10 Questions Answered to Build Your Confidence as a Grip-Birkman Coach
View webinar at: https://youtu.be/Zap1k5UaUjg.
Overview:
John Blake, Grip-Birkman Leadership Team coordinator, takes a look at how to effectively get started using Grip-Birkman outside of your own organization or church. Whether you are looking at independent consulting or just trying to find ways to build your local community and beyond, getting started can be tough.
Some of the most common issues GB Coaches face launching their coaching practice include: “How do I find people who want to use the Grip-Birkman?” “How do I price my work?” “How do I determine how much time it will take?”

Online TeamBuild No.3 "More Tips and Tools"
Grip-Birkman Coaches have much to offer as teams learn to communicate and redefine themselves in this period of “social distancing.” Many people are experiencing stress, Zoom fatigue, screen fatigue, isolation fatigue, lack of structure, uncertainty, confusion, lack of clarity, and more. As a GB coach, you have an opportunity to offer insights, formally or informally, to how members of the Body of Christ can mobilize and use their gifts and strengths to creatively meet real needs in the present reality.
Gifts Circle (simulated online team "Floor exercise")
Use this PDF with FoxIt PDF to simulate a “floor exercise” with the team. Place icons for each member’s top gifts to see where there are strengths or gaps/needs.
Download the PDF here.
YLG Gifts Circle (online floor exercise)
Download a sample Gifts Circle with symbols here.

Mosaic Template for Team Styles and Body Building Roles
Use this Mosaic to map the team’s Team Styles and Body Building Roles in a simulated “floor exercise.” Use FoxIt PDF in an online TeamBuild to illustrate where each person “stands” and easily see the team’s diversity, strengths and who needs whom.

Birkman Map (Team Interactive PowerPoint)
Birkman Map (Team Interactive) (Click to download)
You can use this PowerPoint in EDIT mode to move symbols around on the Map. You might also choose to share a blank Map on your Zoom screen and allow members to Annotate and place their initials where their own symbols appear. Change the color and size of TEXT by clicking on FORMAT in the Annotate bar. You can then SAVE the annotated screen.
