When the Relationship at Work Starts to Feel Off

A Reflective Coffee Hour on Managers, Employees, and Workplace Dynamics
Sometimes workplace tension is not just about communication skills or productivity.
You may notice:

• pulling back in meetings
• over-explaining yourself
• feeling overlooked or undervalued
• hesitation to speak honestly
• pressure to adapt to keep the peace
• a manager becoming distant or controlling
• stress spreading through the team
• or leaving interactions wondering, “What just happened there?”

This reflective online coffee hour explores the relationship dynamics that can develop between managers and employees under pressure.
Together we will discuss different workplace scenarios and reflect on:

• authority and trust
• psychological safety
• silence and withdrawal
• workplace pressure
• idea absorption and acknowledgment
• delayed reactions
• belonging vs. self-protection
• and how to stay connected professionally without losing your sense of self

This is not therapy or a complaint session.
You are welcome to speak, reflect quietly, or simply listen.
A thoughtful space for professionals navigating workplace relationships with greater awareness and clarity.
