Seeing and Shaping Collaborative Frames with Elise Keith
Do your teams ever struggle with:
- Lost in Translation: Team members from diverse professional, generational, or cultural backgrounds struggle to understand each other, leading to reluctant and surface-level collaboration.
- Clogged Conversations: Discussions circle endlessly around the same problem without resolution, leaving the team stuck and frustrated.
- Swimming Against the Tide: Teams pour energy into solutions that lead nowhere, exhausting themselves in the process.
These challenges arise when teams are trapped in narrow or misaligned perspectives. To move forward, they need to uncover hidden assumptions, realign their views, and reframe their approach.
In this introduction to 5D Thinking Maps, you'll explore a practical toolkit to help your teams:
- Identify the frames shaping their work and interactions.
- Surface and address misunderstandings effectively.
- Reframe conversations to unlock new solutions and fresh momentum.
Through interactive examples, you’ll practice spotting unspoken frames and experimenting with small shifts that can break through bottlenecks and stuck thinking. Perfect for learning and development professionals who want to foster healthier team dynamics, inspire creativity, and encourage constructive conflict.
Key Takeaways:
-Gain a clear understanding of what framing is and why it matters for collaboration.
-Learn how to spot limiting team perspectives and start meaningful conversations about them.
-Leave with an actionable strategy to help your teams open new possibilities and get unstuck at work.
