Occasionally there is an issue so sensitive that it dwells comfortably (and festers) in the room. And sometimes it hides itself in the cupboard. But it’s there and everyone knows it. Occasionally a brave soul brings it out in the open and after a barrage of disagreement, it is rehoused to continue festering. Removing the elephant needs bravery and tact. But it can be done, and you have to have a facilitator to keep people focussed on the elephant and not on each other.
The great news is the walking on eggshells phenomenon is very prevalent in many workplaces. As esteemed Psychologist Suzie Lubris suggests, “the net gain of addressing and possibly fixing the problem is just not worth the emotional cost, which results in major issues getting swept aside.”
It becomes almost habitual to not notice the elephant in the room. In the “Walking on Eggshells with an Elephant in the Room” course, the facilitators coax the major issue back into the foreground. Participants use different tools to gain different perspectives of the issue. The root cause of the issue is then identified. Participants are often amazed how an independent facilitated session can be such a positive experience after the issue was previously too prickly to touch. Participants discover new solutions, and work collaboratively towards a solution, as your facilitator helps participants begin cracking eggshells at a comfortable pace.
This program can be conducted as in-house training at your offices anywhere in Australia.
