Let's Unthink And Rethink This

---

You're in work collaboration and conflict situations every day. You want to feel more competent and confident in them, so you decide to learn something useful. 

You watch videos on collaboration, conflict, and communication techniques. You branch off into leadership, group dynamics, organizational culture, sensemaking, cognitive bias. You learn what your personality or team type is supposed to mean in work situations. You learn what your training as an engineer, a numbers person, a liberal arts major is supposed to mean in work situations. You even learn you have a learning style, and you figure out what that means.  

The thing is, you learn something from every stop and shop but you don't feel progress. You add ideas and techniques. You feel a little more competent and confident. But how long is this supposed to go? The more you find the more there is to find. The more you try the more there is to try. If you keep going, will it add up to being more competent and confident? By how much and by when?  

What if you took a different approach? 

What if the next thing you learned was how to use a collaboration and conflict map and compass. What if you could orient yourself and navigate through any situation you found yourself in? What if you could add all the tips and techniques, all the experience you gain, to orient and navigate better... because you had the map and compass?

Would that feel more competent and confident?  

There are times we only need lane and turn directions. There are times we need to find and make our way - and help colleagues do the same. That's what I help with. And you don't have to do it alone.
