About this session
Connection isn't a soft-skill luxury — it's the substrate your team's focus, trust and resilience sit on. Built specifically for the "Two Truths and a Tale" context, this session stays concrete and respects your team's time.
You'll leave with two or three moves you can try this week, not a 40-page framework.
What your people take away
- Notice non-violent communication (NVC) as a day-to-day conversation tool
- Spot co-regulation moves drawn from polyvagal theory that calm a tense room
- Run a five-minute check-in format that doesn't feel forced
- Build the signals of low belonging in your own team — before it shows up in engagement scores
- Name rituals that work even in calendar-poor weeks

What’s covered
Why Connection Keeps Breaking
- What's actually happeningSpot the four Edmondson psychological-safety markers on your team (inclusion, learner, contributor, challenger)
Small Rituals, Big Shift
Concrete moves
- Use NVC's four-step format (observation, feeling, need, request) for any tense chat
- Use the two-question format for 1:1s: one work question, one human question
- Use NVC's four-step format (observation, feeling, need, request) for any tense chat
- Practice polyvagal co-regulation: slow down your breath and voice first, let the group settle
Making It Stick
Putting it into practice
- Pick one meeting to redesign each week until the calendar feels less lonely
- Build in a monthly 'retro on us' — 15 minutes where the team looks at how the team is working
- Commit to one conversation you've been avoiding — most connection gaps sit behind a single unsaid thing
- Share what you're trying with one peer and ask for observations after two weeks
