The strongest teams are those that have an elevated level of psychological safety and are highly adaptive. They can ask questions, take risks, be able to fail, and disagree. There is a commitment to constant experimentation and evolution. Great teams do not happen by chance - they are built by choice.
But what if people aren’t able or don’t know how to engage in honest conversations that are candid, compassionate, and curious? Then the room fills with avoidance, and elephants start to take up space. Now our teams are not only avoiding conflict but connection as well. To overcome our avoidance of the problem, we need to be able to have conversations, even when they are uncomfortable. Building on the practices outlined in her book “Don’t Feed the Elephants,” Sarah Noll Wilson will introduce the Curiosity First Approach to help us increase ownership, have kind and candid conversations, and build more powerful partnerships.
In this highly interactive and reflective workshop, you will learn:
- Identify common avoidant behaviors and human factors that drive them
- Examine when avoidance may be appropriate and necessary
- Discover different “elephants” that can emerge
- Uncover best practices for regulating emotions in yourself and others
- Explore and apply the Curiosity First Model of Coaching
