Executive coach and trainer Denyse Burns led us in discussion on how to enhance team performance.  We assessed our team strengths and weaknesses and developed strategies for leveraging our strengths and overcoming our weaknesses. We also discussed ‘rules of engagement’ for our team – guidelines for how our team should work together to enhance performance. It was clear that the same skills we use when working with individuals who have experienced trauma (e.g., being fully present, looking at the situation from their perspective) can be just as valuable when working with our own team members. For future sessions, we hope that the insights gained here will allow every member of the Institute to become more effective in managing teams and organizations to deliver services in their communities, particularly to those members who have experienced trauma.
