Team Building & Collaboration
A team is not a group of people that work together. A team is a group of people that trust each other.
Programme Overview
Description
Create the Great in You offer a new and exciting programme for teams to get a better understanding of the advantages, disadvantages and benefits of collaboration at a personal and professional level.
Our programme has been designed with the support of Enterprise Ireland and using the academic writing of Dr Bernadette Brereton from Dundalk Institute of Technology.
Daily life and new environments present a variety of unfamiliar challenges such as different personalities, working styles, cultures and opinions. Our approach is non-judgemental & person-centred and aims to challenge each of the participants to work in a collaborative space and to explore collaboration using Tuckman’s group stages of Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing to examine where they feel they are at and individual or team.

Our aim is to provide a safe space where each of the participants will get the opportunity to explore the benefits of a positive, collaborative environment while being challenged throughout the process to critically think and problem solve. Ice-breakers, motivational quotes and poetry will be used to make the experience a meaningful one together.
Case study approach:

- Pre-reading material to be discussed
