Teams today face tough challenges—shifts in leadership, competing priorities, or unresolved tensions. These moments often surface important questions and conflicts, signaling opportunities for deeper alignment and stronger collaboration.
This workshop gives you tools to embrace those moments: to build trust, open up conversations, and focus on what really matters. Through a series of activities, you’ll surface what’s most important in your team, build trust, and align for better collaboration. Whether you’re a leader or team member, you’ll leave with tools and insights to create lasting impact within your organization.
By the end of this workshop, you will:
-
Map your team’s dynamics using Amy Edmondson’s psychological safety framework to understand where your team stands and identify shifts needed for better performance.
-
Build trust and connection with activities that reveal strengths, foster openness, and create a sense of shared purpose you can bring back to your team.
-
Explore challenges as opportunities by separating people from content. Surface the underlying issues driving tensions and practice strategies for productive, shared problem-solving.
-
Unlock fresh perspectives through processes that amplify creativity and integrate diverse viewpoints. Learn how to navigate differences and turn them into strengths.
-
Clarify actionable steps by applying these tools to a real challenge or goal. Leave with practical strategies to help your team move forward with alignment and focus.
Bring a specific goal or challenge you’re facing to this session. Through activities, group discussions, and skill-building exercises, you’ll leave with fresh ideas, practical tools, and renewed confidence in what your team can achieve together.
From Conflict to Collaboration is the first of a four-part 'Leadership Toolkit' series, hosted by Human Services Coalition of Tompkins County in collaboration with Erica Marx, Munna Rubaii, Heidi Holtz, and Amy Kohut.

This was one of the best run, most engaging online programs I've ever participated in, and that gives me great confidence that using your strategies, I can do the same! The 5 steps provide a very helpful framework to stick to while conceptualizing my seminar, and power dynamics were something I was worried about before heading into this call.

The most valuable part was to ask the audience there goals so there’s buy in and the ability to weave that into the conversation/ content. It was amazing, sharing the slides and recording for subsequent reflection was super helpful. I wouldn’t change a thing. Awesome work.

The seamless, interactive (and fun!) way this session was managed was a real eye opener to the possibilities of greatly improving the online meeting experience. My biggest takeaway was the importance of improving the online meeting experience, not only from a technology perspective, but also from a planning perspective.
