The Healthy Norms Workshop for Difficult Dynamics

Address toxic patterns without finger-pointing. Use structured methods to reset team behavior and norms.

About this session

When a team is stuck in a cycle of blame or passive-aggressive behavior, direct confrontation often causes people to shut down. This session moves the focus away from individual faults and provides a structured path to build a documented code of conduct that everyone agrees to uphold.

Why it works

By shifting the conversation from personal grievances to objective behavioral standards, the workshop lowers defensiveness and prevents finger-pointing. This neutral framework allows the team to critique the current culture as a shared problem, making it easier to secure genuine commitment to new ways of working.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 4-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic

Who it’s for
