What makes an excellent company gathering? Is it the food or drinks served? Maybe the decor or activities? Or is there something more underneath that makes it memorable and sparks positive change?

My special guest today is organizational psychologist and communication strategist Lindsey Caplan and she’s simplifying how to create an excellent company gathering. She calls it “The Gathering Effect” and it’s all about getting the strategy and communications underneath a gather right as your first step to maximizing your efforts and make change stick, no matter what type of gathering you are planning - a team retreat, a company holiday party, an all-hands meeting, or even a quick brainstorm huddle. 

Here’s how. 

My special guest today is Lindsey Caplan and she’s simplifying how to create an excellent company gathering.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

  • What a “gathering” is and can be in a work environment and why it’s so important & timely for companies to get right, especially now
  • Why studies show that 70% of organizational changes fail and how to avoid that for your organization when planning your next gathering
  • There are 4 effects that a gathering can produce - how to distinguish which is right to help you achieve your goals
    • Gain compliance
    • Inform people
    • Entertain people
    • Engage people
  • When engagement is key, how to create it in your next gathering and what the common pitfalls most People & Culture, Employee Engagement and/or HR people face in the planning process
  • …and ultimately, what “scripting”  is as it relates to creating a company gathering and the three elements to keep in mind to ensure success
    • Framing: How to get buy-in from the audience
    • Space: How to help others absorb the material
    • Structure: How to help people get from A to B
  • You can do it, I believe in you… it’s time to simplify!

    Q: Are you ready to create an excellent company gathering? If yes, this one is for you.

    It’s time to #DoTheThing
