Rapport breakthrough teams
Purpose:
Create a support system of Rapport Graduates to reinforce Leadership Breakthrough One class processes, deepen learning and continue developing leadership skills gained. Increase team synergy and accountability by aligning any three to five Rapport Graduates for three months (12 week program).
Background:
Training and development is not an event; it’s a process. Upon graduating from Leadership Breakthrough One (or any Rapport Leadership International class), it is essential to surround yourself with other Rapport graduates. Team learning increases the application and integration of Rapport training competencies through collective thinking, power of support, open dialogue, celebration of success, connecting to values, brainstorming ideas and the sharing of goals.
Set Up:
Identify teams of three to five Rapport Leadership graduates to establish your Rapport Breakthrough Team (RBT). Less than three individuals will not create the necessary team synergy, and more than five will begin to minimize individual participation and may be challenging to coordinate time schedules. Teams may be formed from the same department or members of a cross-functional team; they may also be created within your family or community.
Process:
Step 1:
Establish weekly meeting times with your team of three to five members. Create agreements similar to your Leadership Breakthrough One class (i.e. punctuality, full participation, accountability, honest feedback and trust to ensure personal information will remain confidential). Openly discuss everyone’s commitment to the 12 week process.
When possible, establish a common meeting time and location to ensure the Rapport Breakthrough Team (RBT) is scheduled and prioritized on everyone’s calendar.
Step 2:
Begin by printing and reviewing the 12 week schedule from the pdf below, and preparing for week one. Continue to look ahead at upcoming weeks to ensure all RBT members are prepared for the upcoming meeting.
