The lapdog Advantage
There are countless team and leadership development firms that boast the ability to boost morale or make your team more efficient. So how do you find the firm that will deliver concrete results instead of just empty promises? We encourage you to ask how a team building or leadership development firm adapts their programs to your unique situation. If the answer is they don’t, ask yourself how effective can the program be.
At lapdog, we believe there is no one size fits all answers to team building and team development. That’s why each of our programs begins with an evaluation to define your areas of need. We use an in-depth phone or in-person interview to determine not only what you see as your needs, but ask probing questions to determine any underlying needs. This allows us to then craft a program aimed at fulfilling your specific needs.
In some instances we may determine a more thorough PROFILE OR ASSESSMENT may be needed to truly get an understanding of what issues require attention in order for your team to operate more efficiently. In these cases, we will help you select which of our comprehensive products are most appropriate for your situation.
When you’re ready to bring your team together to operate more efficiently, contact the leadership development firm that tailors its programs to you – lapdog, inc.
Our group facilitators are what distinguish us from the competition, and they can do the same for you. We ensure this by carefully choosing a group facilitator with your company, program, and end goals in mind. Experience the lapdog difference for yourself. IDENTIFY. REFINE. SUCCEED.
