Walking on Eggshells with an Elephant in the Cupboard

Occasionally there is an issue so sensitive that it dwells comfortably (and festers) in the cupboard. Occasionally a brave soul brings it out in the open and after a barrage of disagreement, it is rehoused in the cupboard to continue festering. The result is akin to people walking on eggshells with an elephant in the cupboard.

    Course Description

    The great news is the walking on eggshells phenomenon is very prevalent in the workplace. As esteemed Psychologist Suzanne Lubris suggests “the net gain of addressing and possibly fixing the problem is just not worth the emotional cost, which results in major issues getting swept aside”

    It becomes almost habitual to not notice the elephant in the cupboard. In the “Walking on Eggshells with an Elephant in the Cupboard” course the facilitators coax the major issue back into the foreground. Participants use different tools to gain different perspectives of the issue. The root cause of the issue is then identified. Participants are often amazed how an independent facilitated session can be such a positive experience after the issue was previously too prickly to touch. Participants discover new solutions, and work collaboratively towards a solution, as your facilitator helps participants begin cracking eggshells at a comfortable pace.
