Seeing Both Sides: Guiding Teams Through Tension

$35.00

June 5, 10–11:30 AM PST‍ / 1–2:30 PM EST

Every team wrestles with tensions that don’t go away:

  • Trust and accountability

  • Speed and inclusion

  • Centralization and empowerment

  • Results and human experience

If you’ve ever watched a meeting get stuck in a debate where both sides are right, you’ve experienced a polarity.

In this highly interactive session, you’ll learn how to use polarity mapping — a practical, visual tool that helps you shift from either/or thinking to both/and leadership. You’ll discover how to:

  • Surface the upsides and downsides of competing approaches

  • Reduce defensiveness and “us vs. them” dynamics

  • Guide teams toward smarter, more sustainable decisions

  • Turn tension into forward movement

This is not a lecture. You’ll practice in breakout groups, apply the tool to real challenges you’re facing, and design a plan you can use immediately in your next meeting.

You’ll leave with:

  • A concrete facilitation tool

  • Greater confidence navigating complex dynamics

  • A simple way to move stuck conversations forward

Because complexity isn’t the problem. Not knowing how to hold it is.
