Tailored workshop series: Fostering resilient & regenerative teamwork

When you have the intention to strengthen teamwork in a resilient and regenerative way, knowing how and where to get started can feel overwhelming and fuzzy. We give you a head start by guiding you and your team through a series of tailored workshops fostering team collaboration, so that you can focus your time and energy on what matters most amidst the daily bustle: shaping your working culture and collaboration in the direction you dream and desire.

Who is it for?

  • Leaders and internal change agents dedicated to fostering a resilient and regenerative culture at work
  • Teams and organisations seeking to strengthen their internal teamwork and collaborative capacities

What’s included?

  • Initial assessment
  • Tailored workshops
  • Resources from our Living Library
  • Evaluation of progress and promising pathways forward

Duration

The entire cycle typically takes 2-3 months, depending on the frequency of thematic workshops and response time to the initial assessment.

Expected Outcome

Valuable team time spent together often quickly fills up with a long list of open topics, to-do's and different aspects to coordinate. Together, we’ll make space to strengthen the underlying conditions that benefit team health and, in turn, your daily teamwork and collaboration. We ensure the impact on your team health and collaboration beyond the thematic workshops by supporting you to:

  • Integrate practices and knowledge from the workshops into your daily and strategic work, drawing on the resources of our Living Library
  • Further deepen trust between team members via ongoing peer exchange.  

Potential topics

We focus specifically on hybrid teamwork, creating synergies between digital and in-person collaboration. We have prepared several topics that we consider essential for resilient and regenerative teamwork. You can choose one foundational and one deep-dive topic from the following options to shape your workshop series.

Working on the Soil: Foundational Topics

Building resilience & handling stress

How can we handle stress in a healthy way? What does resilience mean for us personally and as a team? What can we prepare and how do we (re)act in stressful times?

Trust & team psychological safety

The basic ingredients for regenerative teamwork are creating and nourishing a psychologically safe and trusting environment, so all team members can take risks and are comfortable being themselves.

Thriving & Growing: Deep-Dive Topics

Effective team communication and meeting culture

Meetings take up a lot of our time and can drain our energy instead of contributing to meaningful collaboration. Together with you, we analyse your current meeting structure and culture to harness the potential of asynchronous and synchronous work.

Giving & receiving feedback

An organism without sensory input is blind to change and adaptation. Constructive and precise feedback is an essential part of team communication. Considering the statement “clear is kind”, we reflect on a variety of feedback situations and processes.

Empowering team decision-making

Clarity on the process of decision-making can boost team collaboration. Collectively we begin to unlearn old patterns of decision-making and create space to set up and practise appropriate new tools and processes.

Purpose & values in teams

Gain clarity about your team’s purpose & values and how they can support your daily and strategic work.

Trust & team psychological safety

Explore conditions & practices to increase the magic ingredient for effective teamwork: trust.

Giving & receiving feedback

Learn communication practices and approaches for more mindful and effective feedback conversations.

Empowering team decision-making

Learn tools & methods to make decision-making more inclusive, efficient & empowering.

Setting boundaries & saying no

Practise setting and respecting boundaries in leadership and teamwork, and learn tools to communicate them.

Leading with purpose & values

Develop clarity about your purpose & values and how they can guide you as a leader.

Building resilience & handling stress

Develop supportive practices for you and your team to deal with stress and navigate challenges.

Digital event design & facilitation

Gain tools & methods to create engaging & efficient online meetings & events.

Leadership in a changing and complex world

Equip yourself for wayfinding in a VUCA world (volatile - uncertain - complex - ambiguous).

Peer learning in organisations & networks

Tap into the wealth of knowledge, lived experiences and diverse perspectives that are present within every group.

The Impact Garden

Discover a regenerative approach to Theories of Change to create new insights and foster a deeper understanding of your project and work.

Rethinking impact measurement

Learn about measurement as an opportunity to foster participation, reveal hidden potential, and to serve people and the planet.

Collaborative Innovation

Explore how corporations, governments, and civil society can co-create ecosystems that foster life-centered innovation.

Our Approach

We provide the frame; together we bring it to life. 

Our 4-step process illustrates the circularity of our work – initially providing more guidance and content that is embodied and integrated over time to create regenerative conditions for your internal teamwork.

1. Initial assessment & intention setting: 

This step is all about understanding the status quo (of your teamwork) via our regenerative approach to evaluation, to then be able to jointly choose the relevant workshop topics. 

2. Thematic workshops 

We facilitate three workshops centred around the chosen topics, with a strong focus on creating hands-on learning experiences and understanding quick wins for implementation. Additional emphasis is put on sharing good practices to create connection and participation within your team, while also strengthening efficient teamwork. 

3. Evaluation & follow-up

We share key insights and constructive action steps for your team, based on the joint workshop experience. We also share further resources from our Living Library to support the transfer of workshop insights to your daily and strategic work. 

4. Integration

With this input from the workshops and additional resources, you internally commit to further establish new practices and processes towards resilient and regenerative teamwork.

I was truly amazed how Jannik and Franziska managed to design a well fitted one-day-workshop with our group of 10 professionals in leading positions in different kind of businesses. Within minutes we found each other in a wonderful workflow. We have learned a lot about leadership and self-organisation and the Why of our actions. The workshop was well structured with refreshing breaks and deep insight. A gift to me!
