“Creating a Culture of Coaching for a High Performance Team”
When teams thrive, they elevate everyone to a level they didn’t know was possible. When teams struggle, they create dynamics and challenges that limit performance.
What does it take for a team to excel? How do you create a culture of excellence? How do you build a high-performing team?
NAIA National Coach of the Year Ivan Joseph cracked the code. He led a tiny college in Iowa to win a national soccer championship. He led a marginal university athletic program to national prominence. And that’s why he’s invited to speak on stages around the world.
Sharing funny and moving stories, and research-based insights, Ivan inspires leaders and teams to achieve even their toughest goals. In this fast-paced, interactive session, leaders gain insights and techniques to:
- Articulate common values and a shared sense of purpose.
• Create team cohesion, the foundation of elite team performance.
• Set higher expectations to achieve new levels of performance.
Self-confidence, cohesion, and expectations drive team performance. Ivan’s approach works: Leaders and teams see an immediate impact. It’s time to amplify your team’s performance.
