Have you ever hired someone who you thought would be great, but 3-6 months down the road, you realized things that you wished you'd seen back when you were hiring? Have you worked with someone who sometimes rubs people the wrong way, and makes their lives miserable? Has your organization identified who will be its future leaders, the skills they need to develop to be successful in their future roles, and are implementing a plan to bring this about? These are a few of the many people issues we help organizations with. SALES DEVELOPMENT: We help sales organizations:--hone their sales strategy. For your strategy, what behaviors do you need from your sales force to execute? --Assess how well your sales staff executes these behaviors? --Provide tailored workshops and coaching for sales professionals and sales managers that teach 1 on 1 skills, provide insight into how a salesperson comes across (which, many find, is quite eye-opening), and skill practice on how they can be more effective. --Make headway on a challenging situation they bring in where they've had trouble advancing the sale. They get coached on it, and report 85% success in making significant progress on this when back on the job!STEM: Another niche we do a lot of work in is STEM--Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math Professionals, and those who work with and manage them. We have worked in situations where these professionals have great technical skills and are brilliant. But they don't have the greatest people skills. And when they have to work together, they don't communicate well, don't handle conflict very productively, etc. The result can be missed deadlines, diminished quality because 2 people are mad at each other and aren't communicating, etc. Managing people like this can be very challenging. We teach skills to help technical professionals work together more productively, and skills for their bosses to forge stronger relations and more productivity with them.

Enteam teaches its innovative, cooperative learning activities to teachers to help them better engage students. The goal is improved classroom behavior and more learning. Enteam also does programs that bring together diverse groups to share a common experience to be able to understand each other better. Enteam does this regularly, for instance, with Christian, Jewish, and Muslim schools. The Enteam activities not only help the students to feel more comfortable with each other, but the parents as well! I currently lead Enteam's sales/marketing committee. enteam.org

Abra-Kid-Abra brings out the star in kids. We provide St. Louis magicians and variety performers. Our shows feature lots of comedy and make the kids feel like stars. We also develop kids' presentation skills in front of a group and confidence through teaching magic and variety arts in after school classes and summer camps.In our early days, my mother would drive me around to perform at kids birthday parties on the weekend when I was 12 years old. I performed and taught magic through high school, college, and after college. We did a lot of work for Famous Barr, a division of May Department Stores, back then at their Breakfasts with Santa, grand openings, and special events. Today Abra-Kid-Abra has its own party center in Webster, combining magic and inflatables into one super fun party! We also perform shows for schools, libraries, child care centers, festivals, and companies throughout the midwest.
