are different from teams of the past: they’re more diverse, dispersed, digital and dynamic.  And although they face new hurdles, new projects and intense deadlines – it’s still all about how you work together, who you’re working with and group collaboration and dynamics.

A winning team is when people come together to focus on a project and successfully manage any  challenges while trusting each other, appreciating each other’s skills and abilities, and communicating – communicating- communicating  effectively! 

What’s really tough in Teamwork is managing egos, developing humility, resolving conflicts and, above all, committing  to one another for the common goal.  This can be challenging! Good Teamwork is transformational. A good project and a good team will be life-changing! Good team alignment, growth performance while increasing speed and agility… feels good!

You become more aware of your influence and impact on others when engagement improves and net results bring greater success!

Here are some unique Teamwork  ideas to think differently:

• People, like horses don’t want to be led… they shine when working as a team!
• Like people, when you understand your horse’s priorities – they’ll always go that “extra mile” for you!
• When riding my horse we strive shoulder to shoulder and Teamwork can be summed up in five short words: “We believe in each other”

 This keynote delivers a compelling message that’s fun and impactful.  It demonstrates the importance of the new, enriched environments of collaboration, talent utilization, innovation, understanding, communication and empowerment.
