Course description

Yet many teams and organizations struggle to create the conditions necessary for individuals to feel safe challenging ideas in a way that won’t impact relationships or do it in a way that doesn’t devolve into rancor.

As with all of our programs, we answer the “how” with practical, proven strategies.
