TEAMWORK KEYNOTE SPEAKER

TOPIC DESCRIPTION

Teams are one of the most valuable assets a business can have. An effective team can boost productivity, enable better problem solving and enhance the growth of not only its company but its members. However, building an effective team can be challenging. It requires trust, open communication and a group of diverse and humble thinkers. Prone to conflict and discord, teams can often become complacent and lack the proverbial umph it takes to get things done, leaving everyone discouraged.

And ironically, the very thing that gives teams their potential—people’s different ways of thinking and working—is also the source of that conflict and discord.

This inspiring and high-impact keynote provides a science-backed framework to transform any average (or below average) team into your company’s greatest asset. Pulling from his #1 best selling book Dream Teams and his experience building groundbreaking businesses, Shane lays out counter-intuitive, rigorously-tested strategies of high-performing teams, and gives you the tools to conquer the major pitfalls most teams encounter.

With proven approaches to increase trust, leverage difference, supercharge problem-solving, and make conflict productive, the audience will walk away ready to create courageous and effective teams.
