Description: Great teams don’t just happen; they’re built and led in ways that fire up the participants and unleash their potential. In this practical workshop Dr. J prepares you to assess your team’s “flammability” and to provide the Oxygen, Fuel, or Heat your people need to burn brightly without burning up or burning out. If you’re a leader or simply want to bring out the best in others, this experience will encourage you and equip you to fire them up today!
