The Moments That Make Us

Create the Conditions to Have Conversations that Matter

Culture is a conversation generated by the things we say and the actions we take each day. If we want to build stronger leaders, teams, and organizations, everyone has to understand their role in keeping those conversations alive.

This is about cultivating a new understanding of how we can each strengthen how we relate to others at work while building empathy, understanding, and respect. Attendees will walk away with practical steps they can apply immediately.

Key Takeaways:

  • Better support colleagues in meaningful ways – Move beyond surface-level appreciation to create a culture of trust and belonging.
  • Cultivate appreciation and respect in every interaction – Learn concrete strategies to make recognition a natural part of workplace culture.
  • Apply simple yet powerful recognition techniques – Strengthen relationships and improve morale with small, consistent actions.
  • Leverage team rituals to deepen connection, trust, and empathy – Cultivate shared experiences that bring teams closer together.
