Building a high performing team

Imagine a team who all leap out of bed every morning, excited about the day ahead. The reality is often different. Increased workloads, constant change and firefighting operational issues leads to overworking, competing objectives and tension in a team. Communication under pressure is even more vital. Jude explores what's not being said in the team. She reveals the 12 hidden dynamics of non-verbal behaviour that impact all teams and explains why the quality of your communication, as well as your energy and non-verbal behaviour is the key to optimal team performance. She draws on real life stories of working with her herd of horses to demonstrate the importance of building strong relationships and engaging teams through free will rather than force.

"Not only was Jude's presentation engaging and inspiring, it also provoked stimulating discussion. Jude has a rare ability to clearly articulate complex information, often involving paradigms of both strategic context and emotional/behavioural content"
