It shouldn’t be so hard for hybrid & remote teams to collaborate, innovate & connect

No matter how much ‘team building’ we throw at our teams, employees are continually reporting disconnection from colleagues, and ineffective collaboration in hybrid & remote teams.

The answer isn’t to go back to the office, and team building that doesn’t relate to your work is short lived.

We need something longer lasting, with minimal time investment and effort.

Stop Team building start telling stories

We used to spend time together and share stories around the watercooler.

We need connection embedded, intentionally. In a hybrid & remote world, we need to be more strategic and intentional way to connect as humans that lasts.

Understanding why inspires action in others

- Simon Senek

Inspire your team to inspire each other through their stories.

"Because hearing stories requires active participation on the part of the listener, stories are the most profound social form of human interaction, communication, and learning." Terrence Gargiulo

Understanding and articulating why we do what we do connects us to purpose and our organisation. Understanding why others do what they do builds connection to each other. Once we’re connected, and feeling safe-enough to play with work, we contribute our ideas, develop a feedback culture that is mission focused. We inspire our teams and leadership becomes more… fun.

when smart people work well together,
they can solve any problem.
