For clients requiring a specific focus, Vernon Cresswelloffers a 40 minute presentation on each of the following topics:
Communication

Through vocal and non-vocal sounds, body language, facial expressions and touch, animals manage to get their messages across surprisingly clearly and effectively. Read more on Effective Communication
Relationships:
The relationships that exist among people are critical to team dynamics. By appreciating the relationships that exist amongst animals, we are better positioned to identify and understand the relationships that are forged within our own teams. Read more on Mutual Relationships
Growing:
It is sometimes all too easy to forget the importance of investing in people. If you want your team to succeed – both today and in the future – it is imperative to make an investment in the people in your team. Nature provides us with enough compelling evidence in this regard. Read more on Growing
Specialising:
Successful teams harness the specialist skills of each individual member – something that compliments the role played by generalists in the team. Nature provides a myriad of examples of the importance of appreciating specialist as well as generalist skills in order to survive. Read more on Successful Teams
“If you want to succeed as a team, you have to dedicate time to interacting, relating, communicating, growing and specialising with those around you.”
