Proactive Conversations
Cut down on workplace drama and build happier, healthier companies.
It’s time for communication to get an upgrade.
The Problem
Negative workplace conflict affects 85% of leaders and individual contributors.
TIME WASTING
Employees spend an average of 2.8 hours per week and managers spend an average of 6 hours per week managing disruptive and unhealthy conflict.
MONEY WASTING
Conflict management costs an average of $359 billion dollars in hours paid along with higher turnover which can cost up to 400% of an employee’s salary.
ENERGY WASTING
Unresolved conflict led to 27% of people experiencing personal attacks and insults, 18% experiencing bullying, 56% suffering with anxiety and depression and 40% feeling demotivated.
*Research from Center For Management and Organization Effectiveness
The Reason
Most communication strategies, tools and trainings are REACTIVE. They focus on conflict management, mediation, and resolution.
This is a defensive approach that keeps leaders and contributors trapped in a cycle of “fixing” rather than preventing.
The Solution
We need communication skills, tools and strategies that allow us to be PROACTIVE.
That means we learn to manage reactions to avoid saying (and doing) things that have negative consequences.
When we do this we:
Increase trust and psychological safety
Improve connections and build strong relationships
Improve productivity and job effectiveness

“I have already noticed how these skills have been applied both by myself and others in the office immediately after the session! I’m taking the time to be sure my request is worded in a way that is not rushed, cannot be interpreted as a threat and takes into consideration the other party and their ability to handle the request and offer an alternate solution when needed.”
