Launching S*T*E*M*, a series of workshops specifically designed to help Irish-based
companies in the technology sector to move onwards during and after the effects of COVID-19.
The series will focus on rebuilding the collective team dynamic during the isolating
effects of social distancing. It will concentrate on the real business issues affecting
leaders and their teams in these changing times. The aim of the programme is to reengage and reconnect the two and thus re-establish the dynamic that has always
been pivotal to the company’s success.
The STEM Workshops: the series of four workshops will be held weekly for four weeks.
Workshop 1 SELF – Deepening Personal Self-Awareness
This module will focus on deepening one’s understanding of themselves as team
leaders and, in particular how their style has been unexpectedly altered (for good or
for bad) during this period of rapid change.
It will explore such topics as:
● How your style adapts in times of change and pressure with individual
personality profiling
● Insights to increase self-awareness and leverage strengths and understand
your pressure triggers and behaviours.
● Assessing well-being and balance to understand physical and mental
drainers.
Workshop 2 TEAM – Building Team Insight
Each individual has been forced to adapt to different ways of working- style and
dynamic has been forced to adapt. Here leaders see the combined strengths and
weaknesses of their team and offers guidelines on how best to equip it for the future.
This will involve:
● Team personality profiling – insights to increase team style awareness
● Auditing the gap between the current and the desired vision of team success
● Building the team’s collective wellbeing ‘needs’.
Workshop 3 ENGAGE –
Having identified how the team dynamic has changed, this module explores the
‘Shift’- how it can move forward with renewed confidence in its own capability and in
that of its leader.
It will explore such topics as:
● Exploring your organisation’s purpose and how to adapt post-Covid
● Articulating the team’s learning from the recent disequilibrium
● Connecting remotely, re-building trust and moving towards peak performance.
Workshop 4 – MOTIVATE – Innovating and Collaborating
A team coaching session focusing on agile thinking to stimulate innovation and
collaboration. We identify how to use what we’ve learned in the past three
workshops to good effect in the workplace.
● Bringing the learnings about self and team together
● Creating new team energy in a less connected world
● Maintaining motivation and spontaneity
A Toolkit To Take Away
In order to revisit the approaches and solutions developed during the workshop, we
will also provide a number of practical ‘how-to’ tools to refer to when back in the
workplace, for example:
● Getting the best out of your team with a coaching style of management
● Operating in a peer-feedback culture
● Dealing with complexity
Participants will receive individual and team personality profiling from Lumina Spark,
in a visual, digitalised tool.
