Description
The Square Wheels Toolkit and Online Training Course is a self-contained, ready-to-go solution, created specifically for busy team leaders, managers & supervisors.
If you have ever struggled to engage your team in constructive, positive discussions about their work then you will benefit from using the Square Wheels Toolkit in your next team meeting, workshop or group discussion.
Square Wheels is simple to use, and while the ideas and results it can generate are virtually limitless, your opportunity to introduce the material correctly and quickly engage your team is not. Getting things right the first time is a must.
The success and progress of your team is something we take seriously, and that is why we have created this course to make sure you start off on the right foot. By learning the key elements and techniques we have used to run Square Wheels sessions with businesses from around the world, you will have your team focussed, engaged and contributing to whatever topic you wish to tackle!
If you're tired of hearing only yourself talking in meetings, or you are sick of having to answer your own questions all the time, then join the thousands of other team leaders, managers and supervisors using the Square Wheels metaphor to help teams shift their thinking, create new ideas and communicate more effectively.

“It’s always fascinating to watch how one idea spurs another and listening to groups share their "a-ha" moments together. The Square Wheels Toolkit is such an effective tool to get people talking and thinking.” ...JEAN MARRAPODI, NEW ENGLAND COLLEGE OF BUSINESS

As Managing Partner of Performance Management Company since 1984, it's been great fun creating organizational development tools that help people focus on optimizing involvement, engagement and collaboration. I hold a doctorate in behavioral neurophysiology, have been consulting since 1978 and am a Certified Professional Facilitator by the IAF and a Certified Professional Trainer (IAPPD) with 30+ years of presenting experiences.
These Square Wheels cartoons are recognized globally as powerful tools for engagement and communications, since they are so easy to use. PMC's products support a global network of consultants and trainers doing employee engagement and organizational development activities to impact performance results. With our new Square Wheels Project, we are now going straight to the people who can benefit most from these metaphors and facilitated discussion.
If you would benefit by having some outstanding organizational development, facilitation or employee engagement tools, contact me. I can provide ideas and resources. Much of my approach is wrapped around my Square Wheels® illustrations, all stemming from Square Wheels One--a wagon rolling on Square Wheels with a cargo of round rubber tires. It is a fun way to look at how organizations really work!
