Thriving & Growing: Deep-Dive Topics

Effective team communication and meeting culture

Meetings take up a lot of our time and can drain our energy instead of contributing to meaningful collaboration. Together with you, we analyse your current meeting structure and culture to harness the potential of asynchronous and synchronous work.

Giving & receiving feedback

An organism without sensory input is blind to change and adaptation. Constructive and precise feedback is an essential part of team communication. Considering the statement “clear is kind”, we reflect on a variety of feedback situations and processes.

Empowering team decision-making

Clarity on the process of decision-making can boost team collaboration. Collectively we begin to unlearn old patterns of decision-making and create space to set up and practise appropriate new tools and processes.

Purpose & values in teams

Gain clarity about your team’s purpose & values and how they can support your daily and strategic work.

Trust & team psychological safety

Our Approach

Our Regenerative Appetisers are an invitation to rethink our standard ways of doing: at work, at home, in our world at large. We know that change can be tough and frustrating, but we want to explicitly invite the fun, the playfulness and the humanness, without ignoring the challenges. Moving towards regeneration here means moving away from extractive practices in favour of closing loops by composting, recycling, and focusing on the things that matter.

Does that resonate with you?

Through dialogue, we can find the best spots in your team, organisation or network for offering your chosen Regenerative Appetiser. It can be a standalone event, embedded in a process that you’re currently going through, an online meeting during lunch breaks (brown bag session), a small training format, or anything else that suits your needs. Regenerative Appetisers can accompany your team, organisation or network on your path to a deeper and more lasting impact.

However, if you’re really hungry, we would rather propose that we take the time to prepare some proper food (for thought) that nourishes you as well as your team, organisation and ecosystem:

I am absolutely amazed by the work of Unity Effect and this session on building trust in teams is no exception! Within 90 minutes I could learn about concepts and tools for building trust while also connect and have a meaningful personal exchange with another participant while lastly, we co-created a toolbox for building trust in teams. I am very grateful for having had the opportunity to join this session.

The Unity Effect workshop on Celebrating with your Team online is practical, creative, and fun. Meeting with others who are leading teams or supporting groups through coaching or consulting was wonderful. I came away with ideas and connections with colleagues. I highly recommend the workshop!
