Cracking the Code on Teamwork: Unleash Your Team’s Ultimate Competitive Advantage
The way we “team” is more complex than ever before. Whether we are collaborating in person, through screens, or a little of both, building a successful team can feel downright impossible. But what if it doesn’t have to feel that way?
The 5 Behaviors of a Cohesive Team can help turn things around. Based on Patrick Lencioni’s The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, this program is perfect for teams dealing with dysfunction and looking to improve trust, resolve conflicts, and get better results together. If your team isn’t working as smoothly as it should, this is the solution you need.
Lead (Yourself) With Confidence: Master Your Mindset
Master your mindset by understanding that you may not be able to control your first thought. But you CAN control the thoughts that follow, and the actions that you take from there.
All it takes is the initial and intentional decision to Choose the life you want to lead.
Leadership isn’t just about having the right answers or expertise in your field—it’s about mastering your mindset.
This session will explore how to lead effectively, even when you don’t have all the answers. You’ll learn practical strategies to shift your focus from what you can’t control to what you can, ensuring that you lead by example by leading with purpose, resilience and confidence.
Mastering Team Productivity and Connection: Transform Conflict and Build a Cohesive Team
What Makes Working Genius Different?
First, it’s simplicity. The Working Genius model distills any kind of work down to six fundamental activities. And in relatively short order, helps people identify the type of work that makes them thrive.
Second, Working Genius is the only tool of its kind that is actually applied to work. Most personality instruments help people better understand how they are wired, but they fail to explain how that fits together with others in the process of work. Working Genius solves this problem. Not only do individuals walk away with a greater understanding of the type of work that makes them thrive, but Working Genius provides teams with a better way to think about their dynamics, projects, meetings, and even their hiring.
Simply put, Working Genius is part personality assessment and part productivity tool for teams. And it is the simplest and fastest way to discover your gifts and transform your life.
Better Communication and Connection with DISC
What if you could tap into your greatest motivations and dramatically improve your relationships and accelerate your results?
Your individual personality affects every aspect of your life. That’s why one of the best things you can do to grow yourself and others is to understand your personality and what naturally drives you. When you recognize your strengths and weaknesses, you can give your best as you work with people around you.
The Leadership Game
Let’s close gaps in your team communications, discuss blind spots, and identify areas where the team would like to improve, involve and engage.
Did I mention that it's a game?? It is fun, interactive and challenges teams to discuss their personal values and leadership principles.
Testimonials
Desiree consistently exceeded expectations! I attended two distinct training sessions that Desiree led with completely different groups. Both sessions were thoughtfully tailored to the unique needs of the participants, sparking insightful observations and meaningful discussions. Her deep understanding of training methodologies, combined with her use of engaging tools, ensures that her sessions resonate on a practical and personal level.
What truly sets Desiree apart is her approachable demeanor and exceptional ability to connect with her audience. I’m already looking forward to bringing her expertise into my company for organizational development work and leadership training. - Wolf River Electric
Desiree's ability to keep the attention of a group of PK-12 educators and leaders was astounding! She has so much passion to help educators and leaders During her keynotes she gave intentional and practical ideas for ways to grow us both personally and professionally. Her message is very timely for what educators are experiencing in their learning communities at this time. I would highly recommend working personally or with a team with her…you will truly be better through her work. -Southwest West Central Cooperative
We hired Desiree to create an interactive "kick-off" to an ongoing training program that engages our managers and supervisors. Desiree did an outstanding job from the planning of the workshop to the execution! She was able to personalize the workshop to the work we do across all of our programs while providing opportunities for self-reflection and actionable take-aways. She received rave reviews from our managers/supervisors and they are excited to have her back for additional training opportunities. - United Community Action Partnership
Desiree is a paragon of leadership excellence. She is a leader's leader and is always fully present and in the moment. Desiree can facilitate an off-site just as quickly as she work a room with over 100+ people. I recommend her to help your team rediscover their strengths; to become unstuck, or to unfreeze your team before major organizational change. Also, If you need to reset due to a change of leadership or want your audience to discover and leverage their strengths, she is perfect for that as well. - South Central College
Highly recommend Desiree for leadership training! She does her homework and knows her stuff! Desiree is an easy person to listen to. I received lots of great feedback from my team members regarding the things they learned from Desiree. If you want help inspiring future leaders and encouraging all to be leaders in their current capacity, consider having Desiree speak to your group!! - PHASE Industries
