I have practical experience of working and setting up teams. I enjoy finding out about how each person can bring their unique skills and talents to a team. I think that often we overlook the crucial stage of getting to know how each other operates and how to get the best out of people.

Cynics may say that they are too busy to do this - busy getting the job done! My experience is that often they are spending a great deal of time recruiting and training new staff because they are not making the best use of the staff they have. Time spent in team building may seem an optional extra but I believe it is time well spent. Teams which are creative, supportive and hard working don't happen just by accident. Staff need to be recognised and nurtured, they also need opportunities to develop and expand their skills and confidence. Sometimes it may be necessary to help someone move on to something more suited to their abilities and experience.

I am delighted to now be able to offer MiRo Behavioural Mode Assessments to Teams. This is an exciting psychometric tool developed by Mike Fisher and Rob Chappell. It helps people to understand self, others and the team dynamic. The tool is administered via an online questionnaire and can be used by individuals incorporated with coaching or as part of team development or team building. Please contact me to discuss how you can use this to develop your skills and understanding of how to get the best from yourself and others.
