Workshop: Coaching the Team System

Location: Liberty, 8fl.

Duration: 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Day of week: Tuesday

Level: All

Prerequisites

Interest in helping teams thrive.

Each team system has a different dynamic. Sometimes we have great chemistry and it’s easy but other times it can be really challenging! We can reduce our risk and deliberately build self-aware teams that reflect, experiment and decide how they want to work together. In this interactive workshop, we’ll practice specific tactics to kick off a new team or to bring the life back into a stagnating one.  We will experience ways to surface and get rid of toxic communication and how to foster empathy between roles.

Key takeaways: 

  • Learn how to start up a new team or reset an existing one.
  • Gain alignment with building team alliances and conflict protocols.
  • Experience how to foster empathy between roles.
  • Share communication anti-patterns and remedies.
  • Learn basic workflow visualization to jump start continuous improvement.
