Getting a team to work together well on a regular basis is complicated.
Just when you thought the team was working well, here comes another snag, another team member making an appointment to discuss a conflict.
And...maybe you struggle to help team members identify some of their own professional limitations so they can be a bit more introspective and overcome some of the barriers they have in working effectively with others.
Instead, everyone points fingers at each other.
How can you get out of problem solving mode and create a new norm altogether?
You want to drive your projects forward.
But, you are stuck because the work doesn’t seem to be getting done. The team suffers because they aren’t gelling. There are unresolved issues that hold things back.
1.
You need to create unity and a sense of alignment in your team and help them understand the differences in people so they can do more.
2.
You need to attract and retain younger team members who want to be part of the process, not just told what to do.
3.
You need effective communication skills when interpersonal relationships get in the way of getting the work done.
WHAT IF YOU TOOK A DIFFERENT APPROACH ALTOGETHER?
Humans are complex.
There are myriad ways our interactions can miss the mark, cause conflict, or even derail the project without us even knowing it.
When we focus on problem solving and pushing forward, we tend to get more problems. Instead, we can shift the focus to improving the team dynamics by changing how people communicate with each other.
By focusing on building trust, we can create a new team dynamic that creates unity and alignment.
The teams start performing better on their own because each person is engaged and accountable to each other.
In an environment of inclusion, people start to thrive and contribute more to the group. They find new solutions to complex challenges because they are working together and co-creating.
Imagine YOUR TEAM WORKING SEAMLESSLY, DELIVERING PROJECTS EARLY :)

Introducing...
The Effective Team Leader
Improving Collaboration And Relationships Through Advanced Communication
CREATING TRUST THROUGH BETTER CONVERSATION
What’s Inside The Effective Team Leader
The ability to work together interdependently is one of our least developed skills.
Yet, it is the most vital in today’s landscape. The communication skill of connecting with others – and creating the emotional space for others to open up – requires deep trust. Without trust, leaders and teams struggle to achieve extraordinary results.
The Neuroscience of Conversations
Section One
When we understand how our brain chemistry affects our interactions, we can begin to turn unproductive conversations where everyone is fighting to protect their turf into conversations that are co-creative; where the group works together towards a common goal. We can also prevent inadvertently shutting people down by communicating in a way that opens people up instead. These methods work with all kinds of teams: from those that meet on a daily basis to those whose team members are new to each other to working with upper management.
Discover How To:
- Understand your own brain chemistry (so you don’t sabotage your ability to contribute in high stakes situations)
- Open up conversations for frank and honest discussions about what the team can actually accomplish and when
- Transform your environment so the team can openly talk about conflicts
- Understand your own brain chemistry (so you don’t sabotage your ability to contribute in high stakes situations)
- Open up conversations for frank and honest discussions about what the team can actually accomplish and when
- Transform your environment so the team can openly talk about conflicts
Discover How To:
- Apply conversation techniques to find out where others are coming from
- Engage with co-creation methods to speed up team processes
- Employ effective communication skills for when interpersonal relationships get in the way of getting the work done
- Understand other team member's frame of reference
The Next Level of Conversation
Section Two
Explore new ways to connect in conversations to increase team synergy and outcomes. In this section, you will experience what these skills can do for your conversations and have the opportunity to create deeper connections and build relationships. When we shift our conversations to this new level, we are then in a position to discover what we don’t know, which opens up new possibilities to discover solutions, innovations and fresh ways of working together.
Discover How To:
- Apply conversation techniques to find out where others are coming from
- Engage with co-creation methods to speed up team processes
- Employ effective communication skills for when interpersonal relationships get in the way of getting the work done
- Understand other team member’s frame of reference
Creating Trust and Psychological Safety
Section Three
Psychological safety has been identified in research as the #1 most important factor contributing to team performance. And, you must first build trust in order to have psychological safety so the two go hand-in-hand. In this section, we dive into understanding these two components and the steps to create an environment that supports them. You will also find out what works against your efforts and how to take measures to rebuild trust when it’s broken (it happens!).
Discover How To:
- Strengthen trust with board members, senior management and peers
- Know for sure that you understand everyone's priorities and motivations before you start a project to ensure success
- Understand what is holding people back from getting work done
- Enjoy an inclusive environment where others feel heard and valued
