This one runs as an interactive workshop: the hour includes exercises your colleagues do themselves, not only a talk.
In a few interactive, playful exercises Rod shows people how to switch from ‘Yes, but’ to ‘Yes, and’. Learn how to use active listening techniques to better communicate with others and build on each others ideas.
Rod uses renowned techniques from improv to facilitate leadership and talent development. The result? A more pleasant way of working together and better communication. Also, in this session you will gain a broader perspective on discovering new possibilities and will learn to feel more comfortable when making a mistake. The online version of this session contains 2 breakout rooms.
During the expert session, Rod Ben Zeev engages the audience by discussing the impact of mindset on growth and adaptation, using examples from renowned figures and interactive exercises. He introduces the concept of psychological safety in building high-performing teams and encourages participants to reflect on their own work environments.
Throughout the session, Rod invites participants to join breakout rooms for activities that promote active listening, creativity, and connection-building. Additionally, he shares stories that highlight the importance of a growth mindset, particularly when dealing with mistakes.
Embrace challenges and see effort as essential for personal growth and development. Recognize your potential to learn new skills and adapt, like Michael Jordan and Thomas Edison did in their careers.
Create an environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing ideas and taking risks, leading to innovation and better decision-making. Use tactics such as active listening, understanding problems, and fostering connections to build psychological safety within your teams.
Allow ideas to flourish by being in the "yes" mode and using active listening to stimulate a second wave of creativity. Role play and think outside the box to generate innovative solutions to complex problems.
In this expert session led by Rod Ben Zeev, the theme revolves around the significance of mindset in personal growth and development. Rod distinguishes between fixed and growth mindsets, emphasizing that everyone encounters both throughout life.
Individuals with a fixed mindset view abilities as predetermined and unchangeable, while those with a growth mindset embrace challenges and view effort as essential for improvement.
Throughout the session, Rod shares inspiring examples of figures like Michael Jordan and Thomas Edison, demonstrating how their resilience and dedication led to remarkable achievements. He underscores the importance of recognizing the value of hard work and embracing the learning process.
Additionally, Rod introduces the Mentimeter app as a tool for interactive activities, encouraging participants to reflect on their mindsets and aspire towards growth.
Rod shares insights from Google's Project Aristotle, revealing that psychological safety, structure, dependability, meaning, and impact are crucial components of high-performing teams. He encourages participants to consider these factors in their work environments and teams to foster a more productive and collaborative workplace culture.
The session continues with Rod discussing the importance of psychological safety in fostering innovation and creativity within groups. He highlights that individuals may hesitate to share ideas in larger groups due to feelings of psychological danger, leading to groupthink or a blaming culture.
In contrast, when psychological safety is present, individuals feel comfortable admitting mistakes, leading to better decision-making and innovation.
To create a psychologically safe environment, Rod suggests practices like assuming that people will be late to meetings and giving everyone an opportunity to speak at the beginning of a call. These practices help ensure equal representation in group discussions, allowing ideas to thrive.
He also emphasizes the importance of understanding problems before jumping into solutions and encourages thoughtful problem-solving.
Rod shares anecdotes from renowned figures like NASA and conductor Benjamin Zander, demonstrating how fostering a psychologically safe environment can lead to remarkable achievements. As the session concludes, Rod emphasizes the importance of shifting perspective from shame to pride when dealing with mistakes.
From the survey every participant gets when the session ends, in their own words.
Wonderful lecture with many practical examples. I loved it and will share the recording with my team.
I was a bit sceptical at first but I found the session to be inspiring. Thank you very much.
AMAZING session! Thank you so much for this!
Best session yet - Rod is interactive, engaging, and everyone had a ton of fun!!
Such a fun interactive lecture - loved it! I think it is great to go into any session without judging things negatively. To be open-minded, encouraging, to listen, and to continue even when it is not going in the direction one had in mind.
Such an engaging session! Thank you both!
New ideas on brainstorming in a group. New point of view on teamwork and added value in a team and at work. Perfect and very interesting lecture. Thanks
Really good session and a very good speaker it was funny and helpful with some things to see it clearer thanks a lot
It is interactive, and the block above says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.
In a normal Teams meeting, yes, and in Zoom or Google Meet just as well. Not in Teams Town Hall or Teams Live Event: those are broadcast formats where the audience cannot be seen or heard, and this session depends on people joining in. If that is the only option you have, tell us and we will host it on our own platform instead.
In a few interactive, playful exercises Rod shows people how to switch from ‘Yes, but’ to ‘Yes, and’. Learn how to use active listening techniques to better communicate with others and build on each others ideas. It is built for a general working audience: no prior knowledge is assumed, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.
A workshop. The description of this session says so itself: the hour includes exercises and activities that participants do, not only an expert speaking. It still runs live and online, for as many colleagues as you want to invite.
Rod Ben Zeev is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.4 out of 5, across 1,992 responses, and rate Rod personally 4.6 out of 5.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Rod, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
How do you give and receive feedback? We often find it difficult to tell someone what we really think.
