What’s Different About Eva?
Eva Archer Smith brings a 360° perspective to the concept of teamwork. She starts at the beginning, helping people understand how roles change as they move from an individual to a collective working environment.
She has the ability to help people see how their standard behaviors and reactions begin a chain of events in the world around them. Often for the first time, team members understand their effect on the group’s dynamics. They explore alternatives individually and as a group – until they break the cycle of unproductive deliberation and decision-making.
In the end, teams are often surprised at the small things that were blocking progress – attitudes, routine behaviors, masked competitiveness. Eva’s observations can begin a transformational process that exposes the true power of teams.

It’s not like when I was a young executive, with mentors… Leaders tell me all the time, I wish I had more time to work with direct reports, especially since that’s how my success is measured.
