True North Executive Development

True North will introduce you to the Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance™ Model, a powerful framework for understanding the essential building blocks of high performance in teams. When combined with the Forreste/Drexler Team Performance™ Indicator, a short, straightforward assessment that points you to the stages of the Model that are unresolved within your team, you'll have a quick way to move from theory to powerful results with your  team.

True North specializes in helping clients find direction in their lives. Whether you are seeking something new, making a transition or coming to the end of a life phase, the True North "Personal Compass" will give you space to review your past, take stock of the present, then imagine and plan for a fulfilling future.
The Personal Compass is a tool to:
- CLARIFY your hopes and dreams
- ASSESS your needs, skills and situation
- SET GOALS to achieve what you desire
- CREATE an action plan to make your dreams come true

True North coaching will help you chart a course toward the life you really want!

True North employs The Grove's signature set of Graphic Guides® templates that integrates strategic-planning practices, such as environmental scanning, SWOT analysis, and strategic and tactical goal development, with organization-change activities and graphic visualization. Collectively, these elements support breakthrough thinking in a group process of reaching common understanding and new levels of commitment.

True North will guide you through the study of the trends in your company's past, take a snap-shot of its current environment and competitors, envision where you want to be in five years and make an action plan of how to get there. These tools use stimulating graphics to tap your group's knowledge and creativity, and help you work collaboratively to achieve your goals.

Getting people to work together effectively is one of the biggest leadership challenges in today's organizations. Leaders have to know how to gain the active participation and committed support of team members who are often involved in other work that competes for their attention. Facilitation is the art of getting people to work together effectively.

Our facilitation and tools are based on best practices we use with task teams, retreats, planning sessions, problem solving, process improvement and even radical change. Everything is integrated with consistent graphic language, intuitive process models and practical examples.
