Radical Collaboration Training - 3 days

Every organization, company or relationshiop faces its own challenges when it comes to collaboration. For some, the issue is clear: conflict, tension, and strained relationships that make progress feel impossible. For others, everything seems fine on the surface – yet under the radar, crucial conversations are being avoided, and important issues are going unaddressed.

In either case, there’s one common thread: defensive behavior. It comes in many forms – avoiding problems, pretending there’s no issue, or hitting back when we feel threatened. It’s a natural instinct, a way to protect ourselves. But here’s the truth – this instinct ends up doing more harm than good. It breaks down communication, derails teamwork, and blocks the path to the outcomes we truly want.

Now, picture being able to recognize and tackle defensiveness, both in yourself and others. Imagine having an understanding what triggers it and having the skills to manage it productively. That’s exactly what Radical Collaboration offers. It’s not just a course; it’s a practical guide to creating environments of trust and cooperation, where defensive behaviors are transformed into opportunities for understanding, growth, and real progress.

Whether your organization is dealing with overt conflict or stuck in a false conflict free organisation, Radical Collaboration equips you with the tools to build a more resilient, open, and motivated team. The kind of team where everyone feels empowered to contribute fully, and challenges are met with cooperation, not avoidance or defensiveness.
