Training for today's organizations needs to be both an employee development tool and reward for today's skilled labor.

Educational facilities such as universities are doing a fine job at making sure individuals have the technical training for specific jobs. Our organization has focused on adding to this education by teaching skills not commonly discussed in a formal class environment.

We are teaching people how to communicate more effectively, and how to foster interpersonal work relationships. Our training helps individuals become involved in personal development and the development of coworkers. We do all this with the focus on team leadership.

The Training Experience

Our training starts with an interactive classroom environment. In this portion we teach practical skills that can be integrated into the workplace to improve team processes and develop team leadership. Through immersion into real life scenarios team members then practice the recently developed skills. During the scenario they will be practicing the skills taught in the class environment. Our scenarios involve the use of safe but exiting off-road machines in a wilderness terrain that will test your new found abilities and help you to rely on your team to finish the task. You will be building your skills as a team in a truly unique, exciting, and memorable way.

Programs

A full program runs three days 8am to approximately 7pm. We encourage teams to break the training up and take one training day a week for three weeks. A one-day program is also available. Continental breakfast, lunch and dinner are included. Programs can be scheduled any weekday Monday through Thursday. We can accommodate small teams approximately 8 or larger groups made up of multiple teams approximately 24 persons. Accommodation for larger teams could be arranged if necessary.

Our full program consists of three days of offsite training and one half-day onsite consult within a month of training to help your team further institute the new found skills into the workplace. Our team development package is designed to help transfer the training to your work place.

Mini program for small companies is designed for organizations where the owner of the company also plays a role as the manager/leader and works directly with staff. In this environment it is important to have proper communication skills and safe open feedback. Small companies can have increased turnover, which can be very expensive. In small companies employees often have larger areas of responsibility in proportion to the organization and can have considerable impact on organizational performance. Creating an environment where employees feel they are safe to express their opinions openly and take ownership of responsibilities can improve moral, create commitment and align employees to organizational vision.

This training is ideal for dental offices, small medical offices, and any small organization that works closely together to provide clients with products or services. Group size of 5 or more is most effective. Some smaller companies could also combine with another small company to increase group size (can be coordinated with our staff).

We at ABI Team Leadership have focused on developing training that has the greatest potential to allow the learner to transfer training knowledge to the workplace. We develop opportunities for individuals to practice their skills in an environment where they can be guided and coached which helps learners to encode this information for better retrieval at a later time. We also promote metacognative processing by encouraging learners to identify goals, generate new ideas, and elaborate on existing ideas while striving for greater understanding of their interpersonal environments.

Organizations that do not take a proactive approach to developing employees can suffer from a myriad of dysfunctional behavior specifically in teams where problems seem to compound. For example, a poor or improper communication environment can lead to a lack of trust and therefore a resistance to share needed information, fear of conflict or improper negotiation and finally a decrease in satisfaction and possibly increased turnover, which can be costly.

Participants

This experience is designed for all participants regardless of physical abilities. Our training incorporates a number of different experiences, as teams are made up of individuals that may not be comfortable engaging in the same activities. Our scenarios are designed with this in mind.

Each participant will leave this experience exhilarated and packed with new and refreshed tools to help them function more effectively within their teams. The experience will not be forgotten and with continued use the new skills will become refined benefiting you in work and life.
