Here’s a fact: only 13% of teams are healthy and the root cause has everything to do with how we communicate with them. The reality is that most teams struggle to answer questions like: why is our work important? Who are we helping? What’s the impact we’re making?

​

Healthy teams know who they are and why they exist, and it is leadership’s role to help build this understanding. It is possible to connect the dots and cement a shared understanding.

​

After this session, you'll be able to:​​

1. Understand why aligning on team purpose is closely tied to team health.

2. Apply necessary techniques to not just communicate better with your teams but motivate and inspire them through.

3. Practice and refine your storytelling skills in a safe environment so that you are ready to invoke change when you return to your teams.
