THE nyhetsbrev UGL februari 2008

Dear UGL Trainer,

Did you know that after 50 years of FIRO^® Theory its applications are still growing dramatically in Sweden? This is presenting trainers and consultants with exciting new business opportunities. If you want to expand your training practice using a theory you're already familiar with, please seriously consider this invitation.

As a UGL trainer you are all familiar with the work of Dr. Will Schutz and FIRO. As a managing director of Will Schutz Associates I saw the powerful impact that FIRO Theory applications can have on organizations. It is one of the most powerful tools consultants and trainers have available for building a strong client base.

You are invited to a seminar, exclusive to UGL trainers, to hear about Will Schutz's revisions to his earlier FIRO Theory and to learn about one of the more effective applications of his work, a program called Radical Collaboration^®. Radical Collaboration is a 3-day highly interactive program aimed at increasing the effectiveness of individuals and organizations by strengthening 5 essential collaborative skills.

The rapid growth of the Radical Collaboration program in Sweden presents a real opportunity for trainers. The number of certified trainers in Sweden has doubled during the each of the past two years, and is currently at 99.

A large number percentage are also UGL trainers Our experience is that effective UGL trainers have the training/facilitation skill set necessary to lead Radical Collaboration workshops.

Some of the advantages of the Radical Collaboration program are:

• It works for in-house programs and established teams as well as open seminars.
• It is a flexible, module based system allowing for customization of the length of the program from half-day to 3-day workshops.
• High quality training materials are conveniently available in both Swedish and English.
• The book upon which the program is based is also in Swedish (FÖRTROENDEFULLT SAMARBETE - ATT BYGGA LÅNGSIKTIGA RELATIONER, published by Studentlitteratur).
  
• The TLT Collaborative Skills Climate Survey^TM supports your success as an effective tool to diagnose gaps in any organization's collaborative skills. This climate survey has also proven to be an effective way for consultants and trainers to build a stronger client base.
• The program is skills based and supported by strong research giving great credibility when introducing the concepts to clients.
• The program offers great flexibility in the numbers of participants it can accommodate, from groups as small as 6 and as large as 50 or more.
• Your clients will see immediate results, strengthening your client base.
• The program and its modules have been used successfully in a wide range of organizations such as Toyota, Boeing, The United Nations, Volvo, NASA, not-for -profit organizations, higher education, and health care organizations. The skills are universally applicable.
• Radical Collaboration can be easily applied in team building, leadership development, general organizational effectiveness or open workshops for individual skill building.
• Trainer Certification programs are available in both Swedish and English.
