How do high-performing teams sustain excellence during moments of transition? GitLab’s EMEA Sales team came together for a full-day leadership session designed not to fix performance gaps, but to strengthen alignment, connection, and self-leadership at the close of a successful year. Drawing on neuroscience, growth mindset, and team dynamics, the session focused on how individuals and teams perform under pressure, relate to challenge, and stay connected in a remote-first environment. Through experiential practices and collective reflection, the team defined the conditions and behaviors that support their best work, creating shared principles to carry momentum into new roles and responsibilities.
