The Roadmap To Engagement:

Five facilitated sessions comprise CultureSmithingTM, each addressing a Pillar of Rules-Based Organizational Cultures, creating a trust-centric approach in its place.

1: Establish Identity:

 

A shared identity is essential when it comes to aligning your culture. We'll first identify the common goals and vision that guide the entire team. Next, we make sure everyone on the team understands and follows the norms that support that vision. Last but not least, we outline how to manage key relationships and connections to keep you moving in the right direction.

2: WorkplaceEQ:

 

Establishing EQ is all about first recognizing and understanding your personal characteristics, both positive and hidden, that affect how you work with others. Then we will teach you how to identify and confront the beliefs that might be holding you back. As a last step, we'll align individual efforts with team goals in order to foster unity and cohesion.

3: Trust & Psychological Safety:

 

Our first step will be to help you understand the difference between trust and safety, as well as how they affect relationships on a team. The next step will be to learn how trust encourages risk-taking, while safety ensures that risks can be taken without fear of negative consequences. The result is an environment that fosters growth, where team members feel comfortable expressing themselves and taking risks.

4: Reframing Feedback

 

The first step is to explain the concept of power dynamics, providing insight into influence and authority within a team and how these factors affect interactions. The next step will be to learn new approaches to viewing failure and success in order to promote learning and growth rather than punishing or overly celebrating them. Finally, you'll cultivate leadership strategies that respond effectively to both failure and success, supporting team development.

5: Belonging

 

First, you will learn how to promote a sense of belonging by emphasizing the importance of each member of the team.Using psychological insights, you will ensure that team members feel noticed, understood, and valued. Lastly, you will implement strategies to ensure that team members feel deeply connected to the team and a valuable member of the group.

The Tools We Use To ‘Smith’ Cultures:

Several organizations support our mission of transforming workplaces into centers of emotional wellbeing. For most organizations, reimagining their culture is the first step. We have been able to help them because of our collective experience and expertise which has resulted in the creation of the following tools:

The Cognitive Colours

 

The Cognitive Colours provide leaders with a better understanding of their team members' individual traits and tendencies, which are crucial aspects of their self-identity. Through this baseline understanding, they can connect each individual's self-identity with the shared identity created through the CultureSmithing process, creating the type of behavioural alignment that no other service can match.

By identifying those misleading approaches, you can counteract them and guide your team toward real success.Through this change, you will boost team cooperation and performance and reduce turnover and constant supervision, creating a productive work environment.

Uncommon Competencies

MoodSwing

 

MoodSwing transforms potential obstacles into growth channels by revealing the secret language of emotions. We use these emotions to create a vibrant, responsive, and positive workplace as part of our flagship CultureSmithing service. This creates trust-based accountability, a sense of belonging, and emotionally stronger teams. [Learn More].

IMG_8518-compressed

CultureSmithing's magic lies in its ability to quantify both Culture and Competence in measurable ways. Creating the right team without this can be like randomly placing pieces in a puzzle, resulting in costly trial and error. Creating benchmarks for both culture and competence allows you to categorize individual contributors into four distinct groups (A, B, C, and D Players), which allows you to build a cohesive and effective team.

IMG_8621-compressed

 

How many A Players do you have? On paper, they look the same as C Players. Quantifying your culture is the only way to know for sure. Find out how easy this can be with a free demo.
