The most expensive conversations are the ones that never happen.
This workshop explores why elephants persist, from identity-level patterns that make naming them feel threatening to anxiety responses that make avoidance feel safer than engagement. This workshop offers a practical framework for naming what needs to be named in ways that open conversation rather than shut it down.
Key takeaways:
Ability to recognize the signals that an elephant is in the room
Understanding why avoidance persists, from both an identity and anxiety perspective
Framework for distinguishing between taking a break or giving space and avoiding
Strategies for addressing elephants in ways that invite dialogue rather than defensiveness
