Building Consensus on Sticky Issues

Building Consensus on Sticky Issues

We believe in finding common ground, even on the toughest issues. Our Building Consensus on Sticky Issues workshop provides participants with a practical, six-step model for reaching agreement on sensitive matters. We don’t believe in unresolved tension—consensus brings teams together.

The Six-Step Consensus Model

Because resolution matters. Participants will learn and apply a structured approach to group problem-solving and decision-making. The six-step model helps depersonalize job-related issues, ensuring that discussions focus on objective concerns rather than personal biases. We don’t believe in finger-pointing—objectivity drives solutions.

  1. Identify the Issue: Participants will learn how to define the core problem without attaching personal blame.
  2. Determine Concerns: The workshop emphasizes uncovering the underlying concerns of each stakeholder in the issue.
  3. Generate Options: Learn how to brainstorm multiple, acceptable solutions, even when issues seem unsolvable.
  4. Evaluate Options: Apply techniques to objectively assess the pros and cons of each proposed solution.
  5. Agree on a Decision: The group will make a collective decision, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued.
  6. Follow-Up: Consensus doesn’t stop at the decision. Learn how to create accountability and follow through on group decisions.

We don’t believe in rushed solutions—real consensus is built with patience and collaboration.

Polishing Presentation Skills

Interactive Problem-Solving Exercises

We believe in hands-on learning. The workshop includes interactive exercises that immerse participants in real-world group dynamics. By simulating challenging situations, participants gain practical experience in depersonalizing issues, communicating effectively, and negotiating solutions that meet everyone’s needs. We don’t believe in theory alone—experiential learning makes the difference.

Depersonalizing Sensitive Issues

We believe in focusing on solutions, not emotions. Participants will practice techniques to depersonalize sensitive matters, ensuring that emotions don’t derail the problem-solving process. This step-by-step approach teaches participants how to steer difficult conversations away from personal conflict and toward productive collaboration. We don’t believe in letting emotions drive decisions—logic and empathy create lasting solutions.

Group Decision-Making

We believe in decisions that everyone can support. The workshop explores group decision-making techniques that lead to consensus without sacrificing the integrity of the decision. Participants will walk away with practical strategies for reaching agreements, even when dealing with conflicting opinions. We don’t believe in forcing decisions—consensus requires buy-in from everyone.

Very dynamic and receptive to the needs of the group.

Kept the group motivated.

What a role model! Her ability to work on individuals’ needs and still keep the program moving and on target was fantastic.

I liked the process. I can see how it can help to build consensus even if the issue is sticky!
