Conversations for the Workplace

Communication in the workplace is the cornerstone of a positive work environment. 

‘Conversations: an inspirational game’ is a cooperative, interactive tool designed to enhance relationships through better communication in the workplace. This exciting ‘workshop in a box’ is an excellent team building process that supports the professional development of all those who choose to play.

The game is proven to have a positive impact on the culture of the workplace by promoting conversations that matter between all participants. There are two unique ways your workplace can benefit from ‘Conversations’.

1. A professional development program on Communicating in the Workplace using ‘Conversations’ as the foundation to improve open listening, effective communication and genuine dialogue within the team.

2. You can distribute ‘Conversations’ to all employees as a resource to provide ongoing development and create a real change in the way each person communicates at work and home.

What a wonderful way to create real communications in the workplace.

How will your workplace benefit?

  • Improved listening skills to ascertain your clients needs
  • Respectful communication between all staff members
  • Create a positive change with focused communication
  • Utlilise the skills and knowledge of all people involved in the workplace
  • Balance the pressures between work and home.
  • Create a positive change in the culture and ethos of your workplace

Ongoing Process

This is not a “quick fix” rather than an ongoing process.  As such the Conversations Corporate package can include facilitation training for staff so the game can become part of your overall strategy on communication within and across depatmental groups.

When we played the game “Conversations” I was amazed how it opened up conversations between people who didn’t know each other before playing. Days and weeks late people were still talking about the event and continued to talk to each other. At the time I had not long left an large organisation that was split on functional lines eg. Managers, Supervisors, Clerks, Sales staff, Engineers,Technicians and field workers. Few of these people in these groups had any time for people in other groups nor did they ever get to know each other and establish lasting friendship. The Conversations game creates an ideal situation for different groups of people in large organisations to break down the barriers that seem to quickly develop. When this happens productivity increases and other improvements to the work environment occur. Concequently I would recommend this game to any organisation that want’s it staff to really work together and achieve a high level of performance.

I work with Learning Annex and am their Calgary representative as well a new larger company that is in Canada called the Power Within. They are the people that brought Pres. Bill Clinton to Canada to speak last fall. We have an author speaking at least once a month. Barry is one of the best speakers we have enjoyed at our service. His average guy attitude put everyone at ease and he helped us go through a little exercise in our service that had everyone talking about how much they enjoyed it. As people talked from there hearts and we got to connect with each other on a deeper level.
