Ep40: See the Challenge, Strengthen the Team

Make it stand out

See the Challenge, Strengthen the Team

Every team has its wobbly blocks, those small things that quietly hold everything together until they’re overlooked, pushed aside, or forgotten.

In this episode of Rethink: The Podcast, Nicki Hambleton explores what really makes teams wobble and how simple visual strategies can bring them back into balance.

Drawing from conversations with leaders, educators, and facilitators, Nicki unpacks common challenges around communication, collaboration and clarity. Through the metaphor of a Jenga tower, she shows how losing sight of what’s important can weaken trust, focus, and confidence and how visual thinking can help rebuild them.

By working visibly, mapping ideas, using storyboards and creating shared spaces for thinking, teams can communicate more clearly, listen more actively and build stronger alignment. 

When ideas are seen as well as heard, inclusion grows, confidence returns and collaboration feels effortless again.

Because when we can see the challenge, we can strengthen the team.
