Tom has a history of creating engagement – he has a background as a primary school teacher and brings learning from this career into how you create participatory environments at work. He tunes into his employees, like he would the children, to gauge the levels of engagement and if he needs to switch up his style.
His style is humble and subtle and it is hard to find his ego. He also quirky and fun and shares how music and humour have played a role in certain ceremonies that the team participate in such as retrospective sprint reviews.
He shares how they have moved from start-up to scale up and how they have worked to understand and create their mission as they have evolved.
You will take away:
• Helping employees develop enquiring minds
• Their key operating principles (behaviours) and how to they are helping them stick
• Creating ceremonies and rituals that encourage fun and thoughtful working practices
Marina brings an infectious level of vibrancy and dynamism with a successful background in television. But this is a world she stepped out of because she wanted to work in an environment with more safety. Something she focuses on building as a leader.
Everything Marina does as a leader is about communication and putting her metaphorical arm around others - creating those safe spaces. For her, open dialogue is the vital to connection, understanding and safety. This relates practically in terms of meetings, offsites, personality testing – she wants to tune in and read individuals and help bring them together.
