If you are launching a new product or service to market, it probably feels like the weight of the whole world leaning on your shoulders. The pressure of meeting ambitious milestones with tight deadlines and limited resources gradually takes its toll. And yet, you feel that building the right team is all that's standing between you and business success. That's where this training comes in!
Don't let these infamous challenges get you down:
You feel stretched in 1,000 directions
You get lost in all the business theory
You are paralyzed with indecision
All your good ideas get lost along the way
You end up hiring wrong people for the team
You enter a negative spiral of self-doubt
This team design training program is a series of workshops and practical exercises you can follow to create high-performing teams that will rise to your business challenge.
Whether you start a company or work on getting a new product to market within a larger company, you will follow similar struggles when building high-performing teams. In these trainings, you will learn a practical approach I've fine-tuned during my 10+ years of experience working with corporate innovation, agency, and startup teams.
To innovate, you need to communicate clearly and act decisively. Whether it's a business challenge you set for yourself or one you got entrusted with by a large organization, you are introducing something new into the market. And you are going to need a team to do it. Innovation challenges usually come with urgent time and performance pressures. And not to mention the responsibility of leading a team on your shoulders.
If you are building a team from scratch for the first time, I imagine you feel insecure and in awe of the road ahead.
These trainings will help you cut through the noise to quickly get your team design basics in place, so you can start tackling your business challenge one goal at a time.
You will learn to translate your thoughts into a strategy deck that helps communicate your business ambitions with the team.
You will learn to put your way of working on paper and decide which are the best improvement opportunities.
You will learn a framework that will help you improve team dynamics and individual performance.
This training program is for startup founders and corporate venture builders who are getting ready to scale their business.
It's designed based on my belief that building the right team is the key to business success. I have seen many ideas fail, not because they weren't good, but because they lacked a great team to get things done.
That said, the trainings are also helpful for experienced leaders stepping into an existing team to fix a mismatch between the business challenge and what the team can handle.
It depends on the training you follow. Go to the specific training page to see an estimate of the time you will need to complete the training:
I would say 20% theory and 80% practical exercises.
There are many brilliant books and masterclasses out there on leadership. I love reading theory, but I see many people around me suffer through it. They either find it overwhelming, get stuck applying it, or go into endless overthinking loops.
These trainings are designed to help you quickly transition from theory into practice. Why? Because for most new team leads, the easiest way to digest the theory is through examples, analyzing case studies, and talking about the best practices.
Yes, I will share all the workbook exercises and case studies we cover during the training in a downloadable pdf format.
You'll know the answer to this after the first module. If it's not what you expected, let me know, and I will refund your money. Consider the first module as a free trial.
