What is worse than having a high-stakes conversation? Avoiding one. Achieving Meaningful Alignment is a training program that will transform the way you and your team communicate, manage emotions and resolve conflict.

The Big Idea

Leading difficult conversations to positive outcomes

The inability to effectively handle high-stakes conversations costs organizations an enormous amount of time and money.

By our basic nature, most people have difficulty handling emotionally charged conversations. For many, our capacity to manage emotions, handle conflict, and communicate authentically is not innate — it must be learned. However, few people are trained to focus on emotional management skills throughout their careers. We have been rewarded for results, not emotional intelligence.

The secret to all successful relationships is gaining alignment with others, with emotional composure and resiliency. Meaningful Alignment refers to any conversation involving two or more people where alignment and deep understanding are vital to a successful outcome. More specifically, we are referring to the high stakes interactions we have at times where emotions run high, and viewpoints are often not aligned.

A lack of alignment creates problems in the workplace:

Avoidant and reactive management culture
Team members not receiving crucial, timely feedback
Teams and individuals not being held accountable
Fewer innovative, creative and collaborative behaviors
Teams not equipped to resolve issues and solve problems (low autonomy)

Meaningful Alignment is a program developed by leadership experts Steinbrecher And Associates Inc. to help individuals and teams learn how to communicate extraordinarily well and successfully build high levels of trust. Achieving a successful and satisfying outcome for all parties involved during a discussion begins with understanding ourselves and the “inside game” of our mind. This deeper self-knowledge is achieved through our Interpersonal Dialogue Profile® assessment.
