Abstract:

Breakdowns are a natural part of everyone's consulting practice. No matter how carefully we plan and communicate, breakdowns (failures of the conversation, project, process, etc., to function as intended) will inevitably occur in encounters with our clients, colleagues, supervisors, and staff. In this luncheon, I will introduce you to a process for recognizing and resolving your breakdowns. You will have an opportunity to use it to identify at least one step you can take to resolve your most vexing, repeater breakdown.
