T-Groups: Empowering Remote Leaders in Building Meaningful Connections

About T-Groups

Discover the World of T-Groups

‍T-Groups, also known as "Training Groups," were first conceived by Austrian Psychoanalyst Kurt Lewin after World War II. These learning laboratories are dedicated to exploring real-time interpersonal dynamics, offering valuable insights and personal and professional growth opportunities.

Inspired by the enduring popularity of Stanford Business School's "Interpersonal Dynamics" class, often affectionately called "Touchy Feely," T-Groups have gained worldwide recognition. These self-organized groups typically consist of 6-12 participants, all engaged in a journey of self-discovery through open communication and guided facilitation.

Why join?

Transform Your Remote Leadership Skills

‍Your relationships are the bedrock of your personal and professional life. Cultural backgrounds, personality traits, and identity dynamics shape the depth and effectiveness of these relationships. Whether you aspire to be a more effective remote professional or a more connected leader, T-Groups offer a unique opportunity for growth.

In a safe and supportive environment, you'll uncover your blind spots and understand the behavioral patterns that influence your actions, especially in high-stress situations. T-Groups mirror real-world challenges, helping you address resistance points that hinder your development.

What to expect?

Personalized Learning for Remote Leaders.
‍
T-Groups provide highly tailored learning experiences. You'll define your unique learning goals, focusing on areas like authentic emotional expression, spontaneity, navigating conversations about power dynamics, active listening, and embracing challenging topics. Complementing the experience are mini-lectures introducing coaching and organizational behavior concepts.
