Leadership Workshop: Building High-Performing Teams for the 21st Century with Emile Studham

We loved having Emile Studham speak at our event in May, where he shared his insights on 21st-century leadership and team performance. The session sparked fantastic engagement from attendees, with plenty of great conversations throughout the evening.

One idea that particularly resonated with participants was the importance of "catching the good", intentionally recognizing and acknowledging positive contributions, effort, and progress within a team. Research shows that when leaders regularly notice and reinforce what's working well, they help create psychological safety, strengthen trust, and encourage higher levels of performance.

Emile and his company, Cooperation Works, help organizations build high-performing cultures through the science of human cooperation, strengthening trust, leadership, and team dynamics.



Their workshops leave teams with a shared language for collaboration, stronger professional relationships, and practical tools they can apply immediately, resulting in better alignment, stronger decision-making, and higher team performance.

Emile is available as a keynote speaker for conferences and company off-sites, as well as a workshop facilitator for team and leadership development sessions.
