28. Build a Better Team through Empathetic Storytelling with Janna Browning

Have you ever thought team building was cheesy and a total waste of time?

But what if it could be truly impactful for your business and team (minus the cheese factor)? 

If it could help your team understand one another better, be more empathetic, collaborate more effectively, and problem solve together, without always running to you?

What if it could be thoughtful, intentional, and even fun? Yes, I said FUN!

If that sounds like your cuppa tea, then join me and my dear friend and colleague, Janna Browning of Integrative Storyworks for this exciting episode of The Impact Ripple podcast! 

In this conversation, Janna and I explore the essence of trust-building, what it is and how to build it, while sharing a unique team-building experience that you’ve likely never seen before.

I recently experienced Janna’s powerful team-building workshop and I couldn’t wait to share it with you, so I’m thrilled she agreed to join me on the show for a chat!

We discuss the importance of avoiding surface-level interactions by going deeper with our teams to build long-lasting, empathetic connections through Janna’s work with her fascinating interactive storytelling process.

We also dive into how this work is so important in the ever-evolving landscape post-COVID, as well as how it applies to diverse groups, from leadership teams to companies dealing with silos and cross-functional challenges.

Together, we help you envision a workplace where your team is more empathetic and engaged, able to resolve conflict on their own, and are no longer leaving for something better. 

In this episode, you’ll:

• Discover the art of empathetic listening and its role in reducing turnover.
• Explore the concept of embodied empathy and its transformative effects on workplace culture.
• Learn about cross-cultural conflict resolution and building lasting connections within your team.
• Uncover the secrets to creating a positive workplace culture through the magic of storytelling.
