Join Effective Teaming

Current behavioral science and organizational research shows that when it comes to teams doing their best work what really matters is less about who is on the team and more about how the team works together.

At this 3.5-hour live online program, you'll learn practical interpersonal skills grounded in attention training, growth-oriented mindsets and collaborative behaviors that you can use to promote psychological safety, connection and effectiveness within your team.

Program Structure

This program focuses on three essential aspects of team dynamics that help create an environment of psychological safety for your team based on trust, inclusion, collaboration and performance.

The "I" in Team: leveraging mindfulness skills and building self-awareness of how our thoughts, feelings and behaviors impact others.
The "We" in Team: building awareness of others to enhance psychological safety, trust and empathy.
Communication Skills: working more effectively with others using clear communication and feedback.

By Participating You Will:

Deepen you self-awareness and learn how your thoughts and behaviors impact team dynamics.
Expand your awareness and understanding of others to develop empathy and manage conflict.
Build effective and non-reactive communication skills and learn to collaborate more effectively.
Discover how to promote interactions that create a vibrant high-performing team that is engaged, agile and effective.
Learn practical actions you can take to build a culture that fosters trust and inclusion and leverages diversity.

Effective Teaming is even more useful when you join as a group! Take advantage of our group discounts when you register.

Vanda Sousa

I started my career as a pharmacist, with the goal of improving people's quality of life and I soon realized that this requires much more than medicines. During more than 18 years I worked for multinational pharmaceutical companies, going through different roles in sales, marketing and new business models. Being aware that personal and professional well-being is essential and based on the benefits I was feeling from my personal yoga and meditation practice, I started an ongoing process of study, research and practice in this area. In 2018 I became a SIY Certified Teacher and I am also a Conscious Parenting and Conscious Aging Facilitator. Currently, I am Co-Founder and Lead Mindfulness Instructor at The School of We, a community for learning and building new ways of relating in business, society and with ourselves. Since 2018 I am also responsible for the Mindfulness at Workplace programs at Ser Integral - Centro Português de Mindfulness.

While we do our best to let you know who your teachers will be ahead of time, teachers are subject to change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I join this program as part of a group?

Yes! We have found that attending the program with others - whether friends or colleagues - allows you to more easily integrate what you learn. We offer discounted tickets to all of our programs for groups of 3 or more. You can find these tickets directly on the registration page.

In addition, all of our offerings are also available as internal programs for organizations. You can learn more about our in-company programming here.

This program sounds interesting and I think this would be great for my organization. Do you work with organizations?

I’ve already attended Effective Teaming. What should I do now?

If you’re interested in building on what you learned, we encourage you to join another one of our programs, such as Search Inside Yourself and Adaptive Resilience. All of our programs share the common threads of mindfulness, neuroscience and emotional intelligence and teach different practices based on the subject matter.

We believe that there’s always room to continue to grow these leadership skills and that by attending multiple programs - or attending SIY again - you can expand your understanding and help reinforce what you’ve learned.

Will I receive a recording of the program?

What are the course expectations and technical requirements to join the program?

To fully participate and get the most out of the program, we recommend that you:

Attend all live sessions
Minimize distractions and unplug from other devices so you can give your full attention
Be in a private, physical space where you are comfortable sharing. The program is experiential and includes both breakout rooms and guided meditations. This means that a coffee shop or shared work room are not ideal

The program is held through an online video call platform, so in order to participate we recommend you have:

A private computer with internet access. The program is designed for each person to connect from their own device
A stable internet connection
A camera so that you are able to use video call functions
