How Great Teams Work Better Together PT. 1

Trust is the most important factor in culture activation. It’s the cornerstone of education, and it’s what makes people want to do something. It’s how you get people to take that one step. Trust is the foundation if anything else is to thrive.   Larissa and Adam co-founded MakeTeamWork.com, a global company specialising in team development, culture change, and visual collaboration. MakeTeamWork, founded in 2020 and located in Amsterdam, has created a relevant array of services and an impressive client list by developing and facilitating unique learning experiences that help teams build trust and accomplish amazing outcomes.

They are thought leaders in applying agility, creativity, and the science of Team & Organisational Development into workplaces around the globe, in person and remotely. Their Quirky Owl program, discussed in the podcast, aims to equip leaders to be authentic while having the tools to develop their high-performing teams.
