Ready to have more collaborative and productive meetings?
Ready for meetings that matters?
It’s easier to keep meetings surface level. Keeping hush hush about the real problems that are happening. No one judges you, no one attacks you, no one dismisses you. You keep the peace when staying silent about the real issues. Avoiding potential outbursts and divisiveness that can ensue.
But deep down inside you feel disheartened, and even powerless to speak up. You know there has to be a better way to have these meetings. That these meetings are not at their full potential.
As scary as it can be, tension is something that can help create growth. Personally, I love tension. I love hearing what matters to the other person and why. But I can’t stand divisive tension.
And there have been plenty of times where I tried to bring up a hot topic and the conversation was, let's just say, not well received. From explosive arguments to being brushed off, and everything in between.
But by going through these conversations, and not avoiding them, I've learned a thing or two about how to have difficult conversations without divisiveness. I’ve worked with many teams over the past ten years to help them have these challenging conversations.

How to disagree with someone in a way that avoids divisiveness and creates collaboration
Time and time again I see how going through the hard talks has bought teams closer together. It saves them time and emotional energy. A bonus side effect is that people start to relax and enjoy the meetings more.
You can have meetings that matter. Meetings that allow you to roll up your sleeves and get real work done.
Instead of staying stuck in boring meetings, where shallow work gets done and you want to run out of the room.
You no longer are the bystander, but the person that unites a team through the hard conversations.
