Teams
Creating Culture
You could be spending as much as 40% of your work week dealing with difficult behaviour that could be a result of conflicts, miscommunication and misaligned teams. That means 2 full days of a 5 day work week may be wasted and unproductive. Imagine what you could do if you could get back some of that time.
Group Workshops
Your Latitude’s workshops are led by experienced facilitators fluent in strategies and techniques for engaging delivery whether in-person or online.
Signature workshops in change and transition management, and strengthening personal resiliency are offered in half day or full day formats. Other custom options are available in communication strategies, conflict resolution, and solution-focused performance management.
Mediation and Reconciliation
Your office culture does not have to be defined by conflict in your workplace.
As a solution-focused trained Mediator I have witnessed countless transformations take place in mediations. From multi-party unionized environments to family owned small businesses, what remains the same is the need to be heard, respected and be part of the solution.
Solution-focused Mediation is a future-focused, active process that encourages the participant to co-create the type of relationship or understanding they need to have in order to work well together. Because it is future-focused it invites us to consider “even if we can never understand why that problem exists, even if we can never fully unravel all of that baggage, you can still have a new future. What would you like it to look like?”
Conflict management is a very sensitive area of professional development. Each person experiences conflict in a unique way and often times their expectations of how the conflict should be resolved and what the end result should look like is dictated by these unique experiences.
A solution-focused mediator can help clear the direction by helping to create alignment, re-establish lost trust and provide support so the team can proactively steer towards goals and outcomes.
“Going through the process of hiring and training new employees because you are growing and require more staff is one thing – but the cost of interviewing, hiring and training new employees to replace someone because of turnover – now that’s a whole different story. If you can avoid the cost of turnover by hiring a mediator to support your staff in working through conflict or improving relationships, that’s money well spent.” – Rob Macaulay, V.P. of Operations Urban Machinery, Kitchener
Equine Assisted Coaching
Your Latitude has teamed up with Sierra Acres just outside of the GTHA in Ontario to bring this experiential component to any team experience. Individuals or teams can participate in this incredibly unique experience to actively work on removing barriers to their personal growth, discover better communication methods, become intentional in their actions and problem solving, and identify new ways of thinking that will challenge the status quo.
Management, front line staff or Senior Leadership teams won’t have these kinds of conversations in the boardroom or office. If your team needs to break through old habits, challenge barriers and intentionally build the kind of workplace culture you deserve to spend your day in, you need this experience.
No horse experience necessary! All activities are done working with and around the horses, but no horse experience is necessary as we wont be doing any riding.
