90 days AFTER returning to their teams following the October 2008 intensive, I asked participants “How likely is it for you to recommend a friend or colleague to Knowledge Team Leadership?” On a scale of 1 to 10 participants rated it 9.44.

“What would you tell them?”

They said:

- “This class has great content and great presentation. I’ve used the material over and over since the class and it has had a meaningful impact in how I approach team dynamics”

- “The course offers valuable insights into the concept of teamwork and shared responsibility and gives one valuable tools to achieve success in these areas”

- “Lots of good ideas and challenging thoughts condensed into a short time investment”

- “This course focuses on what the individual can do to help create responsible teams. Many other courses concentrate on how to get others to do things. This course recognizes the importance of changing your behavior. Everything in this course can be used throughout your life – work or at home. It can also be a great tools for your kids.”

2009 sessions scheduled already in San Antonio, London, Dallas, Santa Clara, and New York city. Check out the dates.

If you are considering attending, I urge you to claim your spot now. Don’t wait another day.

Yesterday afternoon I drove into San Antonio to check out the venue for the March 4-5, 2009 Knowledge Team Leadership intensive and then to the Alamo PMI (Project Management Institute) chapter meeting as the evening’s guest presenter.

It was a packed house with 209 chapter members in attendance. Chapter President Peter Hottenstein said it blew away reservations and attendance records. That’s great.

How to Build any Team Any Time

I spoke for about an hour and hung around after to chat with a number of friends in the audience. It was fun to mingle with some program managers from USAA which yesterday had announced a whopping $500million return to policy holders and a 13.5% bonus to employees due to operating success in 2008.

I promised to post my presentation slides. I had also hoped to post an MP3 of my talk but I didn’t get it captured. Apologies for that.

Comments in my email this morning

We met at the PMI meeting tonight. I really enjoyed your presentation and plan to put your ideas into practice immediately.

I really enjoyed your presentation at the Alamo PMI membership meeting.  I believe the concepts you taught are going to help me break through the plateau I’ve been sitting on for the past several years.  I’m looking forward to beginning my day with new ideas and practical exercises I can apply to myself to build teamwork

Chris, I saw you last night at the Alamo PMI event. The subject matter was really thought provoking and valuable. I look forward to getting the information from your site and applying it in my new job and personal relationships.

Thanks Alamo PMI
