Team Building, Planning and Facilitation

Maintaining a healthy team ecosystem that supports teamwork, collaboration  and engagement can be challenging for every team leader and manager.  

We all want to keep morale high and positive culture strong, but that’s hard to achieve in the high pressure environment of healthcare. 

Why facilitate a team day?

  • At times, teams need an opportunity to reset to build psychological safety and trust in order to maintain and enhance teamwork.

  • Teams benefit from psychologically safe facilitation and input to help elevate the dynamics to robust and resilient.

  • When team culture deteriorates, it impacts performance, productivity and engagement, even when team members individually are highly committed and have a strong work ethic.

  • Team facilitation programs support team members to feel energised and safe enough, to build their teamwork and bring an above the line approach to creating psychological safety and a thriving ecosystem. 

Michelle is extremely passionate about the value of thriving teams and employees to clinical services and to the workforce themselves.

Her approach supports team members to have the mental and emotional energy to create a roadmap for change at the level of team dynamics. She is keen to build the scaffolding, language and skills to build a psychologically safe and thriving team ecosystem. 

Michelle’s emotional intelligence, savvy group and team facilitation skills, her expertise in mental health, people and what helps people thrive creates powerful opportunities for deep change.

Examples of the types of programs Michelle delivered over the past year include:

A facilitated day on Systemic Advocacy for a group of health leaders from workplaces across Victoria looking to build their capacity to influence service delivery, funding and policy

A day of building psychological safety for a group of senior leaders in Justice Health NSW who recognised their teams need to build psychological safety but had no idea where to start and created a robust plan during the day

A self-leadership facilitated program for a team who was experiencing disempowerment due to organisational decisions and needed more focus on their own agency and influence.
