Welcome to SG4M

The small-groups McSill motivation and management method

Stories are not all!

Our experience in Storytelling, Team Development and Management, we have shown that not only us, but leaders everywhere want teams that are effective, focused and committed to organizational goals. That's why we started SG4M, to help you have a team that brings together the best in performance, results and able to communicate through engaging narratives. SG4M's goal is to help you to deliver! Teams only perform when and if their managers are leading and motivating them effectively. SG4M knows that and comes in to deliver our training and development seminars that aim to create a more productive work environment by combining good motivational practices, enabling your team to understand their personal stories and giving a meaningful shake-up in the way they interact with each other and with your company's mission, values and principles. We help you to establish the kind of atmosphere and culture that your team needs to excel. We’ve built on our 40-year experience working Europe, Latin-America, USA, Asia and Africa in the Storytelling, Teaching and Teacher Training fields to develop a framework to help both teams and their managers not only to understand how their behavior is perceived by people in other parts of the world, but also to provide them with practical tools for decoding how those cultural differences may be impacting their success once they're able to use then to their advantage.
