DESCRIPTION

Many successful individuals find themselves in leadership roles without substantive training on leading teams. Based on Elena's best-selling book, The Art of Coaching Teams, this learning experience provides a framework and tools to lead an engaged, high-functioning team. Participants will learn to design agendas based on adult learning theory, execute the administrative tasks that will keep their team thriving, cultivate their team's emotional resilience to combat cynicism, and keep their team centered on their shared vision and purpose.

This is a practical, hands-on workshop that blends technical skills with more complex theories that are vital for a thriving, resilient team. Participants will see these strategies modeled, have time to reflect on their own practice, and be given an opportunity to apply the skills they're learning together. Anyone who leads a team focused on children will benefit from this workshop and will leave more confident in their ability to guide their team to new heights. 


OUTCOMES

Participants will: 

  • Operate with the commitment and skills to foster a trusting, inclusive team culture.
  • Identify next steps and a process to ensure your team has a clear, shared purpose.
  • Build your own emotional intelligence (EI) and practice ways to build the EI of your team.
  • Hone your ability to reframe and respond to resistance.
  • Navigate conflict with less anxiety and greater skill.



ACTIVITIES INCLUDE

  • Consider agenda design that aligns with purpose and principles of adult learning
  • Create your own trust building plan
  • Observe and role play scenarios for coaching teams
  • Ground yourself in your leadership strengths and clarify your purpose and hopes for your team
  • Improve your ability to listen deeply and listen for new understanding
  • Reflect on and plan for building a more inclusive team

  • Anyone who facilitates a team—whether you hold a formal position of authority or you manage a body of work through lateral leadership
