How do you currently make decisions in your team? What’s working well and where do you face challenges?

Decision-making is a key leverage point to share responsibility and unlock the capacity for creativity and innovation in a team. Yet it can also be the source of inefficiencies, bottle-necks, conflicts and unhealthy power dynamics. 

Join us on Zoom for a free workshop on ‘Team Decision-Making’ on Wednesday, 9 June 2021 from 10:00 to 11:30.

Over 90 minutes we will: 

• Share methods and processes for empowering decision-making in teams

• Introduce the concept of decentralised decision-making and reflect on opportunities and challenges 

• Reflect on your own team and explore what supports and what gets in the way of good decision-making

• Share experiences, tips and learnings  

Whether you are a team leader, team member, or simply curious to learn about methods for group decision-making, we invite you to join us for an interactive workshop. We would love to learn from your experiences as well!

Hallo ihr Lieben! Gerne teile ich hier den Call for Papers für das englischsprachige Symposium, das ich seit letztem Jahr organisiere, moderiere und durchführe. Ich freue mich auf euch!

The Realm of Possibility (RoP) is an interdisciplinary, international symposium addressing issues and phenomena connected to Gender and Queer Studies. After a successful launch in 2020 with a wonderfully diverse panel of speakers, the 2021 symposium will concentrate on the topic of masculinity.  While contributions from sociology, psychology, etc. are welcome, the symposium’s focus is on cultural and artistic expressions of selfhood and zeitgeist that can be read through the lens of Gender and Queer Studies.

We will explore phenomena of masculinity throughout time and in different cultures, with some guiding questions as follows: What is masculinity? How is it taught? Is it something inherently present in cis-male bodies or is it purely performative? What does masculinity look like in the queer community? What makes toxic masculinity toxic? Is there such a thing as transmasculinity? What is the relationship between patriarchal structures and masculinity?

We invite students of all levels, teachers, PhD students, postdocs, professors, and alumni to send in proposals for academic papers of 15-20 minutes.

If you are interested in presenting a paper, please send an abstract of no more than 300 words and a short biographical note (of 3-5 lines, including your pronouns and your current field of studies) by 15 September 2021 to the following email address: [email protected].

February 9th, 10:00 - 11:30 CET.

Trust: the magic ingredient for empowered, collaborative and innovative teams. In fact, in a two year study on team performance at Google, researchers found that the most important factor which set successful teams apart was psychological safety: the belief that it’s safe to take risks, make mistakes and be vulnerable with peers. Right now, with so much uncertainty and change around us, increasing the trust and psychological safety in your team is more important, and can be more challenging, than ever.

Join us on Zoom for a free workshop on ‘Building Trust and Psychological Safety in Teams’. Over 90 minutes we will: 

• Introduce the concept of psychological safety and trust, why it’s crucial for effective teamwork and what happens to our brains when we don’t feel safe

• Share important factors and practices for increasing the level of trust and psychological safety in your team

• Reflect on your own team and explore what conditions and practices support and get in the way of trust and psychological safety

• Share experiences, tips and learnings  

Whether you are a leader, team member, or simply curious to learn about the importance of building team cultures based on trust and psychological safety, we invite you to join us for an interactive workshop. Already have a high level of trust in your team? That’s great, we’d love to learn from your experiences as well! 

It’s also a chance for you to learn about our 12 week online program, the Leadership Journey, where we cover topics including creating collaborative, innovative and empowering team environments.

We look forward to exploring, reflecting and learning together with you!
