Pro Tip
6 KEY ELEMENTS FOR YOUR HIGH PERFORMING ORGANIZATION
We are dedicating this issue to the lessons learned from implementing the concepts of High Performing Organization (HPO) and developing High Performing Teams. The pro tip of the month includes the download that you can use as a checklist when embarking on the journey of building a high-performing team or re-designing your organization towards excellence.

HPO concepts play a vital role in an organization's health, culture, and growth. Embracing diversity and developing the team's agility, adaptability, and change mindset is critical to supportive teamwork, efficiency, and productivity. Organizations that value performance should invest in their workforce and provide opportunities for engagement and development that will lead to increased growth and sustainability.
HueLife
Our High Performing Team
As our team continues to grow and welcome new members, we knew that the commitments to high performance and healthy team will be critical in order to maintain the level of service we desire.

We dedicated one of our quarterly retreats in 2022 to developing our own High Performing Organization pillars. We used Consensus Workshop with an alternative naming mechanism (demonstrated in Mastering ToP Program). The process worked so well for us that we are now utilizing that same approach with our clients who are seeking team's commitment to high performance and excellence.

Where Are They Now?
Ramsey County, MN
Ramsey County, MN Transforms Workplace Culture for Essential Workers in Wake of Pandemic
Paired with frustrations fueled by the lockdown and dramatic shift in the workplace, civil unrest erupted when the life of an African-American male, George Floyd, was taken at the hands of a Caucasian police officer, Derrick Chauvin. This event triggered massive protests and riots across the world. Globally, civil unrest rose by 10% in 2020, despite nearly every country placing restrictions on public gatherings. This matter divided Ramsey County staff, and the organization’s leadership sought help to bridge gaps between employees and provide clarity about organizational norms, expectations, values, and principles by which employees are to conduct themselves.

Community of Practice
COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE
Community of practice is a FREE peer learning opportunity. We are committed to providing our training program graduates with the space to reflect on recent facilitations, practice designing upcoming events, or simply learn from the experience and expertise of others in the room, including some of our master facilitators who are eager to share their ideas and insights.
 
You will also meet awesome people in this community of learners from different locations, industries, and fields. We generously share what we know, what we are learning, and what we are inventing. This is a space where you can continuously learn from one another and improve your facilitation skills in current real-world settings, while you are building your network. Everyone is welcome!

Global Synergy Group
Mission Update - YouLEAD Program Continues
It’s been a little over a month since the YouLEAD 2022 participants returned to Ukraine. Reflecting on their experience and learnings, most agree that facilitated workshops, trainings, and multiple visits and presentations had a great impact on them as individuals and as the team. They have committed to continuing their connections through working on a joint project: YouLEAD 2023 Program for a new cohort of future leaders of Ukraine.
YouLEAD 2023 Action Planning
Trust Building Workshop
Insights Discovery Workshop
Reflections:

“I can single out the one workshop that was devoted to activism and intersectional feminism, it made a significant contribution to my understanding of these topics” – says Nastya. Thank you Grace Verbrugge for facilitating this workshop!

Evelina remembers Dr. Richard Fursman workshop the most: “During the Insights Discovery training we better understood ourselves and each other. Also, by learning more about other people and their personalities, we became a better team.”

Ksyusha adds “My biggest insights were from all the facilitations we had, including workshop about how personality matters, GSG success and strategy, then the workshop about building trust and communicating effectively and lastly the workshop on the farm about consensus. I think the information gained after those workshops will help us much in being a good community/team member, in our own projects and mainly in creating YouLEAD 2023 even better than we had!”
