Summary: In this highly interactive session, we will focus on 3 elements of effective teamwork: connection, collaboration, and communication (and maybe some bonus C’s will come up too!) Attendees will participate in experiential learning exercises and be encouraged to let go of perfection and show up as their authentic selves. Attendees will be able to zoom out and see how the exercises and structure of this workshop fostered their own sense of connection and belonging within our group, as well as how they can bring these skills back to their role in working with external teams and groups.
Health Literacy and Public Health Professionals can use these skills to work better with clients, stakeholders, their internal teams, etc. In this remote or hybrid working world, it can sometimes feel hard to connect and engage with people. We’re expected to have all the “soft” skills needed to be good team players and leaders. This workshop will help present some of these “soft” skills in a memorable way, and they will get to practice using these skills, instead of just talking about them in a webinar-type of format.
Learning Objectives:
- Attendees will acquire at least one strategy to build inclusive environments and teams that foster the three C’s – connection, collaboration and communication.
- Attendees will collaborate with other team members to understand the importance of a yes, and… mindset (or growth mindset) for improved leadership and teambuilding.
- Attendees will practice these teamwork skills in fun, low-stakes exercises and debrief as a group to reflect on the importance, application, and relevance to their work.
