Structured dialogue drives meaningful change in nonprofit workplace dynamics

 

October 16, 2024 – Dallas, Texas – The Salvation Army of North Texas has successfully completed Quantum Connections’ Connecting At Work™ program, a 12-week training curriculum designed to transform team communications and strengthen interpersonal relationships throughout an organization. The program delivered proven dialogue skills and practical tools to key team members that strengthen workplace dynamics and performance, setting the stage for a more creative, collaborative, and connected service environment.

 

Led by Salvation Army of North Texas Area Commanders, Majors Dawn and Paul McFarland, and Managing Director Scotty Landry, the team participated in a highly interactive program based in Quantum Connections’ unique and proprietary Safe Conversations^® Dialogue Methodology. Through a mix of live and online instruction, the Salvation Army cohort joined in exercises, role plays, and take-home assignments that, when practiced, equip participants with new and actionable dialogue skills that are proven to build higher employee engagement and more productive workplace interactions.

 

“We’re honored to have helped The Salvation Army of North Texas build a workplace culture that champions team creativity, collaboration and connection through structured dialogue,” said Dennis S. Holland, CEO of Quantum Connections. “Healthy and productive workplace relationships—rooted in dialogue—are a transformative driver for any organization’s success, especially in today’s complex and, often, polarizing work environments. The commitment to mastering the practice of Dialogue speaks to the North Texas Area Command’s dedication to both their internal team and the communities they serve.”

 

The program’s completion marks a significant milestone for the Salvation Army of North Texas—the largest Area Command in the world. With a service footprint spanning 4,078 square miles in Dallas, Tarrant and Ellis, Denton and Collin, and Rockwall Counties, the organization is now better equipped to support its diverse communities, fostering a more unified and connected approach to its mission.

 

“This training has been a game-changer for our team, enhancing the way we collaborate and connect with one another,” said Scotty Landry, Managing Director of the North Texas Salvation Army. “The experience has helped us be in better relationship with one another, promoting a stronger sense of unity and purpose as we work to support our community. We look forward to seeing the lasting results of what we’ve learned—both within the organization and in our service to North Texas.”
