Building Your Dream Team
You hire remote team members daily and you want them to hit the ground running. They are smart, talented, and hungry. But, do your remote team members know how to contribute on day one? Do they know enough people, intimately, in your company so they feel like they have a cadre of like-minded, excited talent?
To hit the ground running requires the right mindset, taking the right actions, and having the right conversations. To be successful requires team emotional intelligence.This program provides three benefits for your organization:
1. Your new talent will get the tools and practice how to succeed as a remote team.
2. Your talent will build deep and meaningful relationships early into their career at your company
3. You will have new talent that contributes to your success on day one!
This program shifts the responsibility for creating your teams success from the team leader into the new members of your team.
Through this program, your remote team members will make profound connections to new team members across the disparate departments at your company, understand that they have the power to speak up to identify and solve problems they see, and transform the results of their team and company.
If you want your new team members to hit the ground running, to become insanely productive in their remote role, and build an emotionally intelligent team, then they need to take Excel as a Remote Team Member.

REMOTE WORK PROBLEMS
LAK OF MEANINGFUL CONNECTION
Disconnection is a remote companies #1 problem.
It’s harder get the opportunity to build the types of meaningful relationships we used to be able to build in the office.
A lack of meaningful connections means a lack of engagement, and a potential risk for turnover.
Meaningful connection is the number one predictor of success on your remote team.
LACK OF TEAM VISION
Everyone has their own idea of how their remote team should operate.
Because of this, we allow team members time to reflect with each other on what their experiences were like in the past, and identify the positive experience they want on their remote team moving forward.
MICROMANAGMENT AND LACK OF EMPOWERMENT
Remote team leaders are often “stuck in the weeds.”
Remote Team members need to be comfortable enough to speak up to solve problems. Empower them to reach out, share their ideas, to support each other across the team and across departments.
This frees up your remote leaders to spend less time “fighting fires” and lead into leading.
What Remote Companies Want:
Like you, we were frustrated by the discombobulation we experienced during the beginnings of remote work (which for us, was way before the pandemic).
We wanted remote team members to leave the bad habits (or at worst, the trauma) from their old teams and companies behind and build new paradigms on how work on a remote team is supposed to be. We want to shift the power from the hands of leaders into the hands of teams and we wanted to create a program that bridged the gap between remote workers that truly connected them to each other and to the company so that they could be excited to play full out.
There’s a Chance You Envisioned Your Remote Team Members to:
BE FULLY THEMSELVES WITHOUT JUDGEMENT
HAVE TEAMMATES WHO HAVE EACHOTHERS BACKS AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER WHEN SOMEONE IS DOWN
HAVE TIME PASS BY WHERE WHAT YOUR TEAM IS DOING DOESN’T FEEL LIKE WORK
HAVE YOUR TEAMMATES AS YOUR GREATEST CHEERLEADERS
THIS is an Inspired Team
The Reality:
Unfortunately, most of the experiences we had in the corporate world were nowhere near as engaging and energizing.
We see so much suffering in organizations and it doesn’t have to be that way. The unfortunate thing about the suffering in organizations is that it is directly linked to suffering performance. When people suffer, performance suffers.
Today we’ve taken hundreds of remote employees at organizations through Excel as a Remote Team Member.
Our students have found this program engaging, relevant, helped them build connections on their remote teams in ways they could have never imagined. Inspired Teams helped them understand their role on their team better, instilled confidence in themselves and their new roles, and it created a deeper conenction between them and their organization.
COURSE OVERVIEW
This program is a beckoning call for you to enhance the passion, fulfillment, and joy you have on your remote teams.

2022 Q3 Testimonials
Testimonials
What I love about this program is the ability to bring up how we feel and the scripting to help us be more intentional about sharing that. We really work to bring more self-awareness into the workplace so that we can share and get to be a closer team member with people that we might not even work with in person.
Tiara Hairston
I definitely want to underscore the implications of having a more solid emotional intelligence and being able to speak up for yourself. When you’re onboarded in this company, there’s a lot of talk about culture and culture fit. As a new hire it’s easy to not take that seriously. Coming to this class really emphasized how Host, Mitch, and this class is designed to better us and our relationships with our team members, especially in a remote environment. I feel much more “at home” now than I did when I started.
Raphael Umphres
This class was a completely new environment, and it was different than what I expected. Each class that we’ve had has been easy to stay fully engaged in the class and Mitch has been awesome. We’ve learned a lot of key points that we can take back to our teams and be able to really make a difference.
