Deborah Pruitt tells us how her 6 Elements of Group Alchemy create a culture where your volunteers work more collaboratively and get more done.
#041 Today I am speaking with Dr. Deborah Pruitt. Deborah is a trained Cultural Anthropologist and applies a dynamic anthropological perspective to helping organizations achieve extraordinary results. More specifically, she helps her clients work collaboratively and unify around a collective vision. She’s found that it all starts with culture – many people have had experiences where they felt disregarded or disrespected.
“That was what led me to think deeply about how do we create a culture in a group that supports working together collaboratively for the same interests and same goals while also honoring the individuals in the group and their needs and what it is that provides the context and the space and the opportunity for them to bring their best and to do it together.”
She founded Group Alchemy to help clients build strategic plans that bring focus to the organization’s purpose and strengthen collaborative problem solving. In this episode, we discuss her 6 Elements of Group Alchemy to help groups, no matter the size, create culture so they could work better together.
