Bridges in Community
Working groups—such as committees and even entire organizations—often misunderstand the process of reaching sustainable decisions. Sensing an impasse, they may give up or give in to a decision that never works out in practice. Our Bridges in Community workshop shows how to use that impasse as a threshold to breakthrough thinking. When group members understand what it really takes to solve tricky problems and win their colleagues’ buy-in, their results are amazing. This interactive program teaches the skills that increase efficiency and effectiveness, while helping teams bond.
