PROGRAM COMING SOON!

Collaboration 101

This introductory program helps colleagues build the skills they need to work collaboratively toward a goal. It invites learners to reflect on healthy team dynamics and on their own contributions to the group. It offers useful strategies for handling mistakes, avoiding “groupthink,” managing conflicts, and asking solution-focused questions. The program is co-developed with Jennifer Porritt, CHRL, CTDP. Jennifer is the founder and principal consultant of JP Consulting, a firm offering custom leadership training plans built on award-winning and notable tools. She brings 25+ years of experience in the Human Resources industry and has empowered more than 5,000 individuals and led more than 475 trainings.

TOPIC: Collaboration
LEVEL: Introductory
Core Skills & Behaviours
  1. Strengths-based approaches: By reflecting on their own strengths and those of colleagues, learners can appreciate everyone’s unique contributions and bring multiple perspectives into any collaborative project.
  2. Choosing the right tools and processes: To ensure that everyone can participate in collaborative processes, learners are encouraged to move beyond “opening the floor.” They consider accessibility needs and select tools and processes that ensure everyone’s voice is heard.
  3. Taking responsibility: Learners are encouraged to make meaningful contributions to collaborative projects by delivering what they commit to, and by speaking up rather than going with the flow.
  4. Getting unstuck: Collaborative processes often stall due to mistakes, conflicts, and disagreement about goals. This program equips learners with simple strategies to move through these moments while maintaining psychological safety.
