Abstract/Description

For a while now we have been appreciative of the importance of crafting authentic relationships – the “Individuals and Interactions” value in the Agile Manifesto. We know that relationships are better when there is safety, so we spend time on Team Startups, and we create Working Agreements or Alliances to consciously shape our relationships. And we notice the benefits.

But have you ever asked yourself how to go about creating exceptional connections? Between yourself and others, but also between those that you work with? The actual steps you can take – what you can DO? The science of it? Or do you believe that some people are just naturally better at relationships and that is the way it is?

Whether you are a coach, a team member, a leader, really anyone, If you are keen to explore the nuts and bolts of creating exceptional relationships, join me for a practical and potentially surprising journey into the nature of trust, connection, betrayal, vulnerability and more. Let’s look at your relationships and see what practical tools and skills might be of use to you. And who knows – those that you are in relationship with, might just notice the difference!


Learning Outcomes:

  • Reframe the way ones define relationships
  • Explore the components of strong/good relationships
  • Understand what impacts the connection in relationships, and what to do about it
  • Apply some relationship building skills to existing relationships in a fun way
