Elephants, Dead Fish, and Hairballs

🚀Register at https://buy.stripe.com/dRm14p3086BXcZZgDubV606

Every team has them — the elephants in the room no one wants to name, the dead fish that quietly stink up the culture, and the hairballs of confusion and frustration that stifle creativity and contribution. Avoiding these conversations doesn’t make them disappear; it only shuts down communication on the team, or worse, turns the culture toxic.

In this 4-hour, interactive workshop, we’ll explore a proven framework for naming and transforming the hardest conversations in your (or your clients’) organization. Building on Airbnb’s Elephants, Dead Fish, and Vomit model (2017) and blending it with Jim Rough’s Dynamic Facilitation method, participants will learn how to turn discomfort into direction — surfacing unspoken truths, finding shared understanding, and moving from tension to action.
