How does a team or a community harness this unpredictable energy to generate a "Helmet's Off" atmosphere where meaningful issues can be identified and engaged in a collaborative spirit? Are you ready to challenge the old saw: "There's no 'I' in team!" Can you disarm constructive power struggles that engage others while affirming your integrity; can you set appropriate boundaries while building trust? During these rapidly changing and turbulent times, let the Stress Doc help you break down barriers and build bridges toward greater team coordination and leadership-partnership learning systems.

Who Should Attend

Individuals, teams, and the organization as a whole benefit when you have high task and human touch communicators. These head and heart communicators not only know how to dynamically present ideas but, most important, encourage diverse and collaborative – “Helmet’s Off” – engagement and problem-solving. Systems become more real and risk-taking, creative and interactive communities when leaders know how to “say it and engage it.”

Why Should You Attend

This webinar will help all organization or company personnel recognize the “danger and opportunity” presented by change, and how this can create tension and conflict among colleagues, teams and the system as a whole.  It will also illuminate the “passion power” of aware, authentic, and arousing communication. By engaging in the “Three ‘R’s – Resilience-Relating-Risk-taking – a team or organization can become both more creative and productive as well as more collaborative and cohesive.
