 The well-being of every person in a workplace is impacted on by their team culture. Engage team members in playing an active role in creating their team culture.
 It was wonderful to work with a leadership team last week and be reminded how vital behavioural styles are in assisting people to communicate more effectively.
 An honest briefing from a client is so very precious - value this time as it will set you up superbly for your upcoming work with the team/organisation.
 Recently I had the great privilege of being invited to facilitate a leadership team through their team building workshops.
 "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." - Theodore Roosevelt.
 When coming together digitally with leaders in your organisation, the meeting often becomes very task focussed. With the past couple of years demanding a significant increase in video conferencing as our default meeting platform, it's time that we re-introduce the human element of connection.
 Advance Your Business was engaged by NCN Health to facilitate some important work with an amalgamated team. The sticky wall (shown in photograph above) was used in one of the sessions to create a visual illustration of the critical processes the team members were involved in.
 I was at a women’s VFL football match a few weeks ago – the last round of the year. The Team I was following had no chance of making the top 4 for a finals berth – their season was all but over. My daughter has played with her team for nearly 10 years, having chosen the team based on how she felt when she first trained with them (i.e. team culture). When she was looking at which team to join, there were 2 geographically close teams – she trained with one for 2 weeks but did not feel included…she chose the other and joined them, 120 games or so ago now.
 Out on my early morning walk recently, I was fascinated to discover a small army of green ants dragging their dinner, a piece of a large dead earth worm, up a tree – straight up, vertically – no mean effort.
 Most of us work in teams, sometimes multiple teams, both within our workplace and across other organisations. When things go smoothly, we tend not to notice – but when the team is not working well, it causes all sorts of problems.
