    I often see teams engrossed by deadlines, governing structures, strategic plans, and KPIs. All good stuff. And yet the result of over focusing here can lead to unclear communication, festering tensions, and a whole lot of unnecessary drama. To do the work means also working on the team relationship. The behaviours and beliefs that create the ‘us' of a team fuel the work – that's where the magic happens. Ask the question: how do we work together?Co-create the answer: it reduces drama, inserts accountability, creates conditions for innovation, and clarifies team culture. Challenges and conflict are inevitable. Drama comes and goes. Taking the time to explore how you'll navigate that chaos together is crucial.

    We all get in the feels. Emotions are always present – but not always visible. Doing the work to make emotions visible allows us to collect data about ourselves and others, create healthy boundaries, and stand in a place of empathy. In this podcast, Saralyn is joined by artist, designer, graphic recorder, and so much more, Abby VanMuijen to talk about their Emotion Wheel – a tool that uses colour and language to help better understand how you're feeling and how to communicate those feelings to others.For exclusive prompts, tools, and resources to help you along your leadership journey, subscribe to our newsletter at https://www.holonleadership.org/contact/newsletter/. Follow Saralyn on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holon_leadership/?hl=en.Connect with Saralyn on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saralynhodgkin/.Need help navigating your leadership journey?
