Led by Bea Fields and Tom Heck, Founder of Teach Me Teamwork

We are living in one of the most radical times in the history of business, and radical times call for radical leadership. Teams are now living in the “hot zone”, that place in business where risk, fear, doubt, pressure, uncertainty and change can get the best of the most savvy leaders. During this special podcast, Bea Fields talks with Tom Heck of Teach Me Teamwork about the critical strategies teams of today need in order to not just survive but thrive in the business world.

And…while you are reading about Tom, be sure to download a copy of his great e-book: Team Activities on a Shoestring (is great…I have a copy, and all you need to run the games in the e-book is a shoestring!)

And…for those of you who do come to the call, Tom will be giving each of you access to the audio TeleSeminar entitled “Unleash Your Ears — Listening to discern what’s really going on with a team .”

The audio includes 8 key things to listen for when working with groups (or individuals). They are subtle and yet powerful. When you listen for them you will begin to be a much more effective leader and facilitator of teams. Here’s the first 2 things to listen for when working with teams:

Number 1: Genuineness and Accuracy

A Teamwork Coach listens for tone, word phrases and timing.

Does the team (or team member) mean what they are saying? Who is really talking? The past? Needs? Fear?

Number 2: Desires and True Wants

A Teamwork Coach listens for what the person (team) is focused on and ready for.

Do they know what they really want? Are they ready to receive what they really want?

So…join us on Wednesday, July 23 from 1-2 p.m. for this fabulous hour with Tom Heck.
