Discover how to create the conditions for TeamFlow in your organisation

When people are in flow, they perform better, are more creative, and experience greater wellbeing.

On this ten-week course, you’ll learn how the concept of flow can be translated to an organisational setting, by examining the fundamentals of TeamFlow. You’ll explore how teams can create flow to improve collaboration, innovation, and decision making by developing more inclusive, aligned and cohesive environments.

Create meaningful separation and improve team performance

Using techniques to make the most of people’s knowledge, skills, and strengths, you’ll learn to appreciate people’s unique contributions towards achieving team and organisational objectives.

Equipped with this knowledge, you’ll be able to develop a culture of growth mindset that drives performance and creativity.

Enhance alignment using team goals

Team alignment ensures every individual has a common organisational vision and is able to work together to reach a common goal.

You’ll identify key personal and professional motivations and purposes to shape and give meaning to the direction of the team. Using practical tools and techniques you’ll be able to ensure your team stays on track and focused.

Develop team cohesion

By fostering respectful relationships, platforms for connection and meaningful communication, teams can maximise their efficiency and optimise their output.

You’ll explore how to deepen and strengthen human connection through more courageous and vulnerable communication. You’ll also learn to deliver impactful feedback even when working in remote or hybrid teams.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to foster TeamFlow within your organisation and ensure your team champions creativity, wellbeing and respect, whilst efficiently delivering on organisational goals.

This course is designed for anyone working in a team in any organisation. It would benefit those working at any level but particularly those in leadership or managerial positions.
