Meaningful conversations and connections in the workplace (and beyond) are the foundations for strong collaboration. Steward purposeful time together.
Cheyenne’s definition of “meaningful” in the context of group work is, “alive with things that people care about.” In her experience, this usually unites and inspires people when someone creates opportunities for these conversations and tends those sparks of life with care and skill.
Cheyenne designs and facilitates group experiences, retreats, and meetings with this in mind. This can include working with leaders to craft simple guidelines, set priorities, and develop strategies that help enable more meaningful conversations in the future.
