We know people perceive things differently but why is it so difficult for people to communicate about that? Lindsay Uittenbogaard is the CEO and Founder of Mirror Mirror, a company focused on improving team effectiveness through perception comparison. ​

Her journey began in 2003 when she experienced communication challenges in a multinational energy company. These challenges led her to realize the widespread issue of organizational misalignment. It is evident in team dynamics and the aftermath of a failed transformation initiative when the social networks have been damaged by processes that ignore human connection. Lindsay's work restores that connection so teams and organizations can renew their trust in one another and do epic work.

The discussion offers actionable strategies for team leaders, project managers, and teams or organizations recovering from failed transformation initiatives. It emphasizes key methods to revitalize team dynamics, improve project outcomes, and navigate the challenges of transformative changes. You will gain insights into effective management practices, enhancing team collaboration, and steering teams towards success.

Mirror Mirror™ stands out from traditional team interventions because it focuses on what’s happening in the team, pinpointing real work issues and informing immediate action. It’s practical, easy to use, and scales well. It looks at the whole system, not just behaviors or preferences, and can connect with any team, not just leadership.

This episode is featured for two reasons: 1) perception filters or distorts meaning so being aware enough to stop, reflect, and explore, is a great way to elevate healthy communication and high-quality working relationships. 2) Dawna (me) supports Mirror Mirror's work because traditionally managed organizations are slow to adapt. Starting at the team level and grounding the work in personal and professional development raises the level of thinking and consciousness. Doing so releases energy stuck in tension and conflict allowing everyone to feel good about the work they are doing.
