Some Teams We Have Played With!

#1 Factor for Effective Teams

Summary:

Teams that live in fear falter. Teams that are empowered, thrive. A Google Study determined that the #1 factor for thriving teams is a culture of psychological safety.

Psychological safety is simply when team members confidently inquire, make mistakes, contribute and challenge ideas.

The Psychological Safety PLAYshop is the ultimate team bonding workshop! Through it's immersive games and content, teams will come together to foster a better understanding of inclusion, contribution and failure. Participants will learn to build a culture of trust, understanding and calculated risks to maximize team potential!

Solve complex issues and problems
Rely on strong communication to execute
Are diverse & have many different points of view
