Does anybody have any sense of what that might be? 2) Maybe following on from that, what is it that people are aware they are thinking and feeling but NOT saying? Then, either encourage people to say it, however irrelevant it might seem to them, or encourage a meta-conversation that helps name what needs to happen first, in order that the real issue can get named and talked about (e.g. rules of engagement).<BR/><BR/>Susan Scott has some good ideas also in her book 'Fierce Conversations'.<BR/><BR/>Alexander<BR/>www.authenticvoice.co.ukAlexander Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520700486908057390noreply@blogger.com
