Did a team session with one of the groups from Public Service Division. Half of the session was focused on helping the individuals learn about their strengths. The other was on team coaching. Overall, the session went better than I have expected.
CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Team Workshop Program - Business Transformation Technology ESG Group
Had another fantastic time delivering a CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Team Workshop! Some participants were from the business transformation group, some from technology and some from ESG.
One even came back from maternity leave to participate in the program. Was very encouraged by such a commitment to learn.
Great fun!
CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Team Workshop Program - People & Culture Group
Completed Program run number 6!
This was the CliftonStrengths Team Workshop for the Real Estate Company and this run includes participants from the People and Culture Team as well as Office Services.
Lots of laughter and fun as usual. So glad that there is a great buy in to the strengths movement in the organization.
CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Team Building Workshop Program - Legal and Compliance
This was a CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) team building workshop program for the Legal and Compliance Team from a Singapore based Real Estate Portfolio company. This was the fifth run of the CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) program.
Not sure what to expect as I face an all ladies legal team. It turned out to be a fantastic experience. The participants were very engaged and through out the entire strengths workshop program, the whole room was buzzing and alive. Grateful that I could have an opportunity to facilitate this workshop to help the team increase their level of self-awareness so that there can be more effective communication and collaboration.

CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Leadership Team Coaching and Workshop
Some teams are highly dysfunctional while others are in the learning zone.
In a learning zone, some key observables include members seeking feedback, embracing discomfort (for example displaying vulnerability to others), disagreeing and voicing the counter perspectives respectfully etc.
Last week, I had the privilege of doing a session for a leadership team in an intimate off site setting.
Started the session with some CliftonStrengths facilitation work and at the same time, I was paying attention to the team dynamics
I observed the interactions between team members, listened to the different conversations taking place and experienced the team dynamics that was being generated.
After 2 hours of facilitation, I assessed the team was ready for some deeper work.
Switching to team coaching mode, we contracted and opened up a space for the team to have a deeper conversation on trust.
I won’t share details but I love watching how things unfold. I saw different shifts taking place. Some shifts were immediate - shifting of the posture to listen attentively, shifting of energy to be more invested. Other shifts include choosing courage and acknowledging vulnerability, choosing to dream and see future possibilities.
Just watching how the team interact post session during dinner was fascinating for me.
Leadership teams can be functionally effective but seldom tight in their interpersonal dynamics.
This leadership team gives off a different vibe. It had a different spirit and soul.
May God bless this group of human beings to continue flourishing together.
