As we look ahead to 2025, it’s the perfect time to reimagine how we work and spark fresh ideas within our teams. Join us for a 1.5-hour interactive workshop where we’ll dive into strategies to revitalize team innovation and set inspiring goals for the New Year. This session is crafted especially for HR professionals and leaders who are ready to bring new energy and creativity to their team culture.

In this workshop, you will:

• Set your team’s “innovation resolutions” for 2025, focusing on practical steps to enhance collaboration and spark creativity.
• Learn fresh techniques to encourage forward-thinking in team projects and foster an agile, innovative mindset.
• Dive into hands-on exercises that make innovation feel achievable and grounded in your daily workflows.
• Connect with like-minded peers to share and develop bold ideas for the year ahead.

The workshop is facilitated by Jessie Jacob. Jessie Jacob is a culture consultant and innovation coach. After working at the Sprint Accelerator and for a couple of venture-backed startups, Jessie was inspired to create a workplace culture accelerator program called the Culture Lab where she helped teams to define and improve their cultures to significantly increase performance and engagement. She has helped a number of founders and executives to be intentional with their teams and workplace cultures so they can effectively scale. Jessie has recently worked alongside NY Times Best-selling author and successful entrepreneur, Diana Kander, where they help teams to tweak their existing habits to significantly increase performance and agility. Their coaching and facilitation allow teams to bring innovation and workplace culture best practices to hire, project management, iteration, and many other team functions. They’ve worked with large organizations such as Hormel Food and a government agency to adopt habits of innovation.

Her experience with organizations large and small has taught her a number of important lessons:

• Having a workplace environment where individuals can thrive is created or destroyed through culture or the team’s habits. A culture needs to be continuously nourished and there isn’t a one-time fix.
• Teams need simple tools and exercises to help tweak their habits, increase productivity, and get a team on the same page. Jessie has distilled lessons from her last 7 years working with startups and corporate innovation teams into simple, powerful tools for teams to apply.
• Successful team cultures can’t be copied and pasted. There are overarching best practices, but each individual culture is as unique as the individuals in the organization.

Let’s set the stage for a year of impactful change—bring your best ideas and let’s kick off 2025 together!
