    I advise CEOs and C-Suites on how to improve their companies. My focus tends toward operations, project management, systems, vendor management, marketing, software engineering, and company structure. And most importantly: people. I prefer helping teams execute on a strategy, rather than just talk. I love the debate and conversation that yields stronger teams and vision. Nothing better than seeing a client execute on a good strategy and after a month or two witness progress first hand. I also love reviewing a P&L. Past clients have included co-founders, CEOs, various c-suite positions, for companies up to $500M in annual revenue. My experience is very diverse, from working in an artisanal pickle factory, leading programs at Boeing, and leading interagency efficiency work for the NYC Mayor's Office. I typically don't spend more than a couple hours per week, as I also have a company to run. Looking forward to speaking~~ jed

    My name is David Thirumur and I am an Award-Winning Executive Coach, Leadership Consultant, and Training Expert. I am here to help you with any challenges that you may be facing on a personal, professional, and organizational level, with regards to leadership, accountability, strategic planning, goal setting, employee and team management, and organizational training and development. If there is a gap between where you are right now and where you would like to be, or if results in your life and in your organization aren’t matching up to the efforts that are being put in, I’m just the person you need to get you out of the rut and across the gap. As an award winning Transformational Coach, Leadership Speaker, and Training Expert, I have worked with over 400,000 people across 42 different countries in various capacities. I have conducted close to 1700 training and speaking events around the globe, and have spent countless hours in one-to-one coaching and strategy meetings. My clients are from a large variety of backgrounds—from large multinational corporations such as Google, Microsoft, Genpact, ANZ, Convergys, Fidelity Group, etc. to solo entrepreneurs and small businesses in countries such as Nigeria, Uganda, Moldova, and Nepal. As such, I have a diversity of experience and this comes in handy with my clients, as I never take a “one size fits all” approach, but rather I help each individual and organization find the solutions particularly suited to their unique needs. As such, I have won international awards for training, coaching, and speaking. My clients’ experience and results are my number one priority and you can see this reflected in the numerous written and video testimonials that you can find on my profile. Results and satisfaction are core to what I do and I take great pride in exceeding my clients’ expectations. When it comes to coaching, I bring a balance between being holistic and results oriented. I have a deep understanding of the inner workings of the brain, and I combine knowledge and techniques from NLP, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and psychology in order to produce maximum results. This enables me to help you have lasting breakthroughs at a faster rate, because we'll be getting to the root of the problems directly. At the same time, I also am an avid student of the power of habits and rituals and I consistently push for action and habit formation to consolidate on the gains that have been made, in order to make the transformation permanent. When it comes to training, I bring excellence in every aspect from need analysis, review, design, and deployment of the programs at an organizational level. I am a Dale Carnegie certified trainer, so I am highly proficient in instructional design, Bloom's Taxonomy, Gestalt's Theories of Design, Adult Learning Principles, etc. and I combine all my knowledge to produce the training program that will make the most impact for you and your team. So whether you need a coach, a speaker, or a trainer, my goal is to help you get what you need and to reach the level of personal, professional and organizational success that you desire.

How to write an effective team building job post

With a clear picture of your ideal team building specialist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for an independent professional to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective team building job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From selling team building programs to assisting group leaders at events, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or marketing channels, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts
