TEAM PROCESS COACHING

The following Team Interventions taken together comprise FSTD's Team Process Coaching.  Depending upon your needs and resources, we custom design a team development process (using any one, or combination, of these interventions) to reach your goals.

  CLIENT TESTIMONIAL "When we began our initial assessment of the state of things in our office, we had some major hurdles to overcome. Trust levels were low, and communication problems and personal conflicts were getting in the way of our delivering services as effectively and efficiently as we need to. I am happy to report that things are very different in our office now, and I can only attribute it to the skill that you exercised in working with our group over the last year. Your one-on-one coaching of our supervisors, the team-building retreats, and the conflict resolution training were very successful. I was skeptical at first, but the results speak for themselves."
