In this episode of TeamTime Table Talks, your host Debbie Wayth talks with practitioner Stefan Cousquer about strategy work in teams.  Stefan shares his reflection that most of the issues related to strategy conversations are about relationships with very human issues like power and trust.  Stefan shares his experience and talks us through one of the models he uses to help teams develop a shared language and understanding that not only identifies future options but also the important plays and capabilities to bridge the present and the future. 

This isn’t lofty, idealist work but conversations rooted in the real world, that make a difference to how we view the world and the role of team and our organisations in it.  How do your team shape up in your strategy conversations?

In this episode of TeamTime Table Talks, your host Debbie Wayth talks with chartered psychologist, OD practitioner and author, Sarah Rozenthuler, on why purpose in teams is important and how she brings this to life through a focus on the quality of conversations and a systemic orientation.  Sarah reflects on the intangible aspects of work with teams - from the physical room set up to the psychological safety within the group to unlock the collective intelligence of the team. If purpose in our teams plays such an important role, how clear is the purpose in your team?

In this episode of TeamTime Table Talks, your host Debbie Wayth talks with Trudi West, Professor of Practice in Leadership and Psychology, to explore her work with leaders and teams, and how we can best support our teams to shift from surviving to thriving.

We talk about the importance of the lost ‘transitional’ space between work and home, as well as learn from Trudi’s research into the key capabilities essential in high-performing teams. We ask, if humanity is the mortar in organisations and teams, how strong is yours?

What is the difference between how well we connect versus interact with each other?  Why does it matter in a pandemic?  With a prolonged period of ‘enforced' separation from some, and 'enforced' proximity with others, as well as many experiencing 'Zoom fatigue', how well do you feel heard/seen by those you work with/for, and those you are close to?  

Supported by Harvard’s 75-year study in to what makes a healthier and happier life, we know that the quality of our relationships and connection is paramount.  

We each have absorbed high levels of conflict through this period which has to have an impact on how we are feeling.  We need to support each other more than ever to avoid the second wave becoming one of mental health and well-being.  

In this episode we’ll talk through this and explore micro-connections that you can start today, including 'reaching in' to others, rather than waiting for them to 'reach out' to you, and to consider the quality and motives related to our listening.
