Conversations that Work
In this episode of the Intentional Greatness® podcast, we are joined for the fourth time by Jon Berghoff. Jon is the founder of the XCHANGE Approach, where he helps facilitate meaningful dialogue and change at an accelerated pace. During their conversation, Jon and Sue discuss their takeaways from the WPO Conference and how to design and facilitate conversations that can work well in any group setting. He also shares an alternative method to traditional problem-solving techniques.
Productivity Drawbacks
During this era of time, while we continue to have the majority of our meetings online, many feel that we have the opportunity to be more productive. We are putting such a large emphasis on how productive we can be that we are losing sight of the consequence of that productivity. Jon shares that when we get hyper-productive, the consequence is we shut off the part of our brain that does all the important relationship building.
Benefits of Curiosity
It is common to share your thoughts and ideas, and when they are not well-received or liked we tend to take it personally, as though the person does not like us. Jon explains how during these instances of creative tension we can work through the moment by becoming curious. He explains that studies show high-performing teams that can navigate change well depending on how curious they are.
