Find Out:

What’s Really Blocking Feedback

Most feedback fails because people don’t trust each other enough to be honest, or curious enough to understand what’s behind the behavior.

Why Decades of Conditioning Can’t Be Rewired in a Training

Employees carry emotional patterns into work that shape how they give, receive, and respond to feedback. A training program isn’t enough to unlearn that.

How Relational Curiosity Builds the Conditions for Change

You’ll learn how to cultivate daily interactions that unlock trust, surface insights, and make feedback more natural, timely, and actionable.

What You’ll Walk Away With

• A new lens on what’s really driving feedback resistance
• A practical framework for introducing relational curiosity into your culture
• Clarity on why feedback training isn’t changing behavior, because emotional patterns, not just skill gaps, are driving the disconnect
• A way to move beyond scripted conversations so feedback feels timely, relational, and relevant to the actual work being done
