Team Talk Building Excellence with Solution Focused Skills
Team Talk: 15 skills to build excellence and wellbeing at work.
Susanne Burgstaller and Chris Iveson
The way teammates talk to each other matters more now than ever before. Team members need to be able to speak from the heart and build trusting relationships on a peer-to-peer level, while at the same time producing excellent outcomes. Most organisations, public and private sectors, now operate in a context of constant and often unpredictable change with workplace stress increasingly becoming the norm.
In this two-day workshop you will learn 15 Solution Focused skills that will help you become a better communicator and collaborator. Whether you ae a team member or leader, coach or consultant, public, voluntary or private sector, we will make your life easier.
Positive relationships and real collaboration within teams and between teams and managers
A clear sense of direction for yourself and for the team
More readiness for the changes that inevitably lie ahead
Better and faster outcomes from the efforts you put into your days
Meetings and conversations that you welcome and enjoy
Readiness for the challenges, personal and professional, that come each day.
This will be an extremely practical workshop, focusing on well-tried and tested skills adaptable to every team and workplace. You will also receive a copy of Burgstaller and Iveson’s Team Talk so you can constantly refresh your learning as well as introduce it to our teams.
