About this session
This session gives people practical moves to shift from parallel working to actual connection. Built specifically for the "Team Tree Planting" context, this session stays concrete and respects your team's time.
You'll leave with two or three moves you can try this week, not a 40-page framework.
What your people take away
- Notice the signals of low belonging in your own team — before it shows up in engagement scores
- Spot rituals that work even in calendar-poor weeks
- Run non-violent communication (NVC) as a day-to-day conversation tool
- Build a five-minute check-in format that doesn't feel forced
- Name co-regulation moves drawn from polyvagal theory that calm a tense room
