Creating An Environment of Trust, Support and Teamwork In Your Business
By Glenn Ebersole 

One cannot hear or read about any success story without a reference to teamwork, trust and support. I believe that teamwork, trust and support are paramount to every business success. And I also know that most business owners and managers agree that they are still struggling to achieve a respectable level of trust, support and teamwork in their businesses.

Our business and personal lives are full of challenges and we have become more and more dependent upon a long list of people to help us function effectively and efficiently. And oh how frustrated we become when these people that we depend upon do not “keep their word.” On a personal note, this is one of my pet peeves. In assessments I have taken, “not keeping their word” shows up as something you do not want to do with me. The report from the assessments states that the one thing you do not want to do with Glenn is to tell him you are going to do something and then not do it. So this is a real hot button with me.

Well, what is to be done about this? In my consulting practice, I plan and facilitate retreats and off-site meetings where I work with my clients on the elements of teamwork, building trust and support among team members. I listen to what the issues and dysfunctions of the team are and then research and develop exercises to work on the issues and dysfunctions. And I also research what other coaches do to create trust, support and teamwork.

I am very pleased to tell you that my research of other coaches’ work produced a real find that I want to share with you. I had the pleasure to communicate with Mark Rosenberger, Performance Strategist and Certified Speaking Professional. His website is www.wowcoaching.com. Mark is the author of “The Trapeze Buddy Success Strategy: A New Way to Create Trust Support and Teamwork in Your Business (ISBN 0-9656567-1-3). An email address is: info@www.wowcoaching.com.

Mark created his book so we can discover – through a simple metaphor – Trapeze Buddies ™ - how to be caught more and dropped less by people we count on most. I promised Mark I would do 3 things: read his book, post a review of his book and tell others about his book. I have read the book, and have prepared and posted a review on Amazon.com and I am telling all of you about his book.

I highly recommend that you read this book so that you can remove what Mark refer to as the “SPLAT!” sound (from being dropped by those people you count on most) in your work/personal life.
