Imagine going to work and you are looking forward to talking with your team today to share a great idea you have. This team is the best team you have ever worked on because you feel safe to ask for help, offer help and to admit mistakes because you know your team uses mistakes as an exploration into growth. Even difficult conversations are embraced because here conflict is healthy and leads to innovation and finding better solutions. You and your whole team are committed to team decisions because you feel heard and understood. No one gets thrown under the bus because you truly believe and live "together we are more". Best of all, you hold one another accountable as an act of caring to help each member and the whole team succeed. No running to the boss to tell on a co-worker, which as we know creates a barrier of tension and distrust. With all of this happening for your team, you get things done and those "high five moments" feel good for the team as your diverse talents come together to create something special for your customers that keeps them coming back. It is a win-win for everyone - the employee, the organization and the customer.If this is already your experience, great!

This means getting past the "sticking points" in conversations and meetings so that you can discover the core of what matters and choose the team behaviors that will help each member and the whole team succeed.There is a one-day program to help you discover the five essential behaviors of a truly cohesive team that may be just enough to kick-start your team into more dedication to genuine teamwork - the true competitive advantage of every organization. If you discover you need more time to change your habits of thinking and behavior, that is available as well. Our goal is to create a safe space where your conversations become the catalyst for individual, team and organizational success and innovation..

You can learn who you are in the team and make choices that promote individual, team and organizational success, or you can just quit and go somewhere else. The issue is that teamwork is part of every organization and each person takes his teamwork baggage with them to the next station. The key is to use your current team as an opportunity to understand your own contributions to teamwork and how together you can create better outcomes for all.We are happy to send you the case study of a nursing leadership team that chose the path of the "greater good."

Our emotional intelligence (EI) impacts how we see ourselves, what we notice and think about others and what we do with that awareness that either creates resonance and harmony or dissonance and distrust. According to Goleman in Emotional Intelligence – Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, “EI is the response factor that determines how we use our intellectual capacities and talents. It encompasses the needs, drives, and values that guide all overt behavior.”Research shows our level of EI is the primary indicator of our success in our families, our work and our communities. It begins with an awareness of our own feelings, managing those feelings appropriately, noticing and having empathy for the feelings of others and then being a supportive, caring person in our relationships. Without those qualities, relationships are not sustainable. The good news - unlike IQ, EQ can be developed and improved with mindful attention and experiential learning.
