In-depth training for managers and teams.
What we teach
Working with people is like navigating icebergs: usually you see and comprehend only 10%. Meanwhile, the remaining 90% lies “below the waterline,” preventing a correct understanding. Putting in the best communication tools will not solve this problem. We created Keystone to help managers and their teams see beyond the 10% so that they can work with confidence and effectiveness.How we teach

What people say about Keystone
The Global Collaboration Assessment I used as a team-building tool with my global team. It was very effective—practical and immediately applicable.
This is nothing like the many tools out there. It is the real thing. You will see how to apply it immediately.
This tool changed how my team conducts meetings. It has made them productive and shorter in time. Wished we had done this many months earlier!
My team wasn’t communicating. I didn’t know if the root cause was cultural or personal. The gManagement series plus workshops solved the problem.
