Superteam: How to Sync Your Team for Outsized Success. Organizations today are facing increasing pressure to build high-performing teams, yet studies show that many are falling short. One major factor that contributes to this struggle is a lack of chemistry and shared mindset among team members, which can account for up to 46% of a team's unexplained success. However, there is a solution to this problem: synchrony.
Synchrony is a powerful form of embodied and extended cognition that can take team dynamics to a whole new level. Teams that are in sync perform at a higher level, showing increased levels of trust, collaboration, connectedness, empathy, and subjective liking. This leads to increased performance, agility, and a healthier work environment with less stress, greater productivity, and less burnout.
In this presentation, renowned futurist, executive coach, and co-founder of Transformative Tech.org, Nichol Bradford, will share her expertise on the cutting edge of neuroscience, digital transformation, and human transformation. She shares actionable strategies for how to increase performance, innovation, and creativity by leveraging breakthrough science and new technology to increase team synchrony. Groups will learn both digital and analog ways for leaders to develop their full capacity for sync, and how companies that prioritize learning how to team sync will also win the talent war by retaining and engaging top performers.
