60-Minute Team Space
A space for teams in times of crisis to connect, reflect and learn together
Why Team Space?
TeamSpace was created to help teams in health and social care that are at the sharp end of dealing with the Covid-19 crisis.
Our conviction is that a team that works well together, creates a supportive culture and learns quickly will thrive even in challenging circumstances.
By following the carefully designed guide you will provide a space for your team to:
- take a break from all the normal busy stuff
- stop, connect and listen to each other
- think together about how you can build oneness in the team now
“Our task must be to widen our circle of compassion, to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
Theoretical Physicist, Philosopher, Nobel Prize Winner
“Until we have seen someone’s darkness, we don’t really know who they are. Until we have forgiven someone’s darkness, we don’t really know what love is.”
Marianne Williamson (born 1952)
Author, Lecturer
What’s involved?
This Team Space needs an hour and can be used in a team of up to 10 colleagues; beyond that you are best splitting into groups of up to 8.
You will be working as a team and in pairs. Two people will act as host and facilitator so that participants can forget about process and be fully present in the meeting.

What can you do to support team oneness in times of crisis?
Why would you spend time building your team culture when there is so much other challenge?
These questions are addressed in this 2-page briefing note from One Leadership. It formed the background to the creation of the Team Space practices. As the briefing says: "Poor teams hash up the most simple of tasks; teams that 'act as one' consistently achieve incredible outcomes". Which do you want?
