Gain some insights that are transferable from Google to your organisation

In this interactive session you will learn:

• Why effective teamwork is so important
• Which norms and behavior are crucial for an effective team
• How can leaders influence these norms and behaviors, and
• The logical consequences for hiring and onboarding

About Monika Gisler

Monika draws on over 10 years’ experience in Google sales management; learning & people development and program facilitation; to build personal skills, which produce lasting positive outcomes. She has successfully lead the peer-to-peer program for Google APAC and was the strategic partner for diversity & inclusion initiatives.

After 10 years, however, she felt very strongly that she wanted to share and spread her experience and knowledge with other organisations and help them thrive. So she decided to leave and set up her own people and culture consultancy. Include & Extend supports organisations to create cultures in which people feel psychologically safe, empowered and with a genuine sense of shared purpose to be more creative and innovative.

Monika offers leadership development through individual coaching, accelerated cultural change through team coaching and soft skill development for future success through bespoke learning initiatives. She combines evidence-based practice with the best thinking from leading organisations around the world and translates formal learnings into everyday context.
