Preparation for Winter Olympics has begun
Local businesses can get help on skills, strategies
WHATCOM -- Bellingham Whatcom County Tourism wants to help its business partners prepare for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, B.C.
"The Winter Olympics Service Initiative will help any business that wants to further develop its management personnel, improve customer-service skills and learn marketing strategies," said Loni Rahm, president and CEO of BWCT. "It will particularly assist companies that want to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the 2010 Winter Olympics."
The 2010 Winter Olympic Games are scheduled for Feb. 12-28 and will be followed by the Paralympic Winter Games, also in Vancouver, B.C., March 12-21. Approximately 10,000 media representatives will attend and 1.8 million tickets for events will be sold, many of them to tourists from throughout the world.
"When people travel to see the Winter Olympics, they also want to see some of the surrounding sights," said Steve Brenk, board chair of BWCT and general manager of Bellingham's Best Western Lakeway Inn. "Whatcom County is ideally situated because we're between the international airports in Vancouver, B.C., and Seattle that most visitors will use. Also, currency rates are extremely favorable now for Canadian, Asian and European tourists visiting the United States."
Bellingham-based Evergreen Team Concepts is developing the training workshops for business participants. Henry Beeland, president of Evergreen Team Concepts, saw firsthand how some businesses reacted to the opportunities and challenges posed by the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
"If Northwest Washington is prepared to reach out to these visitors and meet their unique needs, this region can reap the benefits of increased tourism for years to come," Beeland said.
BWCT will present four workshops per year in 2008 and 2009 to members participating in the Winter Olympics Service Initiative. Workshops will cover many topics, including customer-service training, team building, telephone skills, marketing strategies, diversity and culture awareness, and understanding the needs of visitors.
Participants also will have access to up to four additional audio and/or Internet training events each year that will be led by national business experts, plus quarterly Internet forums.
Other benefits include a quarterly e-newsletter covering Winter Olympics business topics, plus international marketing efforts in coordination with Ferndale-based PRWeb that highlight participating businesses.
Bellingham Whatcom County Tourism will offer the Winter Olympics Service Initiative to its 400 members at a substantially reduced rate of $149 per year or $249 for two years. BWCT also will make the training program available to its economic development partners on a space-available basis.

Evergreen Team Concepts builds ‘teams outside box’
HENRY BEELAND Title: Founder and CEO. Business: Evergreen Team Concepts. Established: September 2007. Employees: Seven full-time staff, plus various instructors and speakers under contract. Local office: 3600 Meridian St., Suite 100. Information: info@etcwa.com 647-6922 or http://www.etcwa.com/
Henry Beeland says he recognized an unmet need for premier business and professional training and that's why he recently launched Evergreen Team Concepts. He doesn't view his company as competing with local training institutions so much as complementing what's already available. He explains some of the premises behind the business.
What does Evergreen Team Concepts offer?The company provides consulting services, professional training and development in facilities on Meridian Street or will bring a speaker or instructor to an employer's location. Beeland said what sets Evergreen apart is the flexibility to customize training and to offer classes, workshops or seminars at short notice. The training center features classy decor, a 45-seat presentation room and a 30-seat interactive computer lab. The place is designed to motivate visitors to realize the benefits of education. “When you recognize the primary participant in your own failures, you can become the greatest participant in your own success,” he said.
What type of skills do you teach?Classes range from computer training to customer service to high performance sales. Certification courses are available. These include Lean 5S, which focuses on team leadership and operational efficiencies, and Six Sigma, a program that instills continuous quality improvement in the workplace. These certifications are offered by partnering with Kansas Citybased Rockhurst University and its National Seminars Training Program.
Your customers?His years in private industry demonstrated that only mega-size corporations possess the resources to bring in a Fortune 500 consultant or other top-level training. However, costs are affordable when spread among seminar participants. Since opening in September, Evergreen has worked with or trained 50 businesses, brought in experts from four countries, along with 10 published authors. “I'm pleased with our progress and where we are headed,” he said. Obviously, business operators are realizing their staff's assets. “Too often businesses can't define how much they invested in training or on outcomes,” he said.
How did you prepare for your position?He served four years in the U.S. Army as a combat medic before earning an undergraduate degree from Mercer University in Macon, Ga., in human resource administration. He is certified to teach the Six Sigma and Lean 5S certification programs.
He worked seven years in project management for the state of Georgia before leaving for private industry. He spent the next 15 years in various management positions in the grocery, manufacturing, distribution and construction industries in five states.
He met his wife, Brenda, while consulting on a project in Whatcom County in 2003, and then moved here.
What is your business philosophy?The business is based on the idea of “building teams outside the box.” Evergreen strives to do this with techniques that move away from the didactic and linear thinking to innovative ways of presenting information. There's even a laughter workshop to help with communication and lightening the workplace environment.
Growing the business?Evergreen Team Concepts offers a Web-based platform that enables clients to ask unlimited questions on subjects that include safety, human resources, project management, team building, OSHA and WISHA regulations and other topics. Web forums led by top professionals are available online, and resource materials are available for use in the workplace or to augment training.
What's ahead?He plans to have two dozen training facilities established across the country in the next decade or so. He keeps the business plan focused “on discovering new ways to help facilitate success for our business clients.

New business takes Team Concept to greater heights
BUSINESS PROFILE
New business takes Team Concept to greater heights
Evergreen Team Concepts shows others how to do the sameBy Elisa Claassen
HOW MANY COMPANIES in Bellingham – or the region – offer unlimited possibilities for education and growth for employees, have an easily accessible CEO, print up a page full of core values developed by the team of nine employees – and offer toys for adults to play with in the workplace?
How many companies have half of their workforce turn in surveys stating how much they enjoy the workplace – when it has only been open less than a month?
Evergreen Team Concepts (ETC), a corporate training and consulting firm, heavily promoted the concept of team building internally before showing others how to do it themselves as a firm specializing in providing training, consulting and seminars. When founder and CEO Henry Beeland established ETC's headquarters on Meridian Street in Bellingham, he found a site with easy access to I-5, adjacent free parking for employees and clients, and found one of his financing partners, Vern Platt.
An initial financial backer wasn't able to get the funding and Beeland found himself telling Platt, his landlord and a retired executive with 37 years at Hughes Aircraft Company, a bit about the situation and his goals and dreams for ETC. Platt decided to extend his role beyond landlord to investing partner. (He has since been joined by Lilly Yang in the ownership team.)
Beeland, whose background includes corporate management and various aspects of human resources and safety oversight, said he had seen things that had worked well and others that hadn't, and knew that a number of small companies couldn't afford internal training. He saw a need to be filled for companies to stay competitive and yet keep their
“We challenge our employees to lead where they are.”Henry Beeland,Evergreen Team Concepts
training at 40- to 50-percent lower than other competitive training programs, which average $150 to $300 a day, amounting to around 20 cents per employee per day.
Training takes various shapes: national on-site training, professional public seminars, Web solutions video and audio training, mini modules customized to business, industry specific programs and interactive computer lab training. Topics include software proficiency, sharpening customer service skills, lean leadership and inspiring the workforce to be more excited and energized.
“We've leveled the playing field,” Beeland said concisely. He said a national trend is for employees to stay less than two years in a job. “It's becoming an epidemic in the U.S. … it takes time and energy to believe in employees.” Yet, he said, employers who invest in their employees can save a tremendous amount of money in the long run. At the core of this is lack of innovation and creativity in the workplace as too many employees and employers exist in a status quo of quietly doing things as they always have.
Beeland has three ways employers can create a positive workplace and retain employees: to motivate by compassion and not just bottom-line figures, show respect and not micromanage competent staff, and to “hamflap.” Hamflapping, something that Beeland said he invented, is to “Have as Much Fun and Laughter as Possible.” He says it is a necessity since employees spend more time at work than they often do at home and that going to work should have more benefits than merely getting a paycheck.
While he explained that he makes time for one-on-one meetings weekly with each employee, even brief ones if time is limited, so that employees can catch him up, tell him new ideas or vent (“We care about them as individuals.”). He also reiterated that he can't separate his employees' personal and professional lives; that if an employee is having a personal problem that is unresolved, it can affect professional performance. If they have an interest in furthering themselves, he encourages his employees to take advantage of their educational programs, whether they pertain directly to the employee's tasks or even topics such as stress management, if they have an interest.
Even making mistakes, which might be cause in many firms for a write-up or dismissal, he said he sees as learning opportunities and as an investment in building a stronger employee.
“Plato says to ‘Be kind,'” he said. “We challenge our employees to lead where they are,” a principle that applies not only to management level staff but to administrative assistants as well. Respect, he says, comes through trust and confidence. He's made a play on words with Einstein's formula and turned it into E2=MC which stands for “Education and Experience equals Motivation and Confidence.”
The amazingly fast-talking Southerner, Beeland, has arranged an office with soothing Northwest colors, abundant fountains, boxes of toys, easy access to boxes of chocolates and various hot and cold beverages for clients and employees. One result is seemingly happy employees.
Employees' comments reflect the 9s and 10s on their score sheets: “unlimited continued education;” “values that you adopt and make your own;” “creative, intelligent, energetic people committed and passionate about our mission;” “the CEO is accessible to everyone and takes an active interest in my position and how I am doing as a person – he wants to facilitate my success;”
“It takes time and energy to believe in employees”Henry Beeland
“Evergreen Team Concepts is a fun and exciting place to work because they really are dedicated to the concept of thinking outside the box;” “our voices as individuals count.”
Recent speaker, author Judi Moreo, president of Turning Point International, a performance improvement company offering training and consulting in leadership fields, was one of the team's first outside speakers with a national reputation to come in September. In an interview with David Wright in “Getting Things Done: Keys to Communication, Sales and Service,” Moreo says, “Routines keep us in our comfort zone. You have to be willing to step out of that comfort zone and do something different every day so that you become comfortable with change and adaptable to changing circumstances. … If you really want to get things done you must be passionate about what it is you want to accomplish.”
Getting outside of ruts and being passionate encompass ETC's philosophy, which lists core values such as innovation, creativity, professionalism, inspiration, compassion, leadership, dedication and commitment.
“We believe everyone is important, unique with special abilities, creative and innovative,” Beeland said.

training at 40- to 50-percent lower than other competitive training programs, which average $150 to $300 a day, amounting to around 20 cents per employee per day.
Training takes various shapes: national on-site training, professional public seminars, Web solutions video and audio training, mini modules customized to business, industry specific programs and interactive computer lab training. Topics include software proficiency, sharpening customer service skills, lean leadership and inspiring the workforce to be more excited and energized.
“We've leveled the playing field,” Beeland said concisely. He said a national trend is for employees to stay less than two years in a job. “It's becoming an epidemic in the U.S. … it takes time and energy to believe in employees.” Yet, he said, employers who invest in their employees can save a tremendous amount of money in the long run. At the core of this is lack of innovation and creativity in the workplace as too many employees and employers exist in a status quo of quietly doing things as they always have.
Beeland has three ways employers can create a positive workplace and retain employees: to motivate by compassion and not just bottom-line figures, show respect and not micromanage competent staff, and to “hamflap.” Hamflapping, something that Beeland said he invented, is to “Have as Much Fun and Laughter as Possible.” He says it is a necessity since employees spend more time at work than they often do at home and that going to work should have more benefits than merely getting a paycheck.
While he explained that he makes time for one-on-one meetings weekly with each employee, even brief ones if time is limited, so that employees can catch him up, tell him new ideas or vent (“We care about them as individuals.”). He also reiterated that he can't separate his employees' personal and professional lives; that if an employee is having a personal problem that is unresolved, it can affect professional performance. If they have an interest in furthering themselves, he encourages his employees to take advantage of their educational programs, whether they pertain directly to the employee's tasks or even topics such as stress management, if they have an interest.
Even making mistakes, which might be cause in many firms for a write-up or dismissal, he said he sees as learning opportunities and as an investment in building a stronger employee.
“Plato says to ‘Be kind,'” he said. “We challenge our employees to lead where they are,” a principle that applies not only to management level staff but to administrative assistants as well. Respect, he says, comes through trust and confidence. He's made a play on words with Einstein's formula and turned it into E2=MC which stands for “Education and Experience equals Motivation and Confidence.”
The amazingly fast-talking Southerner, Beeland, has arranged an office with soothing Northwest colors, abundant fountains, boxes of toys, easy access to boxes of chocolates and various hot and cold beverages for clients and employees. One result is seemingly happy employees.
Employees' comments reflect the 9s and 10s on their score sheets: “unlimited continued education;” “values that you adopt and make your own;” “creative, intelligent, energetic people committed and passionate about our mission;” “the CEO is accessible to everyone and takes an active interest in my position and how I am doing as a person – he wants to facilitate my success;”
“It takes time and energy to believe in employees”Henry Beeland
“Evergreen Team Concepts is a fun and exciting place to work because they really are dedicated to the concept of thinking outside the box;” “our voices as individuals count.”
Recent speaker, author Judi Moreo, president of Turning Point International, a performance improvement company offering training and consulting in leadership fields, was one of the team's first outside speakers with a national reputation to come in September. In an interview with David Wright in “Getting Things Done: Keys to Communication, Sales and Service,” Moreo says, “Routines keep us in our comfort zone. You have to be willing to step out of that comfort zone and do something different every day so that you become comfortable with change and adaptable to changing circumstances. … If you really want to get things done you must be passionate about what it is you want to accomplish.”
Getting outside of ruts and being passionate encompass ETC's philosophy, which lists core values such as innovation, creativity, professionalism, inspiration, compassion, leadership, dedication and commitment.
“We believe everyone is important, unique with special abilities, creative and innovative,” Beeland said.

Business Births: Evergreen Team Concepts
Henry Beeland has brought his passion for quality training to Meridian Street in the form of Evergreen Team Concepts. So far, the company has attracted 30 local businesses and government agencies to its first three seminars.
Henry Beeland has a passion for effective training.
Having worked in management positions in the grocery, manufacturing, distribution and construction industries for 15 years, he gathered a collection of training dos and don'ts that propelled him into his current endeavor.
First and foremost, it bothered him that not every company had access to quality seminars and trainings. Colossal companies like Microsoft and Boeing could afford to send groups of workers to topnotch speakers and training events while smaller companies were left in the dust.
At his new business, Evergreen Team Concepts, located on Meridian Street, Beeland focuses on narrowing the training gap by offering high-quality seminars and training events, as well as certification courses, at a reduced fee for local businesses by partnering with Kansas City–based Rockhurst University, which operates the National Seminars Training program.
Upcoming trainings and seminars at Evergreen include “Mastering the Essentials of Microsoft Excel 2007,” “Communication with Tact and Skill,” “Secrets to Creating and Sustaining an Energized and Effective Workplace,” and “High Performance Sales Certification Program.”
Through a special program called Team Development Group, employers can track and measure the progress of their employees' skills acquired through Evergreen functions with an online matrix, as well as have access to Evergreen consultants, a facilitator, and a discounted rate for seminars, training and certification programs. For a one-day seminar or training, Team Development Group Members pay about $99 to $149 a seat, depending on the topic and the trainer.
“Our primary focus is to provide businesses with those intangible things needed to develop stronger teams,” Beeland said.
So far, more than 30 local business and government agencies have attended Evergreen's first three seminars since Sept. 1.
Beeland said it is important for business owners to realize the changing landscape of employee tenure. These days, the average job retention in the United States is two years, he said, and that kind of turnover is killing employers.
While past generations of workers were incentivized by security, contemporary employees want opportunity and growth. Quality training and education, like the kind offered at Evergreen, can play into that need and retain workers, Beeland said.
As for the company's future, Beeland's goal is to open 24 Evergreen Team Concept centers across the country by 2020.
