  • In this replay, episode 8 of Building a Culture of Collaboration, we interview Grayson James. Grayson has been coaching executives, boards and senior management teams improve their collaborative business performance for over 30 years. He also facilitates organizational change initiatives and provides collaborative leadership education internationally through his consulting firm, Full Contact Institute (formerly Grayson James Consultants).

    Grayson’s approach is uncommon in that he weaves together his own leadership experience with principles from martial arts, meditation, tai chi and other mind-body disciplines, along with decades of experience as an executive coach. In his spare time, he studies and teaches the martial art of Aikido (in which holds a 6th degree black belt). His new book, Full Contact Performance: The Internal Art of Organizational Collaboration will be released on August 25th and is currently available for pre-order through any online or local bookstore.

  • In this replay, our first ever episode of Building a Culture of Collaboration, Kurtis Hewson shares a “Walk and Talk” strategy, as well as sample question cards described in the video - https://docs.google.com/document/d/14a2hxeaoCQZohhHb4kYODQLher6lnJea361nc6Hpl0k/edit?usp=sharing

    When building a culture of collaboration, engagement and connection are key. A Walk and Talk strategy not only promotes organizational wellness, but can also provide opportunity for connection and deeper conversation. When utilizing this strategy, there are three things every leader must consider:

    1) Determine the purpose
    What are you hoping to accomplish? Did you just return from a break or holiday and need a chance for the team to connect? Want an opportunity to reflect and share thoughts at the end of the meeting? Don't just do it "to get outside" (although that is a great side benefit)! Consider how the strategy can connect to the focus for your meeting or planning day.

    2) Provide questions or focus
    Let people know what guiding questions or topics they should be focusing on during their conversation. Consider giving them a questions card, such as the one shared in the video.

    3) Opportunity to respond upon return
    Consider how you will collect responses, insights or even further sharing upon return. Don't let the ideas that may have surfaced drift away - collect ideas generated.

    It is amazing how a change in scenery and activity can help to further develop strong connections vital for a culture of collaboration in your organization, department or team!
