“Group think” has a bad name because it’s usually done wrong

Your team needs to think together to get work done together.

  • Were we even in the same meeting?
  • There is NO WAY I’m going to air my dirty laundry in here!
  • It sounds like the same old ideas being rehashed. Again.

When people don’t communicate safely or clearly, meetings lose all value. Leaders who can align minds create momentum and get recognized for it.

A 90‑minute live workshop to turn meetings into engines of progress.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to:

  • run meetings that surface truth without fear. You’ll open with a clear “rules of engagement” script, use neutral prompts that draw out quiet voices, and apply a quick check so people can raise concerns without blame.
  • avoid the echo chamber by including differing perspectives, whether or not those perspectives walked into the room. You’ll have a checklist to ensure you’ve covered the bases.
  • have confidence you have communicated clearly with three mental models that spark conversation by shining light on assumptions.

You’ll also leave with a lightweight agenda blueprint and a one-page decision log you can copy on the spot, plus follow-up language that closes loops and sets expectations.

The net effect: your team leaves every meeting clear on what was decided, who’s doing what, and why, and you’re seen as the leader who made that clarity happen.
