I’d like my leadership team to step up - work better together, challenge each other, hold each other accountable, achieve bigger results.
Team challenges are the main reasons projects fail, deadlines get missed, and opportunities get overlooked. At Padraig we have extensive experience helping teams to work better together and we offer a number of team programs that will help improve relationships and performance. In particular, our amazing workshop series The Five Behaviours of a Cohesive Team based on Patrick Lencioni’s bestselling book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, will completely change the way your leadership team interacts with each other, deepening trust, learning to have constructive conflict, committing to decisions, strengthening accountability and ultimately achieving greater results.

We are about to reorganize or realign functions and we want to provide assistance to leaders and teams as we go through this transition. Can you help us?

Take a look at our very successful Accelerating Success Program to facilitate leadership through the changes.

I want our sales team to improve their success rate. Does Padraig offer any programs that help?
One of the key axioms of sales is “How You Interact with the Customer is More Important Than What You Sell.” Yet even the most experienced sales person may misread the clients’ needs, push too hard with some prospects; or not be purposeful enough with others. It can be a challenge to understand what went wrong in the approach that lost a potential customer. Padraig’s Everything DiSC Sales profile and workshop help you improve success rates. Designed specifically for Sales people, this program helps sales staff know themselves, read their prospects, and most importantly align their personality to their prospect to meet the prospect’s needs.
