ABOUT REBOOTER GROUP
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
We’ve observed over the years that teams who support their own needs are the ones that succeed. These teams become the building blocks of successful organisations, and ultimately, a thriving society.
Rebooter Group’s mission, through its TeamEQ suite of tools, is to unlock the full potential of teams by leveraging our proprietary tools so teams and their managers can understand the intricate dynamics that shape their interactions.
When we see stronger relationships and improved communication within teams, we’re happy knowing that these skills will likely extend beyond the workplace into individuals’ personal lives as well.
We believe that every team, regardless of size or industry, possesses the potential for extraordinary achievement. By treating the underlying factors that influence team behavior seriously, organisations can identify areas for improvement and implement targeted interventions.
HOW WE DO IT
Rebooter Group operates two streams:
- TeamEQ assessment tool.
- TeamEQ training.
Our training sessions help organisations stop dysfunction in their workforce by building an accepting and trusting environment. This is done through the use of the applied improvisation methodology (AIM) based on the work of Viola Spolin. Through this, we aim to change the Australian business landscape to make it one of the most innovative, productive and attractive work environments to be in in the world.
Through our work and with our allies and collaboration partners, we hope to see positive effects in the wider society, as people take what they learn in our programs and apply them to their home and family life, and the wider community.
It is highly possible that what is called ‘talented behavior’ is simply a greater individual capacity for experiencing. From this point of view, it is in the increasing of the individual capacity for experiencing that the untold potentiality of a personality can be evoked.
