CHAPTER 10

" and we have  three guest speaker let's welcome our first guest speaker Ms. ava  Grace Kensington!" nagsisipalakpakan kami ng tumuntong ito sa stage.

" woah.. Ang Ganda niya dude.." a guy said beside me.
" she's pretty girl I bet my boyfriend na Yan"  the girl in front of me na nakatulalang nakatingin dito.
" diba siya yung kasama kanina ng isang  guy na gwapo rin.." parang kinikikilig na litanya nito.

That’s a pretty previlage " Good afternoon, everyone! I'm thrilled to be here with all of you today as part of our team-building event. My name is ava  Grace Kensington and I'm  5  years of experience in organizational development and human resources. I specialize in enhancing teamwork, communication, and collaboration in the workplace . I have worked with various organizations and teams, helping them improve their teamwork and achieve their goals.  Today, I will be sharing valuable insights and practical tips on fostering effective teamwork and enhancing collaboration in the workplace. I'm excited to discuss this important topic with all of you. and i believe that effective teamwork is the foundation for success in any work environment. 

Let's start by asking a question. How many of you have ever faced a challenge at work that required you to work as a team? "she show hand gesture." I'm sure all of you have! Today, I want to talk to you about the power of effective teamwork and how it can positively impact your work environment.
As I reflect on my own experiences, I've realized that successful teams are built on a foundation of trust, communication, and collaboration. When team members trust each other and communicate openly, it leads to better collaboration and problem-solving. It fosters a supportive and inclusive work culture where everyone feels valued and heard.

Now, let's dive into some practical techniques that can help you strengthen your team dynamics. First, practice active listening. It means being fully present and attentive when someone is speaking, without interrupting or thinking about your response. It shows respect and builds trust.

Second, clarify roles and responsibilities. When everyone knows their role in a team and what is expected of them, it reduces confusion and promotes accountability. It ensures that everyone is aligned and working towards the same goal.

Third, encourage diversity of thought. Embrace different perspectives and ideas within the team, even if they differ from your own. It fosters creativity and innovation, and leads to better decision-making.

To help you practice these techniques, let's break into groups and do an activity that will allow you to apply what you've learned. Here's how it works:

Divide into teams of 2 members each. Ideally, each team should have a mix of different roles and expertise levels to encourage diversity and collaboration.

Each team will be given a set of materials, including   Building Bridges" activity:

Popsicle sticks or craft sticks
Glue or tape
String or yarn
Scissors
Rulers or measuring tapes
Markers or pens (for optional decoration)

Any additional materials that you might want to add based on the specific requirements of the activity (e.g., small weights for testing load-bearing capacity)
Please ensure that each team has enough supplies to complete the activity successfully. Let's get ready to build some bridges!   ], to build a bridge that can span a designated gap or distance.

The goal is to work together as a team to construct the most efficient and effective bridge within a specified time limit of [   30 minutes    ]. Each team will need to communicate, plan, and execute their bridge-building strategy, considering factors such as stability, load-bearing capacity, and aesthetics.

Once the time limit is up, we'll evaluate the bridges based on their functionality, creativity, and teamwork demonstrated during the process.

We'll conclude with a debriefing session, where we'll discuss the key learnings from the activity and how they relate to our team dynamics and collaboration in the workplace.
