Cross-Functional Synergy: A Prelude to Optimizing Team Outcomes

We had an incredible time at our recent in-person workshop, hosted by Teresa Brazen, Leadership & Executive Coach and founder of Brazen Coaching & Consulting.

The session introduced us to the powerful principles behind the Optimize Cross-Functional Outcomes program, which focuses on building stronger collaboration across product, design, and engineering teams.

Together with a talented group of NYC leaders, we delved into the unique mindsets, strengths, and challenges of cross-functional roles. The interactive activities helped improve understanding and synergy among the teams, while also providing practical tools to enhance communication and foster shared ownership within our work.

The energy, insights, and connections made throughout the event were truly inspiring. A huge thank you to Teresa for leading such an engaging session, and to all the attendees for bringing their curiosity and passion to the table.

We’re excited to continue strengthening teams, enhancing collaboration, and achieving impactful outcomes. If you missed this event, be sure to stay tuned for more opportunities to join us—we’re just getting started.
