And Delivered Above and Beyond

This course will equip you and your team with a framework, to continue to establish expectations, monitor performance against those expectations, celebrate when things are achieved and then look for continued growth as a team. The course also focuses on improving team communication, empathy and vulnerability, to create a stronger, closer-knit team unit. The outcome of the course is a practical framework, for continued use in your team and any other business you lead.

Successful Companies

Use the Fly in Formation Framework

What does it look like when your team is flying in formation

We've worked with a variety of companies to transform their culture and redefine their operating and people management procedures. With clear objectives, strong communication and accountability structures these companies have revolutionised the way they work and ultimately their team and company performance

  • From confused and unmotivated to clear, realstic accountability structures

  • From sporadic unstructured performance meetings to meetings with a clear purpose and rhythm focused on capability improvement

  • From inconsistent company performance and unclear goals to strategic, measurable objectives your whole team is motivated by

  • From discontent, demotivated employees to a tight knit team with a habit of open, honest communication

Hi, I'm Sam

And I've been there

A struggling manager, but exceptional performer, leading a team of managers, in a small business of 70. I was tired, negative, unsure of how to structure my team performance and fed up. I was convinced it shouldn't be this difficult. So I got to work. Through Masters study in both Business, Coaching and Behavioural Change, Fly-in-Formation was born. I describe myself as a people-geek - I am passionate about the interaction, about why people do what they do and how we make lasting positive change.
