BOOST YOUR TEAM’S PRODUCTIVITY AND HAPPINESS

.
A team can be loaded with the most experienced and sought after individuals in the business; but if your team is not aligned and connected, frustration and underperformance becomes inevitable. As a result, negative talk becomes infectious, creative energy dwindles, and the spirit of the team becomes deflated,
which leads to a swift reduction in productivity.

Some indicators that your team is out of alignment

• Lack of trust amongst team members
• Passive behavior
• Low commitment, engagement and connection between team members
• Lack of accountability
• Unclear agreements amongst team members
• Formation of cliques
• Stifling of new members leading to high turnover
• Slow incorporation of new initiatives

• Sharing personal stories
• Learning to lead with vulnerability
• Building trust through deeper connection with team members
• Engaging in healthy conflict
• Growing from the messages being reflected back

Your team will learn to connect with one another in a deeper, more authentic manner and leave with a stronger belief in oneself and each other. Our intention is to help you take your team’s productivity to the next level, create an environment where turnover is practically non-existent and members are invested in each other through connection and trust.
