Episode Description

The fundamental unit of doing that great work is conversation. Conversations happen easier, clearer, and more harmoniously if we can connect as human beings, look each other in the eye, trust, and feel safe naming what’s up for us. In this clip, coaches Andy Crissinger and Chris Vandenbrink share Reboot’s Red-Yellow-Green model for check-ins and how it’s implementation can shift the tone of how you relate to folks and hold meetings such as 1-1’s and offsites.
