It is time for a different type of meeting – one that awakens

“…people and organizations move in the direction of the images we hold of the future.”  Diana Whitney

• Do you want a vibrant culture that attracts great people?
• Do you want to improve staff loyalty and longevity?
• Do you want staff to connect their hearts AND their heads to truly own their work?

The more that their people become engaged, invested and take ownership, the more that an organization will thrive. The most vibrant organizations understand that the easiest way to do that is to involve them in the process of determining vision, values, and strategies.

Understanding that people move in the direction they look, the most effective leaders have pivoted away from just focusing on problems. They’ve experienced the transformational power of asking better questions: “When were we at our best? What works well now? Where do we want to go?”

The conversations we have determine the culture that we experience. Dr. Diamond will work with you to choreograph your workshop to create an experience where 100% of the attendees have a voice and 100% of them are engaged.

When was the last time you went to a meeting like that?

It is no longer enough to just be resilient. “Bouncing back” falls short because where we were no longer meets the need. In this high stress, rapidly changing world, those that can engage, adapt, and innovate will excel.

Workshop Objectives:

• Use problem-solving strategies to perform under pressure when resources are scarce.
• Apply the GASP analysis to strengthen the junctions between teams.
• Describe practical internal strategies and specific external strategies to avoid burnout and improve team engagement.
• Define the two dimensions that determine mindset.
• List two pivotal questions that can shift mindset and improve team engagement.

People used to talk about engagement but when disruptive change strikes an already high stress environment, engagement is no longer enough. The most successful teams understand that it takes investment and ownership to navigate change and come out ahead. While there is a host of barriers we all know exist, the real issue is we are trying to get more done with fewer resources. Team members are at high risk to burnout and disengage. Equipped with the Thriver’s Mindset, teams flourish under pressure and leave a legacy people will talk about for years. Forged in the trenches of international disasters from around the globe, Dr. Diamond’s captivating stories and practical strategies equip leaders to make a difference in high-stakes environments when outcomes matter most.
