Online L&D Workshops: Team Performance Series

Adaptive leaders use their strengths and high EQ to unleash potential in others.

This workshop focuses on how managers can practically adapt communication, decision-making and project management to suit remote work, based on insights about ourselves and others.

Building on leadership and emotional intelligence foundations, this workshop steps beyond the individual leader to challenge mindsets around working with diversity and ambiguity.

With a range of self-reflection, practical exercises, case studies and management frameworks, this workshop is guaranteed to get people thinking differently about how to lead, manage and motivate remote teams.

Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work.

– Vincent Lombardi

Based in the foundational principles of positive work culture, this workshop starts with a culture health check diagnostic to surface hidden issues, strengths and priority areas for discussion..

This workshop will give your team the space to cross check how your culture is playing out in the remote environment. With a lively facilitation approach, the session explores the personal and team impacts of reduced face-to-face work, which if left unchecked can have emotional and financial consequences for your team and business.

Working together to build an action plan that goes beyond ‘surviving’ the crisis to laying the foundation for successful transition back to the office. Giving your team a sense of ownership of their next steps goes beyond creating purpose, enhancing motivation and productivity.

Refocusing and being a little more deliberate about how you communicate is even more important currently with teams working remotely – this changed situation impacts each team member differently.

Remote work leaves widening gaps for miscommunication, video conferencing fatigue and waning productivity.

This fun and insightful workshop helps your team to understand their own communication style – and the styles of those around them.

With engaging activities that demonstrate the opportunities (and potential tensions) that come from adapting how we communicate, your team will be equipped with the tools to relieve frustrations commonly arising from reduced face-to-face contact.

Prioritising understanding what it takes to communicate well within the workplace is a vital element in moving teams forward in all areas.

Being comfortable and confident in times of change and uncertainty is a skill that will pay off many times over for your people.

Change is inevitable at the moment – but dealing with it makes many uncomfortable.

Traditional ways of working mean teams are not necessarily set up to thrive in these circumstances. Even beyond the current climate, the ability to adapt to change is a key skill for all employees.

This workshop will expose your team to the the tools, techniques and approaches that can be used to become more confident when dealing with ambiguity and working effectively in VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) environments.

From learning about situations you can and can’t control to confident decision-making and effective communication, having a core toolkit for dealing with ambiguity is an essential skill.

By normalising change and providing a pathway through, we will also explore the impact of stress and reduction techniques.

90% of top performers have high EQ1, a capacity that can be cultivated to be a huge organisational advantage. 

With the new challenges facing our teams, understanding how to identify and manage individual emotional states is more important than ever. Emotional intelligence is a skill – and like any other skill, improvements come with training and practice.

This workshop provides an understanding of emotional intelligence and how building this skill starts with self-awareness and self-regulation.

By introducing your team to easy-to-use tools to practice self-awareness, they will develop a personalised self-regulation toolkit that can be used everyday to enhance emotional well-being.

Your team will also discuss and develop the right team toolkit required to normalise this skill within your culture, supporting ongoing use and development. With these tools your team will be set up to manage emotional states in order to remain productive in the work (and work-from-home) environment.

With rapidly established protocols for working from home largely in place, the next challenge for many is ensuring productivity and motivation from their newly remote workforce

Does your team have a hard time staying on task? Is your business fighting a losing battle against the couch and Netflix?

This practical workshop explores personal motivation triggers, how to hack flailing motivation and what motivation looks like as a team.

Those with the ability (learned or innate) to manage their self-motivation are skilled in delaying gratification and stifling impulsiveness, and have a tendency to be more productive and effective in tasks. This workshop guides employees through the process of marshalling emotions (presently fraught from disaster fatigue and lockdown limitations) in the service of team and personal goals.

When motivation and productivity are genuinely activated, the satisfaction of work and team follow, combating many of the struggles and issues employees are facing the new remote work environment.
