Teacher Engagement
Building The Winning Team
Duration: 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes or ½ day
The ‘Building The Winning Team’ workshop is a must for organizations that desire to increase the level of efficiency and productivity among its team members. This workshop is divided into three phases:
Phase I.
Inner Vision will make a comparative analysis between your school and one of the former greatest championship winning teams in the world: The Chicago Bulls. We will analyze the Bulls organizational structure, its strengths and challenges and relate these strengths to your organization.
Phase II.
Phase II is highly interactive. Participants will be exposed to 6 primary characteristics in every organization. Your teachers will be challenged to examine their individual strengths and areas of opportunity. Then they will be motivated to consistently utilize their strengths in order to enhance their team’s performance. In addition to generating much discussion and feedback, participants in phase II will understand that within the confines of a team, the individual’s goals should never precede the organization’s goals.
Phase III.
Phase III is very hands on. Through a fun and thought provoking activity, participants will see how different personalities may clash and how to harness the strengths of each.
Phase III is designed to expose participants to various strategies and solutions that will increase productivity within their work environments. In addition, teachers will be motivated to better understand how their performance and attitudes affects student achievement.
Upon completion of this workshop, teachers will have a greater understanding of the strengths and challenges facing their school. As a result of this highly interactive workshop, teachers will be empowered to motivate their team members towards increased productivity, overall workplace morale, and improvements in overall school morale.

SYNOPSIS
“Our Jobs May Be Killing Us!” was the caption in an article by USA Today. We are living in a time where the pressures of our daily lives (career, family, friends, and social and civic responsibilities) are becoming increasingly overwhelming. Often times we become so busy that we lose sight of ourselves and get caught up in the mundane necessities of life. As a result, our job performance is often affected.
This workshop has been carefully designed for your employees to regain their joy for life! Participants in this workshop will gain a better understanding of the stress factors in their lives and more importantly how to manage them more efficiently. Participants will understand the impact that stress at home has on their ability to succeed on the job. Although we will never be able to rid our lives completely of stress, this workshop will allow us to manage stress so that we can live a more fulfilling life, thus becoming more effective in the workplace.
