YOU ARE A MANAGER OR LEADER IN NAME ONLY UNTIL YOU CREATE THE CONDITIONS FOR HEALTHY COLLABORATIONS.

HIGH EFFECTIVENESS TEAMS DON’T JUST HAPPEN - THEY REQUIRE SPECIFIC SKILLS, MINDSETS AND PRIORITIES

JOURNEYS OF ORGANIZATIONAL TRANSFORMATION TAKE INTENTIONALITY, AN ACTION LEARNING ORIENTATION AND SKILLFUL SUPPORT OF YOUR CHANGE INTENTIONS

We have all, all too often had experiences in teams, and as team leaders, that involved any one of these dysfunctions: the ineffective use of hierarchy as “power over,” a lack of trust, games of ego, and an over-reliance on command and control to create some sort of accountability. Creative, productive collaboration is, unfortunately, not the norm.

The practice of “healthy teaming” is needed now more than ever in today’s complex and easily polarizing world. When a team maintains an awareness of itself as an interdependent human system, it has increasing and sustainable levels of trust, a capacity to productively engage with conflict, and the energy for motivating goals that deliver results while growing team skills.

Growing the managerial capacity to navigate complexity, include diverse viewpoints, and innovate one’s business or function into the new forms that are required by the needs and wants of society today is key to a healthy business ecosystem.

My work with teams and leaders in various sectors and geographies has shown me the usefulness of systems thinking in a team environment, the necessity of curiosity and generous listening, and the value of the innovative work of Otto Scharmer, Patrick Lencioni, and Amy Edmondson.

I have brought my expertise and experience to organizations and leaders in a variety of formats:

High Effectiveness Team (HET) consulting (see key elements HERE)
Leadership Development practicum design and/or facilitation that leverages Theory U and dialogic change frameworks
Inclusive Leadership and Unconscious Bias Awareness learning session design and facilitation
Women's Leadership Initiatives design and facilitation
Cross-cultural skills development
Executive Coaching that is linked to an HET consulting process
