The Conversation Your Team Has Been Avoiding for Years (And Why It Transformed a Global Energy Company’s Dialogue)

#communicationskills #emotionalintelligence #executivedevelopment #leadershipteam #teamperformance Nov 11, 2025

Which critical topic is your leadership team avoiding right now?

Everyone knows the "Elephant in the Room" exists—the unspoken conflict, the lack of true alignment, the fundamental blind spot that is slowing everything down. Most teams just schedule another meeting instead of dealing with it.

If you are a senior leader, you can feel the unspoken dynamics that ultimately shape performance more than any strategy or technical skill.

But what if addressing that elephant wasn't terrifying—it was just systemic optimisation?

We recently guided a Global Energy Company through a structured, six-hour process to surface their biggest avoidance. The result? Their quality of dialogue transformed overnight.

This is the difference between a high-performing system and one stuck in perpetual gridlock. This work isn't always comfortable, but it creates enduring alignment. It requires commitment, not compliance, because real growth doesn't happen in quick wins—it happens in the long process of becoming.

The shift begins when leaders are ready to bring the unspoken to the surface.

If your senior leadership team is ready to tackle its "Elephant in the Room" and commit to a six-hour experience that rewires how you perform together, the next step is confidential.
