What Feels Off at Work — and How to Address It

When you Feel Off at Work — and How to Address It Unconscious power dynamics, psychological safety, and healthier conflict

Small tensions rarely start as major conflicts. They usually begin with subtle behaviors, brief exchanges, and what remains unspoken. We adapt, avoid, and hope things will magically disappear — but what we avoid tends to linger, creating quiet friction beneath the surface.

In this engaging keynote, you’ll learn to recognize unconscious power dynamics, micro-behaviors, and conflict patterns in everyday workplace interactions. You’ll gain insight into why people react the way they do, what drives conflict, and how relational skills directly impact collaboration, psychological safety, and performance.

This session is designed to normalize conflict and give you practical language, awareness, and confidence to address what feels off before it escalates. You’ll explore psychological safety and discover how small shifts in communication can strengthen trust, improve workplace culture, and support more effective collaboration.

You’ll leave with fresh perspectives on how you show up for one another — and clear, practical tools for navigating difficult conversations. You’ll also gain new insights into why conflict doesn’t have to be something to fear. When handled well, it can strengthen relationships, reduce tension, and improve results. Happy people perform better.
