What is Disengagement Costing You and Your Organization?
Far too many teams are unhealthy and disengaged. This costs organizations billions of dollars, but the bigger issue is disengagement leaves leaders and employees feeling frustrated and unfulfilled. Even worse, they bring those same negative feelings back home to the ones they love.
Disengaged Employees
Will Leave – Taking Their Talent with Them
Only Come To Work For a Paycheck
Hurt Your Bottom Line
Are Unfulfilled at Work
Lack Focus
Are Unproductive
Negatively Infect Team Morale

“Our entire team was not fully aligned with a clarity of purpose. This caused us to question the overall value we were offering our clientele. Breaking The Chain Consulting came highly recommended and more than delivered. Our team is now fully energized around a shared common belief. Most importantly, our team is focused on what is most important for our customers.”
“We did not have a coherently shared mission. This made me uneasy, as I knew people were looking to me to point the way. Jim helped me see that not only was I prepared to lead the team forward, the team was also there to help. Jim was our guide on this journey, not a lecturer. We now have a common purpose and know exactly where we want to be as a team.”
“As a new city, we are growing so fast, the workload has not allowed us to coalesce as a team. We were frustrated and not as cohesive as we should be. If you went into this training a skeptic, you came out a believer.”
“We had disengaged employees, which created unspoken frustration, a lack of cohesion, and no resolution in sight. Jim customized a workshop that spoke our language. His approach is current and fresh. Now we are a Strength-Based Team and everyone is fully engaged. No one is ‘checked out’. We now have a real path forward.”
We Use a Strengths-Based Leadership Framework
Why Focus on Strengths?
Because employee engagement is not about personality – it’s about performance. Strengths explain the unique ways you and your team naturally think, feel and behave.
What is Strengths Based Performance?
A powerful way to describe what people naturally do best. Your Top Five Talents are what primarily drive you. Knowing and using them changes everything.
We show you how to identify and maximize your top talents so you can better lead yourself and your teams.

Where does the training take place?
You provide the venue and we provide a highly interactive, participative, and engaging learning environment.
What’s needed for the training?
We are a highly professional and self-contained training operation. If you are in the Southern California area, we will bring our own computer, projector, cables, adapters, speaker, easel stands, charts, and writing instruments. If we have to travel farther and/or fly, we can still bring most of these items with us, but might need your help; especially when it comes to making photocopies.
We also like our clients to provide seating arrangements that allow for personal interaction (table groups rather than traditional classroom seating).
Don’t worry, we will work out all of these details well before we arrive and will do everything we can to take the load off of you.
What’s the cost?
This all depends on the service you need, but know this – Studies show most leadership training is ridiculously overpriced and fails. Our services are not only reasonably priced, they actually work, and provide an incredible value that will transform your teams. Schedule an Appointment for a quote.
We’re really down to earth and don’t need a lot of unnecessary frills like first class seating, fancy hotel rooms, and luxury vehicles. Because we focus on your team’s needs instead of our own, we do everything we can to keep travel and lodging costs reasonably low.
