Phyl T. Macomber
Assistive Technology Specialist

Collaborative Team Building

Phyl excels in teaching teams how to improve team collaboration, team member cooperation, and open lines of communication between team members. She emphasizes that belonging to a team is a result of feeling part of something larger than one's self. To achieve this, Phyl guides the team in their further understanding of their mission or objectives.

Specifically, Phyl offers strategies on how to "build bridges" between team members, instead of "driving wedges." Simply put, Phyl teaches the team how to make their actions better serve the bigger picture – the progress of the person with the disability.

	How to Develop More Effective Communication
	How to Establish Clear and Practical Expectations
