Sample Talks
What Does Your Team Value?
Building high performance teams can sometimes feel like moving mountains or at least building bridges between mountains. When the team starts “storming” to high performance, different types of conflict arise. Some conflict is surmountable, but the greatest challenges are conflicts over values that can lead to heated debates, dysfunction, and collaboration collapsing. This talk will explore different types of conflict on teams and some ways you can prepare and navigate the conflict successfully.
