Wherever Your Team Is, There's a Place to Start
When there's tension on your team
Two people who can't seem to work together. Meetings where the real conversation happens afterward. A talented employee who's quietly checked out. Gwen helps teams name what's happening, repair trust, and find a way forward, with practical tools that keep the same problems from coming back.
When your team is ready to grow
You're growing, adjusting to a new leader or structure, or doing good work and wanting to do great work. You don't need a crisis to invest in your team. The best teams build communication and trust before problems arise.
Resolving Conflict Before It Escalates:
The Pinch-Crunch Model
Start Here: Free for Any Business
The pinch
A small moment when expectations aren't met: a missed deadline, a comment in a meeting, a role change nobody discussed.
1
The crunch
Left unspoken, pinches pile up until trust breaks down, anger erupts, or someone leaves.
2
The skill
Your team creates time and space to share pinches, spot them early, raise them without blame, and renegotiate expectations, with a shared language they can use the next day.
3
Every team, even a high-performing one, experiences "pinches," small moments when expectations aren't met. Left unspoken, they grow into a "crunch" that drains energy, trust, and productivity.
In this free 2-hour workshop, based on the Pinch-Crunch Model developed by organizational psychologists John J. Sherwood and John C. Glidewell, your team learns to spot pinches early, raise them without blame, and reset expectations, using a shared language they can put to work the very next day.
"Each interaction has impactful results that help individuals, teams and our organization to grow... Her trusting and collaborative approach is highly recommended."
