Learn From Your Team 🤜🤛

Inspired by the T.O.T.E model

This template is a framework to help team members to learn from each other. It is inspired by the T.O.T.E model (Test/Operate/Test/Exit), used in NLP. It is a five-steps workshop where people will have to describe how they deal with a task and compare their results with others. It is recommended to invite 2-4 participants and to run a sharing session at the end of your workshop to compare results. The workshop can be done in 1 hour, depending on the number of participants and the length of the sharing session.

When to use it?

Collaboration in teams can be difficult. We use a lot of templates to help team members to solve problems and build products or services, but we don’t work a lot on personal growth. The T.O.T.E. model is a fabulous tool to help people evaluate their strategy in accomplishing their tasks. When it comes to a team, members can discover strategies from other members in the same context. I turned this into a workshop which will help teams to understand what works, or not, and learn what can be done to improve behaviors and get better results.
