Team Building

COMING TOGETHER AROUND THE WORLD

For many organizations, remote work has become part of our new normal with team members spread across the globe. When we work in international teams it’s easy to feel a lack of human connection. We’re missing the watercooler moments, sharing with our colleagues about things that aren’t task-related.

This format has been developed to create a safe space for real conversations. In addition to the topic itself, the session will give them a hands-on experience of a dynamic facilitation approach that they can start using with their own stakeholders, be it external or internal.

Kim’s format and facilitation is outstanding for group learning and connecting across regions and roles.

The positive response was immediate. In a time where we are 'zoomed out' by countless webinars and online meetings, Kim’s session was both refreshing and useful.
