Episode Synopsis

A big question on the minds of organizations is how to rebuild culture and foster effective collaboration. Given that trust is an essential ingredient for a team to work at its best, it’s important to create opportunities to build that trust. Yet, it’s not easy to do. Enter Sally Page, co-founder of UK-based WorkTripp, a company she refers to as the “Airbnb” of team offsites. In this episode, we explore being intentional about event design, the value in cycles of work, and how to not just get people together but to have them pulling in the same direction.Sally is an experienced leader of high-performing distributed teams, and WorkTripp is the platform she wished she had much earlier on. Previously VP of Content & Partnerships at Series-C, ScaleUp, Blinkist, and a Senior Director at Audible, she made a habit of connecting big thinkers - like non-fiction authors and coaches - with avid learners. At remote social enterprise, Hoxby, she helped businesses ensure they were fit for the future of work as Managing Director of Futureproofing.CHAPTERS00:06:00 The “Airbnb for offsites”00:10:30 Cycles of work00:13:30 Building connection and relationship00:15:15 Focus on one thing00:16:00 Get yourself out of the normal environment00:18:52 A TED talk is not the same experience00:22:30 Integrating time for connection00:24:00 Motivation and psychological safety are linked00:25:47 We need all the emojis00:27:50 Fostering connection00:30:18 Start with leadership teams00:33:39 Onboarding cohorts00:34:00 Breaking bread and making fire00:39:15 Scaffolding for diversity00:40:42 The value of a third spaceWorkTrippBlinkistAmy EdmonsonHappy Space Podcast: Ep 18 (coming April 10th!)HoxbyContact Sally Page / WorkTrippIMAGE CREDITSTeam at Offsite - BodySwaps at Elmley Nature Reserve - credit WorkTrippClare in musical - credit Clare KumarClare on The Social - credit The SocialSally Page headshot - credit WorkTrippMan on park bench - credit Depositphotos Sally Page and Sophie Bailey - credit WorkTrippWorkTripp, Bedruthen - credit WorkTrippLearn more about and follow Sally and WorkTripp:InstagramLinkedInWebsite😀😃😄😁😆Highly sensitive executive coach and productivity catalyst, Clare Kumar, explores the intersection of productivity and inclusivity continually asking how can we invite the richest contribution from all.
