Why this workshop

You’d like to think that the people you work with can get along, follow the same playbook, and collaborate smoothly. But often there are points of friction. This workshop shows your team how to embrace the gradual growth of relationships between collaborators within a fast-paced context.

Improve the quality of collaboration in your team

What you will learn

You will learn how to listen deeply to each other, to make another person feel heard. Your team will begin to develop awareness of their own thoughts processes as well as what their collaborators are trying to express. Understand that empathy is a skill and not an emotion.

• Build awareness of what collaborators are trying to express, and your reactions to it
• Learn a deeper, standardized technique for listening
• Find common purpose and guiding principles
• Develop rapport and trust

Activities

• Presentation with slides and diagrams
• Exercises to practice critical skills
• A demo of a communication between co-workers, where we apply concepts from the workshop

Important: Indi will need a one-page transcript of a typical conversation where two team members are failing to collaborate as well as they both wish. You will make up a version of how this plays out for your team so Indi can use it as core evidence to dissect for the workshop. Each team is different, so this is required in order for the best outcome for your learning. The transcript can use typical things that people run into with each other, and can jam together a bunch of different contexts
