the table principles

Table Principles™ Professional Development Austin, MN

​Hello!

You might be wondering how these ten principles etched on paper transform conversations?

Transform how you lead?
Transform how you team connects?
Transform your client’s experience?
Transform how your organization looks, feels and functions?

That’s ok. They aren’t magical, nor are they a flavor of the month training hype.
They are organizational culture conversation boosters.
Conversations that matter.
Conversations about behaviors and habits.
Conversations that have potential to transform…
…if practiced
every day
every shift
every meeting
every communication pathway.

Together, we can transform the tables one conversation at a time!

The cards are a tangible strategy that prompt us to practice a principle over and over again because behaviors are transformed by repetition.

Each pack has ten conversation cards and three resource cards to set the table for your next meeting, review, training that inspire continuation of curious conversations and capacity building.

One and done trainings leave people we lead exhausted, ultimately disengaged and discouraged.

Leverage the cards to create generative starts to a meeting, to design the difficult conversations, as a gentle reminder on your desk, break room or conference room of behaviors and habits that inspire the good we are craving in how, where and who we do our work with.

Be brave and create conversations from the cards then…
share with us how you are leveraging the principles to design cultures and environments that transform!
