Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

It’s hard to be on a team and not be one of the team. By making interactions with teammates better, teams start to bond, creating high functioning work relationships that go far in crafting better products. Interactions like a simple conversation about the latest movie or lunch plans can go a long way to becoming a more involved with the team.

I’ll give tips and tricks to help inspire you to work with your teams and foster a relationship that will build quality into everything the team creates. We'll talk about the Rubber Duck trick and about finding opportunities to learn more about code, automation, what the team is doing. And about the interpersonal relationship building that you can do easily.

Attendees will become inspired to get closer to their teams and create those relationships that make everyone's job fun and create a team that's cohesive and works well together.
