The pace of work and the pressure to deliver create just the right conditions for tension to build in teams. You may leave interactions feeling frustrated, wondering why your team keeps having the same conversations, avoids the hard ones, or allows small issues to escalate into major misunderstandings.

If only other people would pull themselves together, everything would go smoothly, right?

Here’s something you may not realize: your communication style may be unintentionally contributing to the very dynamics that frustrate you.

In this session, you will learn how to spot the patterns underneath your team’s stuck conversations — and what to do about them. We will explore the four modes of communication that show up in every conversation, how missing actions create conflict, and the five common stuck patterns that play out in teams every day.

You will leave with a practical framework you can use immediately — in your next meeting, your next hard conversation, or your next moment of “here we go again.”
