Does your organization have strategies in place to leverage the Power of Teams?
Vivo’s CEO, Renée Safrata, with 30 years of entrepreneurship and a passion for vital, productive teams and leaders, will provide data-driven case studies to show how you can unlock the secrets to team performance.
This workshop is essential for those who are passionate about increasing team and leader performance, reducing cost and changing the culture of their workplace to be highly accountable and productive.
Participants will:
Prior to the talk, each participant will be asked to complete a 5-minute diagnostic on a team within their organization. The data from the participants attending the talk will be used to customize the content to be most relevant to the participants in attendance. Renée will also share the aggregate data to give a picture of the current state of the teams within the room.
Each participant will receive an individual report on their team.
Avoiding conflict and creating a culture where being liked is more important than being respected (in other words, trying too hard to be ‘nice’) can lead to lack of accountability in a team. As a result, staff produce low-quality work, miss deadlines, and engage in passive-aggressive conflict, causing team productivity to plummet.
In this informative, interactive talk, you will discover how to motivate – not punish or cajole – people so that they become volunteers and not “voluntolds”. People want to be productive – for themselves, for the team and for the company.
Participants will learn how to:
These ideas are at the heart of what we at Vivo call Account-Ability: The Science of Human Performance – professional, respectful methods of getting things done and achieving desired results. Account-Ability is a way of doing business – a way of doing life – should you choose to take the assignment.
When teams aren’t communicating effectively, it leads to a sick environment of information hoarding, resentment by those who aren’t kept up to date, bad planning and inefficiency. The team ends up working at cross-purposes or unaware that others are taking on the same task.
In this Vivo Talk we help participants identify where communication is breaking down and give them effective techniques to start to create a team culture of clear communication.
Participants will:
Giving Feedback alone doesn’t work. Research tells us that about 1/3 of the time feedback leads to momentary performance improvement, 1/3 of the time it results in nothing and in 1/3 of cases it leads to worsening performance.
There is a better way.
In this Vivo Talk you will discover the power of the three “F” words to inspire and engage people to improve their performance.
You will find out the real dynamics of “negative” or “positive” feedback.
Join us for this interactive, informative session, and learn the One Thing that will make a huge difference to your influence power.
Your career success is directly related to your behavioral intelligence.
People with average IQs outperform those with the highest IQs 70% of the time. How do they do that? They develop their Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to become more Behaviorally Intelligent. As you train your mind to display new emotionally intelligent behaviors, your brain builds the pathways needed to connect more successfully with people. In this interactive Vivo Talk, you will learn how to be aware of, control and manage yours – and others – behaviors at work for more fun and engagement.
In this talk, you will:
A well-run meeting can inform and motivate teams and create a culture of collaboration. However, unfortunately, most meetings aren’t well run: they’re an ineffective waste of time. They are either haphazard (called only when there is a crisis); too rigid (held at a set time, always, whether there is something on the agenda or not); or focused on one-way communication (leaders pushing out messages that may or may not be useful to the people in the meeting).
In this Vivo Talk we will teach people the importance of creating and maintaining structures in all areas of the organization to build transparency and accountability in all areas including meetings, decision making and email norms.
Participants will:
