Pick a Side! Just Kidding. Don't.
It’s not either/or. It’s both/and.
Virtual Workshop:
May 21, 2025 | 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM EST
We live and work in systems full of tensions: stability and change, care and accountability, flexibility and structure, autonomy and alignment, care and performance. And in the face of pressure, it’s easy to feel like we have to choose a side.

Spots are limited—don’t wait.
When stress rises, people start digging their heels deeper into one end of the spectrum—while others dig just as hard into the opposite. And suddenly, we’re stuck. Conversations stall, relationships strain, and decisions get polarized.
But here’s the thing: not all tension is bad. Some of it is essential.
And when we learn how to navigate that tension instead of trying to eliminate it, something new becomes possible.
This 90-minute, high-impact virtual workshop introduces a powerful way of thinking about the polarities that exist in your world. You’ll learn how to recognize when you’re stuck in false either/or thinking, understand the patterns that keep you (and others) stuck, and use a practical tool to find clarity in the tension.
Who Should Attend? If you’ve been stuck in the same exhausting debate—at work, at home, or in your own head—and it feels like no one’s budging, this session is for you. It’s for anyone who’s been walking on eggshells, avoiding conversations, or bracing for that moment it comes up again. You’ll leave with tools to shift out of stuck and find a way forward—without picking a side.
You’ll Walk Away With Strategies For:
- Recognizing when a challenge is actually a polarity, not a problem
- Getting out of either/or thinking and into creative, sustainable solutions
- Naming the deeper values at play (and why they matter to people)
- Seeing how “both/and” approaches generate better decisions, less drama, and more possibility
