Does business have to be a dog-eat-dog world? Where the person who shouts the loudest wins, and we have winners and losers? Opposing forces ready to attack?Toxic cultures are everywhere, and your business might not look like a war zone, but toxic behaviour like gossip, criticism, contempt, and defensiveness can break the morale, flow, and productivity of your team while leading to resignations.In this webinar, Yoke van Dam explores what dysfunctional relationships we have at work, and how we tend to move into roles of playing the victim, being the predator of the shark, or acting as the rescuer. When we access those roles, teams become distrustful, and this leads to a breakdown of communication, morale, and teamwork.Yoke van Dam encourages her audience to step out of the dysfunctional drama triangle and to find ways of building healthy, meaningful connections at work.Promised outcomes: The audience will walk away with real-world case studies, implementable ideas, and strategiesThey will be convicted on their core behaviour and inspired to shift their mindset, take action, and to influenceThis talk should act as a catalyst to change through optimizing NLP techniques, storytelling, and humourAreas CoveredSteve Karpmin’s Drama triangleCo-dependence and the lies we’ve been toldDysfunctional relationships at work What causes teams to break up - Dr John GottmanBecoming assertive, setting healthy boundaries while having clear communicationLearning ObjectivesYou will identify what co-dependent roles you naturally take on and find a healthier alternativeYou will learn how to be more assertiveYou will be able to set healthy boundariesYou will consider your relationships at work and move away from toxic behaviourBy being aware of your state you can choose to take on a positive working role, that has a win-win for all parties concernedYou will be able to stand up for yourself, while still treating the other party with respectCourse Level - Intermediate Who Should AttendManagers, directors, sales executives, IT managers, IT support, Customer service, Social media, Marketing, Human resources.Why Should You AttendDo you struggle to say no and set healthy boundaries?Do you notice teams walking over each other and acting in a toxic manner?Do you want healthy, meaningful relationships with your clients and your internal teams?Are you often rescuing your team, and sit with a sense of resentment because you are doing everyone else’s job? Do the teams treat you without respect when you work with them internally?Do you often find yourself in the middle of someone else’s argument and picking up the pieces after a clash between departments?Topic BackgroundWhen Yoke van Dam was working in the corporate environment, she often saw different departments fighting with each other which was either apparent or hidden through resentment and toxic behavior.This talk was developed to help various departments understand what co-dependent roles they take on and to start working together towards a win-win, rather than against each other.This talk has been offered to various industries including medical aid, pharmaceutical, construction, water treatment, legal, and across departments.
