How to Lead with Impact: Strategies to Build Collaboration and Trust on Your Team
Whether you're stepping into management for the first time or have been leading for a few years, one truth stays the same: collaborative teams don't just happen, they're built with intention. Many managers struggle with the same challenges: earning trust quickly, running meetings that feel productive instead of draining, and keeping people motivated when demands are high and time is short.
How do you set clear expectations so your team knows what success looks like? How do you make the most of your 1:1s and everyday touchpoints so they build trust rather than feel like a formality? And how do you create team dynamics that leave people feeling recognized, supported, and engaged?
In this interactive session, Lorraine K. Lee, bestselling author and instructor with LinkedIn Learning and Stanford, will share practical strategies you can start using immediately. You'll learn how to establish strong foundations of trust, lead meetings that actually move work forward, and shape team dynamics that keep people performing at their best. Whether you're a new manager building confidence or an experienced manager looking for fresh approaches, this session will help you set your team up for success and continue growing as a leader.
What the audience walks away with
- Cut the uncertainty: use three foundational moves, 30-60-90 resets, skip-level conversations, and career goal discussions, to give your team clarity and build trust from the start.
- Make meetings actually useful: transform 1:1s and everyday touchpoints from autopilot small talk into meaningful conversations, and learn how to show up on video with presence and credibility.
- Keep your team engaged: strengthen team dynamics by giving feedback people can act on, recognizing them in ways that resonate, and setting simple communication norms.
