What happens during a Hailey Group workshop?
We learn first through art, then participants apply what they are learning directly within your professional context.
90% of time spent in our workshops is active learning. Participants practice how to:
Observe deeply and extensively
Ask good questions
Listen to understand
Paraphrase, frame and link ideas across a conversation
Use and solicit evidence-based reasoning
And develop mindsets that enable them to:
Create psychological safety in teams
Hold multiple perspectives as possible
Gain comfort with ambiguity
Become more self-aware
Recognize and mitigate bias
Create a culture of reflection, learning and growth
Areas of Focus
We design workshops with and for your organization and specific groups, connecting the learning to your culture’s growth, shared language, and transformation.
Leadership
Solicit and value diverse perspectives, ask the right questions, listen attentively, link ideas, frame work as learning: leaders must be able to steward their employees’ growth. Our programs heighten self-awareness by helping leaders suspend judgment, take the perspectives of others, include and value all voices, and mitigate bias. Leaders pivot from being right-answer focused to sustaining a culture of authentic engagement, strategic thinking and creativity.
Teams
Psychological safety, bias mitigation, multiple perspectives, full engagement: research shows that these attributes are critical to team (and individual) success, but it's often easier said than done. We'll get your teams there with sticky, applicable tools and a shared language for inquiry and exploration. We can include analysis of a team’s communication and dynamics in real time, offering context-specific behaviors and techniques for improvement.
Innovation
Innovation requires critical thinking and rigorous, open discussion. The skills and mindsets we teach--observation and empathy, deep listening, comfort with ambiguity, thinking before landing, gaining all perspectives--are crucial to executing creativity. Our approach instills the behaviors and cognitive capacities fundamental to innovative teams. We support and advance human-centered design, UX, agile, LeanKit and more.
Well-Being at Work
In 2019 the W.H.O. identified workplace burnout as an occupational phenomenon. We cultivate reflective environments that promote trust, respect, a shared understanding of professional values and inter-and intra-personal connection. These sessions also model techniques for renewal, self-care and healthy communication.
