In this 90-minute session, we will examine how equity, inclusion, and belonging are key drivers of effective team dynamics and long-term success.

Through interactive discussions, case examples, and reflective exercises, participants will: 

  • Explore the foundations of team cohesion and what differentiates high-functioning teams from groups that simply “work together.” 
  • Identify common barriers to collaboration, including communication gaps, inequitable dynamics, and role confusion. 
  • Practice strategies for leading with emotional intelligence, fostering psychological safety, and addressing conflict constructively. 
  • Learn practical tools for setting shared goals, leveraging diverse strengths, and cultivating accountability.
