Amy Lynn Durham is interviewed by Dr. Katrina Burrus, MCC and discusses the following: What can leaders do to bring authentic connection and meaning to a "beer after work" team build? Given the current COVID-19 situation where everyone is physical distancing, how can we forge authentic connection via virtual meetings and even virtual happy hours? With the hundreds of employees that you've managed, what have you found has been the most effective way to bring diverse, competitive personalities into a more collaborative space? What have you done in the past when you had individuals that didn't get along, or didn't necessarily like each other on the team? What are some ways to set an intention to transform a team to becoming collaborative and supportive of each other? At what point did you discover that utilizing your expense budget on employees for a cocktail or dinner after work wasn't the most effective way to connect? Who is Amy Lynn Durham?
