Leadership -- Storytelling -- Change
THE FOLLOWING WORKSHOPS CAN BE TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS
Public Narrative: Storytelling for Action
Public Narrative is the craft of telling the story of your 'why' and calling others into action with you. Emotional experiences in our lives and moments of agency teach us the values that lead to our callings. By getting in touch with these moments we begin to access our own motivational moral resources in deeper ways; by communicating these to others we help them understand us and motivate them to act with us. Based in the work of Marshall Ganz at Harvard University, this workshop enables participants to dig into their 'why' and communicate it to others, develop community through narrating shared values, and call a group to action around the urgent issues we face.
Emotional Intelligence and Empathic Leadership in a Time of Crisis
We've all heard the saying 'people resist change,' right? Actually, people resist loss. In this moment, people are grappling with losses all around them -- material losses, losses of competency, losses of identity, and losses of certainty about the future. Without empathic leadership, things can feel dire and hopeless. Yet with a few key tools, we can enable agency in those around us. The empathetic bridge, created by Marshall Ganz at Harvard University, offers a four-step process for helping communities make meaning out of loss. Through experiential and engaging pedagogy, this workshop teaches participants to use the empathetic bridge to help people move forward with new hope, agency, and confidence.
Motivation, Creativity and Connection in the Face of Crisis
With the pressures of remote work and the continued onslaught of unpredictable events this year, many workspaces are finding that motivation and morale are diminishing. Yet there are several simple techniques leaders can use to build motivation and improve morale. Drawing on the latest research, this workshop focuses on four key elements of motivation: agency, connection, creativity, and purpose. Through customized design challenges and exercises, we'll build your team's resilience and ability to face into crisis with creativity and courage.
RETREATS FOR TEAM SUSTENANCE: I spark connected communities within organizations through design and facilitation of retreats. I find that 'team building activities' can sometimes feel removed from reality and often are left behind at the offsite rather than carried forward into everyday organizational life. Instead, I strive for building and sustaining teams for the long term, inviting team members to step into connection and support as a mindset rather than simply an activity. I design bespoke gatherings that bring your team into alignment and connection around shared purpose. With intention, efficiency, and fun, we craft a memorable experience for your community that will continue long after time together.
