Group Harmonics Seminars

Customized, but Standardized You want a customized program, but you want it to start soon and get done fast.  We use a unique system of interrelated modular sessions.  Each session's design is based upon research and proven standardized models; its delivery incorporates elements specific to your unique group.  Modules stand alone to create increased output and decreased stress in the new information age workplace, or integrate perfectly in any combination for a broader, more customized program. And trainer certification options allow you to handle deployment in-house if you prefer.

NEW: Make Work Great Based on the award-winning book. More output, less stress, and better culture - in a day or over time.

It's All Up to You Contact us with your desired outcomes and constraints, and we will help you put together a package that will get your group functioning at a higher level. If you have a short period of time and/or a very large group, consider a speaking engagement.

How and Why Based on the award-winning book. Combine Behavior and Motivation for the ultimate team & influencing tools.

Modular Session Descriptions

Make Work Great
Based on Ed Muzio's award-winning book
(8-24 hours, live or via multiple remote modules)
Culture is a set of precedents, learned in the past and practiced in the present. To get more output with less stress, you need a culture that helps workers at all levels focus upon their output in productive, positive, energizing ways. This doesn't mean a wholesale change to existing culture, it just means adding a few simple practices - practices that take just a few minutes a day today, and become cultural precedents tomorrow.  Any group, any individual, at any level, can be the one to start.
