I noticed something important when working with multiple teams over the past couple of weeks.
From 4 – 150 people each session was different and adapted to their needs. It is a valuable use of time beyond the information that has ripples.
These sessions highlighted…
That a staff conference is so much more than the learning – it’s feeling special, being seen, supported, the connections, spending time with each other as people not just collaegues, and having some fun together – who doesn’t love a Emali Early Learning Centre dance off!
Its refreshing to see senior leaders being in amongst it, leading by example, sharing stories, connecting with staff, normalising experiences and their presence being more than a calender invite. Amy Nikolovski you are a master at this and I can see how much the DBH Lawyers team appreciate it.
Having a planning day off site with good food, nice teas, journals and connection is nourishing. Especially when you spend so much time supporting others, having space for reflection and connection to self was beautiful to witness – plus the chance to share, see, hear and acknowledge one another goes beyond the planning. Being in amongst nature was absolutely enegrising, a glorious morning with Amber Owen and the Mindful Pathways team.
That people genuinely love what they do and as managers they are holding so much in supporting others. Having time to acknowlege experiences and be reminded of the things in the work life juggle that make them feel good, connected and energised was so so important. It not just about the information but the conversations and connection that were important for the Resthaven Incorporated managers.
It is wonderful to hold space, engage, share, have conversations and to connect with teams that value their staff and continue to work toward a healthy workplace culture.
It also gives me serious FOMO about working with so many great people doing purposeful work.
