Solid teamwork leverages individual strengths to make the group stronger and more successful. Yet too often, people say there is no “I” in Team. Wouldn’t it be great if members learned the value they offer so they knew how to contribute their best to the organization? This lively, interactive program encourages group dialogue and a gap analysis process to identify new practices. Participants will learn how to self-identify their preferred roles and put them to good use in any kind of group environment. Ultimately, their insights will create better interaction among team members leading to better outcomes for the entire organization.
By the end of this program, participants will have learned:
- Five unique roles people naturally leverage in a team environment
- The CARLA Concept™ to create better communication and improve problem solving
- How to support versus undermine other team members
- The Start/Stop/Continue Method for gap analysis
- How to gain valuable insights into your work habits
- Why having an equally balanced team is not always the best goal

“Very well planned and executed! Learned so much about others and excited to move forward with TEAM! A lot of items were covered, but I think it would have been great to spend a few hours on communicating vision to broader organization —> brainstorm session. Yes, I’d recommend the Team Profile to others. The info was highly accurate and accompanying guidance documents are great resources. Laura is truly one of a kind! Knowledgeable, gracious and effective facilitator!” —Zaffer Syed, former Director, Clinical and Regulatory Affairs
“Personally, the individual profiles and a better understanding of colleagues helped me. Professionally, being able to communicate things that I previously wasn’t able to because of lack of platform. Wish we’d had more time for Next Steps and Future Planning. The Team Profile was spot on! I’d recommend it to others by saying Laura did a fantastic job of explaining how to benefit from knowing each others priorities. Laura is excellent overall, but especially in keeping us on track and pushing us on ideas that were mentioned.! —Kristin Taylor, Senior Account Executive, Carbonara Group

“I thought it was great. The content was well developed and Laura did a wonderful job facilitating the meeting. Wish we’d had more time for learning to work more effectively with the varying types of personalities. Yes, I have benefitted personally and professionally through the Team Dimensions Evaluation – it enables me to work more effectively with others. I think the profile is very effective in learning where our team has strengths and weaknesses. I would recommend others use it to their advantage in identifying strong and weak links. —Kris Kelly, Former Director, Marketing
