Is a set-back, challenge or unexpected loss making it difficult for you or your team to show-up and deliver your very best performance?

Sometimes a set-back is really a remarkable path forward. Here’s your chance to harness the power of perspective and set a new course for success. This is a story about shaping our best possible future by changing the lens through which we view our challenges.

Program Description:

Nothing is as important to an organization’s success as teamwork. Yet the coronavirus pandemic has left many businesses struggling to adapt and reorganize their energies. Never before has the power of teamwork been more important than in today’s dispersed, chaotic business environment.

At the same time, the ingredients for great teamwork are no mystery. A recent study by McKinsey found that 97% of corporate respondents believed that the number one reason for project failure was a lack of alignment, also known as ‘team harmony’. Yet, the question continues to be: how do we get teams working together in harmony?

For the answer, we need look no further than nature, where the neuroscience of music reveals science-based principles that can be applied to build highly effective teams. Just as the Wright Brothers looked to the flight of birds in nature to build the first airplane, we look to neuroscience and model the harmony of music to create high-performing business teams.

Value To Attendees:

This presentation elicits a high degree of participant engagement. Throughout the workshopstyle exercises and conversations, Dr. Pelè Raymond Ugboajah (“Dr. Pelè”) draws on his research and bestselling book—The 7 Songs Of A Successful Team—to guide participants through intriguing parallels between the 7 elements of music, and the 7 elements of a team. By the end of a lively, fun, and musically interactive experience, attendees will have new awareness and specific takeaway tools that will help them turn what they learn into action and positive team results back at work.

Attendees will have the following learning and takeaways:

• • The ‘WHY’ of Teams – why today’s leading companies are adopting team structures.
• A universal formula for assessing and developing highly successful teams.
• How to create ‘water cooler’ strategies through technology in a COVID-19 world.
• How to effectively transfer team learning into business return on investment (ROI).

Drawing on scholarly research as well as his own unique experiences at the cross-roads of Human Resources, Training, and Music, Dr. Pelè shows how we can model the harmony of music to create profitable business teams.

As a leader, you know — to influence your people, particularly in times of uncertainty and challenge, you need to be trusted.

How can you ensure you are projecting trustworthiness? How can you be certain how your words and actions are perceived? In this presentation, Dr. Heidi Grant will share science-based strategies for you to bridge the gap between intention and impact, and make sure you come across as you mean. Using research from her latest book, Heidi will demonstrate the importance of overcoming biases and assumptions that lead to misperceptions, and how subtle cues like eye contact and nodding can make all the difference.

Beth and I will read poems aloud. Some are finished and ready. Some are still in the works. Listen as we encourage and critique one another. (You and all other attendees will be muted throughout the session.)

Change is inevitable. Successful professionals must navigate unforeseen challenges and opportunities to succeed in their roles. In this workshop, you’ll learn tools to confidently work and lead teams through uncertain and challenging situations in order to adapt to change in creative and unexpected ways. You’ll learn how to use the improvisational idea of “Yes, And” to co-create new processes and practice reacting to new situations with little or no preparation time. Overall, you will learn how to practice “bouncing back” from failure to learn from new and uncomfortable professional situations where some level of imperfection is inevitable.
