You make, on average, about 10,000 decisions every single day. It may feel you’re on an island when you’re making all of those decisions. In this session, you’ll find you have support from people all around - you just have to know where to look. We’ll take a look at the common biases & emotions that people display, and never realize they are doing so. We’ll use the information to translate that into what you could see, and how to turn that into action to help you and your team. Teams are made up of a variety of individuals, and we’ll discuss different ways to turn individuals into team and get more productivity from your team – by giving them more of what they want at work.
