Lead the team nobody wants to leave
Standpoint Summit for Changemakers
The hands-on leadership development program designed to help you build a team culture of openness, trust, and confident communication. Transform your team into a group of collaborative, innovative changemakers.
What’s the difference between a high-performance team where everyone brings their best, each individual is committed to the team, and innovative solutions are the norm . . .
. . . and a team that spins its wheels, where people passively await instructions, resentment simmers, and difficult conversations are avoided?
It’s not about hiring “better people.”
It’s about building a better culture. A culture where your people can become better people together.
You need a culture that transforms even bystanders into changemakers.
What is Standpoint Summit for Changemakers?
a hands-on, interactive, workshop that includes virtual learning, group events, and subject matter experts to provide your team with a guided learning experience that moves people along the continuum from bystander towards changemaker and teaches your team members to:
Thrive in ambiguity
Most important problems and opportunities don’t usually have clear right or wrong answers. Teams and individuals that thrive in ambiguity have a competitive edge.
Confidently take a unique stand
Creative magic happens when each teammate establishes their own thoughtful standpoint and contributes their unique voice to innovative, effective solutions.
Discuss with courage and care
Lean in to difficult topics and build relationships along the way. Care about the problem, and especially care about the people.
Respectfully disagree
It’s not about getting others to agree with you, but about understanding where your views differ, and creating a better multi-faceted solution as a result.
Standpoint Summit for Changemakers includes:
-
Standpoint Building Workshop
Help each individual establish their own informed stance on the topic with curated content and learning paths for your team. Don’t be influenced by your echo chamber. Our workshop will help you (and your team members) confidently find your own informed stance.
-
Ask the Experts
Your team will pick a topic. We’ll find subject matter experts with differing opinions and bring them to your team. You and your teammates can ask them anything in these interactive AMA sessions. Get more clarity on the topic and be more informed on where you stand as individuals and as a team.
-
Custom Debate Event
We’ll bring subject matter experts with competing standpoints to debate a topic of your teams choosing. Start building and refining your own standpoint as you hear the best arguments and data in direct competition.
-
Group Coaching
Your team will participate in group coaching sessions using your chosen topic to help team members develop the 6 Characteristics of Changemakers. Learn skills for sharing your views in a way that is both confident and caring.
-
Empathy and Storytelling
Join targeted empathy-building workshops to develop soft skills that make up a healthy team culture. Learn to tell personal stories that affect your standpoints in order to help others understand you and build connections. Practice listening with care, communicating understanding, and asking questions courageously and respectfully.
-
Take Action
It’s one thing to have a stance; it’s another thing to do something about it. For true changemakers, continually making thoughtful, informed contributions has become second nature. To build this “bias for contribution” each participant will pledge to take a specific action that’s authentically aligned with their own standpoint.
With the Standpoint Summit for Changemakers program
You’ll create teammates who can courageously take a stand with clarity, confidence, and care.
You can lead a team where everyone:
Speaks openly and respectfully about hard topics.
Understands their own biases and shows willingness to listen and learn.
Treats differences not as threats, but as opportunities.
Thrives in ambiguity and builds momentum with others in thinking up innovative solutions.
Uses challenging disagreements as a way to build understanding and team unity.
The Standpoint Summit for Changemakers program is designed for courageous team leaders who want to build a culture of openness that gives them a strategic edge.
Standpoint Summit for Changemakers takes each member of the team on a guided learning journey to take their own stand on a topic that matters. As your team members know where each other stand, they can empathize and be more considerate all of the unique stances that may exist within the group as they work together, making your team more fun, safe, and united. They will accelerate their personal and professional growth in the 6 Characteristics of Changemakers:
CLARITY, CONFIDENCE, COURAGE, COMMUNICATION, CARING, COMMITMENT
Deepening these traits will change everything for your team and the individuals on the team. They build closer relationships of trust within your team so that they are resilient to take on even the most challenging problems.
