Mutual support is a must have for team development
From Brisbane to Nepal via London, Vietnam and Cambodia, Jade Lee approached her mid-career disillusionment from a very adventurous angle! With a career in HR under her belt, Jade was finely attuned to team building and engagement but what she experienced on her trek to Everest Base Camp gave her a fresh perspective. From the Sherpa’s servant leadership to building trust and connection at speed, it was a life-changing endeavor in many ways. Jade now draws on these experiences to help organisations improve team connection and engagement - it’s less perilous than Everest but the people stuff delivers plenty of challenges for this intrepid explorer.
