Lycée Francais Creating a Team Culture in New York, New York
We began the session talking about personality styles and how they affect our communication styles. As we discussed the natural strengths and weaknesses of each style, we tied in an overview of each of the four sets of People Principles. This group had done a more in-depth Creating a Team Culture workshop with us in the past, and wanted this one to be a refresher for those that had been through it before while still bringing value to those for whom the material was new. As we reviewed each set of principles, the group engaged in a brief activity to help them digest the material and think about how it applies to their everyday workplace life.
The members of the group participated in all of the exercises with enthusiasm that created a buzz of conversation all around the room. It was clear that this was the tip of the iceberg in terms of what they could do and discuss with the principles. By the end of the brief session, everyone left with clear ideas about how they can individually and collectively change their workplace dynamics for the better.
“This was really great – everyone was engaged and enjoyed the workshop greatly! We’ll definitely do more of this in the future.” — Antoinette Silverman, Lycée Francais of New York
