The Brief
As a fully remote company, Incling relish the opportunity to meet up in person a few times a year. The team travel in from all over Europe and the UK for a day of team building, training and bonding.
Incling contacted Impact Factory for an in-person session to help the team get to know each other more in terms of communication styles, resilience levels and personality traits. As they are remote, they wanted to incorporate ways to understand when team members are struggling and better understand each other.
Our Tailored Solution
Impact Factory kicked off the day with an immensely energetic and fun team building session covering some themes including:
Trust: Trust is the foundation for all successful relationships to flourish. It also must be managed and maintained (it arrives on foot and leaves by horseback). What else can you do to embed credibility, reliability, and intimacy with colleagues, other teams and clients?
Establishing Common Ground: Being curious about others will always serve you well and is the starting point to building trust, a key ingredient for all high-performing teams, and leads to greater collaboration.
Social Styles: All social types are of equal value to organisations, they all bring their unique skills. Consider what their dominant style is and your ability to vary your communication to suit other people’s style.
Start with Why: It’s not about you, it’s about them. Showing your understanding of their needs demonstrates your commitment to the relationship
Yes, ‘but’ vs ‘and’: Remember the “but” negates anything that went before. “Yes, and” accepts and builds on what has just been offered, allowing two ideas to sit side-by-side.
The Art of No: A boundary allows us to feel physically and emotionally safe and is crucial for a person’s resilience.
