Uplift Academy for Organizations Building Belonging

Welcome to the Uplift Academy for organizations and teams, where we help people leaders design cultures of belonging and engagement by optimizing [even the smallest] moments of human connection for play, presence and kindness.

Okay hear me out.

Just because your people are connecting all the time doesn’t mean they feel connected.

Not necessarily because they don't like each other, but because proximity does not equal belonging. And in your defense, nobody ever taught you how to design for the difference.

Research from Gallup and BetterUp shows that employees with a strong sense of belonging perform significantly better (i.e. take fewer sick days, stay longer, etc. ). Inso facto: belonging isn't a nice-to-have. It's your highest-leverage culture investment, and most economical to produce (when you know how to do it).

The Uplift Academy for organizations teaches you and your team how to create belonging as a daily practice during meetings, offsites, and even in the smallest opportunities for connection (like the awkward 30 seconds before a Zoom call starts) that add up to a culture.

What you'll learn:

  • How to facilitate belonging in any live experience

  • How to use the P.L.A.Y. Method to train your managers to hold belonging in their teams so belonging becomes the cultural norm

  • How to measure and strengthen social wellness across your organization

Available as:

— Keynotes and talks for leadership summits and all-hands

— Half-day and full-day workshops for teams and managers

— Strategy sessions for HR leaders and founders

Belonging questions? We’re here for it.
