LIMITED PLACES LEFT FOR GAMAA WORKSHOP – BOOK NOW

Building High Performing Teams  

3 – 5 May 2007 Melbourne

Places are filling fast for the first GAMAA 3 day residential workshop of the year; Building High Performance Teams.  The workshop content focuses on team work and has been created in direct response to research GAMAA conducted within the industry in relation to its leadership strengths and weaknesses.

Sam Crock, Education Manager, GAMAA: “We identified through our research that ‘collaboration’ was a particularly weak area for most of our emerging talent.  Therefore the workshop ‘Building High Performing Teams’ was created to address specific issues facing people every day whether leading a team, building a short term project team or inheriting an existing team.”

GAMAA has engaged two authorities on the topic of team building, John Urbano and Colin Beatie.  In the past decade Urbano has built a highly successful consultancy around coaching executive teams to high performance. Formerly the Director of Executive Education at the Australian Graduate School of Management, Urbano specialises in personal transformation and in the dual task of high performance team coaching while meeting business outcomes. He has a reputation for fearlessly pushing executive teams beyond their comfort zone and securing sustainable change.

Beatie is an experienced coach and facilitator. He typically adopts an action learning approach – a process whereby people learn from experience and experimentation in the workplace. He has helped leaders address key leadership issues including performance issues, resolving conflict, motivating teams and influencing stakeholders and is experienced in working with leadership teams as they aim to achieve sustainable outcomes.

The May workshop will contain a range of approaches to team work. Crock says “what we present is not your average run of the mill team work seminars.  One of GAMAA’s strengths is offering innovative approaches to learning.  This workshop will include an Andrew Denton style panel discussion, an artistic approach to listening to other people’s needs, and a rigorous presentation around having the courage to speak and time to reflect on how to implement this in your workplace.”

“Participants in GAMAA workshops don’t just sit and listen.  Our programme is highly participative and you will want to put it into action once you get back to work on Monday morning,” she concluded.

The GAMAA Workshop programme is open to all working in the graphics and printing industries.  Please visit the GAMAA website at www.gamaa.net.au for further information or to book email enquire@gamaa.net.au
