Too often, we focus on the task to be accomplished in our organization or collaborative, and assume the relationships and mutual support will take care of themselves. Anthony Sartori runs the Evolving Minds nonprofit that helps organizations create healthy work cultures. Their Connected Cultures Program has been implemented in organizations ranging from nonprofits to schools, government agencies to philanthropies to increase workplace mental health. Its core tool - Connection Circles - consistently delivers three powerful outcomes: empathy, common humanity, and pro-social behaviors. Participants develop a deep understanding of each other’s perspectives, which naturally leads to compassionate actions—helping colleagues, providing social support, and fostering a supportive work environment. This sense of belonging is essential for collective impact, as it unites teams around shared values and goals. In this session, we will explore a set of relational and resilience skills that boost camaraderie, team engagement, and communication, setting the environment for healthy success.
