About this Presentation:
---------------------------------
Why do some collaborative teams work together beautifully, while others can't stay in synch? In this session we'll explore the surprisingly simple factor that keeps teams aligned even when the pressure is on: paying attention.

- We'll investigate the neuroscience--the busy, tribal, biased, and reactive brain--that explains why team alignment is such a challenge.
- You'll learn simple techniques for developing the stable attention that is the prerequisite for team alignment.
- You'll take away specific practices to build the habit of attention for yourself and your team so you can stay aligned in the midst of workplace pressures and challenges.

In particular, we'll look at:
- Stable attention so your team can focus on what's important.
- Connectedness so your team can collaborate effectively.
- Open-Mindedness so your team can make good decisions that stick.
- Self-Awareness so your team can find resilience in the face of change.
