Highlights from our last event…

 

Our last event took place on 22nd September where learning and development professionals from across a variety of organisations, enjoyed a morning of thought-provoking content followed by group discussions and networking.

 

We were joined by our guest speaker Jude Jennison, who started the conversation about the impact on team dynamics and relationships within the business.

 

What is not being said often has the greatest impact on team dynamics and relationships within the business.

Based on Jude’s best-selling book ‘OPUS: the Hidden Dynamics of Team Performance’, Jude shared stories of working in nature with a herd of horses to reconnect leaders and teams to their own natural leadership behaviours and the 12 hidden dynamics of team performance and how it encourage you to explore the stories you hold about others and how that impacts relationships.

 

Outcomes from the session included:

Understand three critical roles to align a team

Discover three pillars of vitality to enhance well-being and reduce stress

Identify three levels of awareness to create clarity in uncertainty and improve decision-making

Know the three unconscious stories that make or break relationships and how to use them

Discuss with others ways to improve nonverbal behaviours and team dynamics

 

The event was then wrapped up by our Learning Director, James Lee, who led group discussions on future topics for the group to explore at future Meeting of Minds Events.
