Jenny Nichols Last updated 
In your time together, feel free to discuss the questions below, continue discussions using our breakout room prompts from our live session, and/or work through the scenarios below.

Discussion questions
  • Discussion prompts from our masterclass: https://cnpy.is/lingoda-live-session-8
  • Sometimes big changes can negatively impact your team’s ability to focus on the work. Consider this in your current reality. If your team was struggling in their day-to-day, what phrases could you use to tie their work into something bigger, in order to help them see their importance + impact?
  • What is your personal reaction to the change happening in your organization? Despite this, what tone do you want to set for your team? How can you slow down + think big to bridge this gap?
Scenarios
  • The company is in a high growth phase. Everything is moving quickly + there are more clients/projects than ever. How can you make sure that your team feels adequately supported, so that they don’t burn out, ‘quiet’ quit, or leave the team?
  • There has been a change in policy (i.e., commission structure, in-person hours, etc.) and you want to be both understanding + firm in how this will be communicated to your team so that there isn’t undo stress or underlying frustration. Practice how you could do this using a policy change you have personally experienced.
