AlignED teaches business leaders how to create safe environments for conversation and decision making to occur. Breazeale’s also a facilitator for the development and leadership company founded by Susan Scott, author of Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work & in Life, One Conversation at a Time.
I think we have substituted technology for conversation in some cases. We’ll think, ‘I sent you an email’ and that’s been a touch-base. Also, we’re on 24/7 and research tells us that we’re not good at estimating how much time something is going to take. We over-schedule. We squeeze out any margin for being able to have conversations. We’re really missing out on the quality that rich conversation brings to our lives.
