US10 votesI learned about the different stages of team development, and how to avoid conflicts/obstacles within those stages.

The dynamics were very good because they kept us engaged while allowing us to reflect on our own leadership experience and learn from those reflections.

I learned the importance of managing your time compared to your energy. Often I saw the two as one and the same, but this workshop helped me see the important difference.
