Get Rid of the Fear Factor in the Hybrid Workplace

You’re all about leading your team, and perhaps you've already got a set of Team Agreements to ensure the team knows the rules of the road, but it's hard to know where to begin to address the new workplace pressures of a hybrid workplace.

Working with teams virtually, it can sometimes feel like we’re driving in a thick fog - we need to slow down, and it takes longer to register and respond to what’s ahead of us. The solution then is turning on our high beams of awareness, to amplify all of our senses.

A New Positive Approach - Self Awareness

When we don't feel safe, our fears are triggered and change is usually the cause. This fear state is natural and keeps us alert to harm, but it keeps us "safe" from needed change. As author Yvette Murray states, "awareness + acceptance + action = change".

You will come away from this workshop with a better understanding of the 4 basic human needs we all have, and why changes caused by the new ways of working have us pumping the brakes.

With this insight, we can help our teams understand the why behind the tactical changes needed to adapt to the hybrid workplace, and open up to new ways of doing things. When we help our teams feel safe, they take more risks, which is mission critical for collaboration, alignment, innovation and execution.

This interactive workshop includes a review and exploration of:

• The 4 basic human needs of Connection, Status, Autonomy and Freedom.

• The challenges posed by the hybrid workplace that impact our interactions and cause us to "play it safe" and go into reactive mode.

• Practical guidelines to tailor a "no surprises" Team Agreement to the hybrid workplace, to help a team feel safe and take more risks, to better collaborate, align, innovate and execute.
