Sometimes we think “capacity building” is just code for “get more stuff done.” At Global Trellis, we say that is not the point at all! Jenilee joins Amy and Bernie to talk about the Capacity Series Discussion and Activity Guide. The guide is good for person and team use with a four week option and a 12 week option. If you’ve been looking for a way to take your team meetings up a level—with meaningful conversations and activities designed specifically for cross-cultural workers—you found it!
