From Conflict To Collaboration With Erica Marx

This workshop with Erica Marx is part 1 of the 4 part HSC Workshop Series: Leadership Toolkit.

Teams today face tough challenges—shifts in leadership, competing priorities, or unresolved tensions. These moments often surface important questions and conflicts, signaling opportunities for deeper alignment and stronger collaboration.

This workshop gives you tools to embrace those moments: to build trust, open up conversations, and focus on what really matters. Through a series of activities, you’ll surface what’s most important in your team, build trust, and align for better collaboration. Whether you’re a leader or team member, you’ll leave with tools and insights to create lasting impact within your organization.

Bring a specific goal or challenge you’re facing to this session. Through activities, group discussions, and skill-building exercises, you’ll leave with fresh ideas, practical tools, and renewed confidence in what your team can achieve together.

By the end of this workshop, you will:
-Map your team’s dynamics using Amy Edmondson’s psychological safety framework to understand where your team stands and identify shifts needed for better performance.
-Build trust and connection with activities that reveal strengths, foster openness, and create a sense of shared purpose you can bring back to your team.
-Explore challenges as opportunities by separating people from content. Surface the underlying issues driving tensions and practice strategies for productive, shared problem-solving.
