Developing High-Performance Teams

Why invest in team development?

The productivity and harmony of teams are highly dependent on having a clear strategy, positive group dynamics, and effective leadership. Without this foundation, teams are often unproductive.

At Elevated Talent and our team building package in Vancouver, we support teams to feel empowered, synchronize efforts, and deliver results. Based on the Gallup strength-based development approach, we train teams to embrace individual talents to enable high-performance within and across teams. Strength-based development delivers exceptional results.

Reza is an extraordinary ICF, PCC Certified Coach, and facilitator, and I recommend him with the highest recommendations for training and facilitation.

Glenn St. Onge, Head of HR, Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation

Reza helped design and implement a rigorous leadership development program at AFCC. The program entailed assessing leaders via Leadership Circle Profile 360 assessment, identifying strengths and development opportunities, creating a detailed development plan, and providing ongoing coaching to help leaders successfully execute the plan. Reza personally coached over 50 employees and leaders in our company. As a result of these initiatives, employee turnover reduced by 50%, and overall leadership effectiveness improved by over 300% over five years, measured by the Leadership Culture Survey. I highly recommend Reza as an executive and leadership development coach without reservation.

Head of HR, Port of Vancouver

Reza was a part of the team who developed and implemented team our team coaching approach for departments to identify thematic goals to support the organizational culture. Once the approach was developed, these are typically short engagements with intact teams, sometimes with a mid-year check-in. I consider Reza to be one of my key thinking partners in the organizational culture work I lead at the port. I particularly appreciate his demeanor which immediately puts clients at ease. Also his ability to draw on his extensive coaching experience within an organization and finally his ability to take people deeper in their reflection using a variety of approaches.
