30-minute virtual keynoteThe myth of high-performing teams (and other teamwork fallacies)

For more than 15 years Edwin has worked with senior teams across industries ranging from utilities and mining to aged care and community services. In this candid and thought-provoking keynote, he shares what he has learned from helping teams navigate complex challenges and examines the common assumptions that often undermine team effectiveness.

Topics include:

  • Why the idea of your “first team” may be a fallacy
  • Why impact, not performance, should be the ultimate goal
  • How the nature of your team’s work should determine the team development approach you take
  • Why shared learning experiences often strengthen teams more effectively than traditional team-building activities
  • Why many teams remain unclear about their true purpose

These insights have universal relevance across industries and sectors. You will leave with practical ideas you can immediately apply to build greater clarity, alignment and impact within your teams.
