Working With Teams In The New Age
Testimonial by: Vasanta Rapaka, Associate Director, Cognisant
A high impact program using Conversations and Somatics
Now life is moving back to the pre-covid times. Some organisations have started work at their physical locations while some are planning the hybrid model and others have shifted totally to virtual offices. Each of these situations have their pros and cons.
While managers struggle to trust the capability and capacity of their teams, they also have deadlines to meet which causes them stress. While some are loving the work from home model, many are waiting to go back to work as they are missing the social contact.
While some prefer to switch off the camera during a virtual meeting, some feel conversations are so much easier when you are in front of the other, when you can see their bodies and can communicate with them more effectively.
Some have gone into ‘I am an introvert’ mode where they feel it’s better to not interact with people. Going back to a physical office atmosphere may become a challenge for them.
In all these situations, many organisations are struggling to complete deadlines, fight productivity issues, reduce the stress on employees, increase the quality of their product/service, have efficient work flow.
Here is a program which will help them work on the above issues at the same time work at creating a bond between the employees.

Methodology
While this two day program will be largely conversation based, it will also include somatic practices.
Somatics
‘Somatics’ is derived from a Greek word ‘somatikos’, which signifies the living body in it’s wholeness. The human body has immense intelligence and through specific somatic (body) practices we tap into this vast intelligence that can help us develop new habits of living which will in-turn give us richer experiences at work and home.
Somatic Sessions will be interweaved here.

Why I Create?
Because we understand humans are beings of habit and tend to go back to what they have practised all their lives.
Because we understand that learning happens only when new neural pathways are created and to create new neural pathways, new actions need to be implemented over and over again and for that to happen we need to see things differently!
And also because we have an experience of working with individuals and organisations & we love to enable people grow and expand their world of possibilities.
