I've been working with teams and senior leaders for almost 20 years.
That's being in thousands of rooms where people are too busy with themselves to listen to each other.
Hundreds of times where work gets stuck or actively sabotaged by lack of care and/or courage.
Dozens of times where people are visibly angry and hurt at each other.
At least a handful of times where no-one, including myself, knows what to say.
Yet every time, going back to what matters, to what's really true about us as human beings, helps.
Even if just a little bit. Enough for the next conversation to happen, the next insight to emerge, the next step to be taken.
And everyone learns and grows from having stepped into that unpredictable dance
between conflict and connection.
