Workshop: Intentional Team Building
summary
Workshop shows concrete steps and outcomes: a case study lives on GitHub and Discord, teams introduce an explicit value (professional development) with a $1,200 Learning and Development stipend, protected PD time in the calendar, regular share-outs and public celebration, and new team norms. Evidence includes an instructor podcast and a completed Udacity course. Adoption is slow but measurable: small repeated habits compound; implicit values (like students come first) explain evening availability and missed PD. Costco numbers (turnover < half, avg pay > $41,000, 7,000% growth) illustrate impact.
