I was lucky enough to have Aram as an instructor for three management courses over a 14-month period. He is one of the most effective instructors I’ve ever had, probably due to his willingness to challenge and be challenged. His style seems to be adaptable to any personality and this allows him to connect in an uncommon fashion. I gained real professional benefit from being in his courses and I would not hesitate to take another class with him or engage him to teach my team.

One of our greatest leadership challenges is in guiding intelligent, independent individuals to become healthy productive teams. This highly interactive program helps leaders compose a vision for their teams and direct their performers away from conflict and competition to become high-performing ensembles.
Through assesments, exercises, case studies, and group discussion, Aram guides leaders to better manage the diversity of their teams and leverage their people’s individual strengths. He helps them turn team dysfunction into healthy team behaviors, and move groups past conflict avoidance and into psychological safety. From Storming to Performing.
Designed for individual leaders or intact leadership teams, this program helps create healthy and harmonious workplaces. Leaders identify and prioritize actual team issues, then strategize how to influence the behaviors of team members to resolve them: first with help by the leader, and then on their own.
Leaders will learn to create more team engagement and effectiveness that will drive your drive business forward.
Storming to Performing can be delivered as either 4 half-day or 2 full-day sessions, on-site or as part of a retreat.
A Certified Virtual Presenter, Aram can deliver his programs on any platform.

- Identify the different personal styles that make up teams and navigate the inherent conflict between them.
- Apply Style Strategies to flex behavior for better results from team members
- Prioritize team issues and develop healthy conflict strategies to turn competition into collaboration
- Adopt the behavior of highly-performing teams and consistently outperform expectations

Aram uses music as a way to make leadership and organizational development accessible to everyone. To do this he relies on two concepts from music that apply directly to business and leadership – structure and improvisation. He’ll help your leaders drive performance in your existing structure while inspiring them to innovate leadership within your culture like jazz masters.
