Introducing MCD for Teams

Relationships are the lifeblood of teams and organisations, with care-based, purpose-driven organisations recognising and prioritising the quality of relationships as the essential ingredient to organisational development, enjoyment and success.

When relationship ruptures and tension between team members are left unresolved, it’s easy for resentment, mistrust and grudges to infect your team. The result is a working environment that feels stifling, unmotivating or even outright hostile. Eventually, everyone suffers and effectiveness and productivity drop.

While moments of disconnect and conflict are inevitable, we can get better at responding to them and turn them into growth opportunities, enhancing creativity and collective intelligence.

From the framework of MCD Teams, relating with skill and compassion is not a mysterious woo-woo notion. We offer clear concepts and skills that are practical and can be learnt step by step, and when they are, our relationships become a whole lot better.

Team performance, and hence organisational success and impact, hinge on team members' ability to communicate effectively, establish and nurture relationships, resolve conflict, meaningfully contribute and effectively collaborate.

A relationship-savvy culture is crucial for any connected, collaborative, high-performing team. In cultivating a supportive work environment built on emotional safety, trust, belonging, mutual accountability and agency, you enable your team to collaborate with focus and effectiveness.

Learning and developing relationship competencies, communication skills and emotional intelligence is a gift for everyone in your workplace. Upon completing our training, your team will be empowered and competent in the three pillars of MCD Teams:

1.       Effective Team Communication

2.       Conflict Management and Resolution

3.       Team Collaboration and Performance

Integrating MCD Teams into your team and organisation is a revolutionary step toward creating a culture of understanding, connection, respect, collaboration, care and impact.
