Diversity is strength! ?
A beautiful mix of cultures, nationalities, experiences, knowledge, skills, backgrounds, and upbringings came together during our department's Offsite in Estonia last week. This annual event (our department's 3rd Spring Offsite) is one of my favourites. We spend a week learning and bonding as a team.
?? Once again, it confirmed?that this team is capable of anything!
From creating Oscar-worthy short films to whipping up Michelin-star-worthy dinners, these folks are talented.
?? Diversity truly is a superpower.?Be open-minded and embrace it. Joining a multicultural team can be challenging at first, but learning about your colleagues, their culture and working style is incredibly rewarding.
?? Spending time with your coworkers is truly important.?I used to avoid these events because I didn't see the point, but I changed my perspective a few years ago and started participating. It truly makes a difference when you start building relationships with your colleagues. We're all human, after all, and fostering these connections in the workplace is amazing, not only for personal well-being but for more efficient collaboration as well!
?? We all completed the CliftonStrengths test and reviewed everyone's top five strengths. All 34 strengths were represented! ?? Learning about each strength, its blind spots, and how it manifests in daily work was fascinating. Definitely recommend doing this with your team!
Grateful to be part of this international and very multicultural team?

1 个月What a fantastic initiative Nashville Soccer Club! Investing in team culture is crucial for long-term success and is often overlooked - leaning more on strategy instead. What were some key takeaways of the participants from the retreat? How does the team plan to keep the conversation about culture alive after this retreat?
