High Performance Team Building Sessions
Half-day and full-day facilitated team building sessions are available through PT Consulting Partners. Typically sessions are either conducted at the client's work site or premises that the client rents at a nearby facility. Minimum space requirements for a team of 25 or fewer participants are 20' x 50'. Clients may choose to hold two half-day team building sessions on the same day or may elect to have a single whole day session.
Team building sessions are appropriate and effective for teams at all levels, from executive teams to back-office and plant floor teams. Team building sessions can set the stage for kicking off a new team or fire up an old one.
All team building sessions are highly interactive and are based on experiential learning principles. That is, participants learn by doing and by discussing what they have learned. Sessions are fast-paced, fun, and intense. All exercises are handled as "low initiatives" that is, the exercises are designed to be safely conducted close to the earth. Both full-day and half-day sessions include solid grounding in High Performance Team principles, essential elements, norms and relationship styles. Full-day sessions spend additional time exploring and resolving issues that are hindering that specific team's ability to perform at a high level of performance. Full-day session attendees leave the training with a clear understanding of the issues and barriers that are unique to their team as well as action plans for resolving and eliminating the major issues and barriers.
A typical engagement would involve facilitation of either two identical half-day sessions or one-full day session. Teams of up to twenty-five would be trained per session. When the situation requires additional teams to be trained, additional days will be required. Pricing is based on the assumption of one to five days of team building sessions per visit. Client's are billed $1,500 per day. A typical facilitation of two half-day's (up to 50 team members) or one whole day (up to 25 team members) will run $1,000 plus travel related expenses.
References and typical agendas are available by request. Recent clients include: Deloitte-Touche, Princeton; Atlas Van Lines, Evansville, In; Verizon Directory Services, Dallas; Sapient, Boston.
I also offer a two to three day program to train one to five trainers to deliver High Performance Team building sessions. This program provides a complete set of training materials, facilitation notes, and presentation coaching. Pricing depends on format (amount of coaching desired, location of training, and whether the coaching is combined with live team building sessions) and typically costs between $2,000 and $4,000 plus travel.

Meeting
Facilitation
Increasingly clients are interested in combining High Performance Team building together with meetings where teams work together to plan for the future. I have the experience and ability to plan and facilitate this type of meeting. Injecting high performance team concepts, exercises, and events at off-site meetings targeted at gaining team commitment to action plans and results produces highly focused and dedicated team members.
Advance planning involves clarifying goals, developing and reviewing meeting objectives and agenda items, and logistical arrangements. Typically I work with the executive or team leader to develop the meeting plan. My charges for meeting facilitation services run $1,000 for one day and $2,000 for two day meetings plus travel. These charges include all advance work and travel time International clients (except Mexico and Canada) please add $1,000 US for set-up and travel time..
