Team building workshop
“I have on several occasions had the great pleasure to utilize Pia as speaker and facilitator in Cultural Intelligence workshops, in various management teams. The cultural dimension of making teams work together is of paramount importance in the international context of our business. Pia always does a great job to open up our eyes to things, behaviors and habits we see every day but may not fully understand. In ourselves as well as in our colleagues and business partners. In less mature teams, as well as in teams with senior managers with lots of international experience; the feedback has always been that we learned and reflected a lot. A day with Pia is always a well invested day!”
Meeting Sense
“This gem of a book clearly identifies the essential qualities of a good meeting. It gives sound practical advice on how to pin point problems. From this sound starting point the authors lead us through a process of how to improve, and structure, meetings so that all involved feel satisfied. In our organisation we use the meeting levels to help manage expectations which is having a profound effect on improving the quality of our meetings.”
”Working in a global environment is a challenge and I have learned that the way meetings are done differs a lot based on culture and management style. Not knowing the purpose of a meeting and what is expected from you as a participant brings frustration and often results in people not contributing as expected.
The Meeting Sense book clearly captures this problem and provides a model to be used as reference and the illustrated examples can be used as basis for a dialogue in your organization. In addition you get many hands-on tips and tricks to be used instantly.”
