Listening – a powerful skill

What happens when we listen and when we are listened to? What happens when we listen to ourselves? Your attitude is the most important thing when you listen. You are a good listener when you want what’s best, are present in the conversation, and open to what is being said. Here, a listening PAL appears, P as in Present, A as in Authentic, and L as in Loving. You will learn how to facilitate listening, that it does not mean you agree when you listen to understand, and how to ask questions in the right way. This is a lecture aimed at companies that want strong teams with high psychological safety.

Building a Strong Team: How to Make Each Other Great

"How we make each other great" is an invitation to everyone who wants to deepen their relationship with themselves and with others. It’s not about being inadequate, but about creating conditions for everyone to explore and express themselves. What positive consequences arise for our community when we develop our ability to see the best in each other? By being open, exploratory, and sharing our needs and expectations, we create conditions for making each other great. When we make each other great, we go from trying to fit in to belonging together. Get tools to successfully develop as a group and become a well-functioning team where participants thrive.

Unlocking Collective Potential

What happens when we use different types of intelligence to solve problems? Generally, we are good at using our verbal intelligence. We formulate problems and put words to the solutions. Try using visual intelligence and draw a picture instead. Or why not use somatic/body intelligence and describe the solution with gestures? What would happen if you used your metaphorical intelligence? When we help each other and create conditions for collective intelligence to take place, we find the truly wise solutions. This is a creative and playful lecture or workshop that can be either general or tailored to the challenges you face as a company.
