In our organizations and communities, it is expected that we will collaborate as we pursue our work.   It is such a common expectation that we just assume that it will happen.  Effective collaboration takes a shared commitment to a mutual purpose and mutually beneficial outcome.  It must be built and nurtured as an essential element of the work.  In this seminar we:

• identify key challenges to effective teaming,
• explore a framework for creating shared expectations as a group, and
• focus on the core function of a team, shared learning.

This class is designed for individuals or groups that are looking to improve teaming. IEP Teams, Leadership Teams, Task Forces, etc.
