It is great how babies and toddlers all seem to object rather than complain. (ie complain in real time to the person responsible for their care rather than gossip later behind their backs). Imagine if they could learn to say to OBJECT123 to let us know instead of crying or screaming? I think it is... Continue Reading →
Psychological Safety Singular Framework
It seems to me there are two approaches to creating a Psychological Safety Framework: Describe all the behaviors that team members should and shouldn’t do and what the team leaders should and shouldn’t do to enable these identified behaviors. Or Propose a singular framework for objecting to misbehavior that team members and team leaders could... Continue Reading →
THE PRECAUTION!
The word "precaution" suggests that it's what comes before we need to caution or to even prevent cautioning. In fact, to me precaution does not seem to make sense until we make the statement "to take the precaution". Our lives are full of these precautions, so many in fact that I believe we have not...

Upset the Applecart….not ourselves!
Upset the Applecart....not ourselves The idiom "Don't upset the applecart", applies, in this case to the the 'system' of conversation. What 'system', you may ask. The playwright Bertolt Brecht said “When something seems ‘the most obvious thing in the world’ it means that any attempt to understand the world has been given up.” I think... Continue Reading →
The Object Response Workshop

(Caution: the Object Response is yet to be tested) Where I simply tell the team members how to deal with domestic disputes by1. Getting agreements with our partners, first and... Continue Reading →
The Third Phase of Objection
What causes conflict? I believe what happens is that most people allow the first, second and even the third offense to take place and only then react or object but by then the reaction can and usually is so disproportionate to the offence. We have all been there and suffered this type of wrath, for... Continue Reading →
Three Phases of Objecting
Few people if any really know the difference between objecting and disagreeing, until it is explained to them and then it makes perfect sense. Please tell me if I was wrong and leave a comment below if you knew. Even in wikidiff it doesn’t clearly explain it. The difference is, I think, that we object... Continue Reading →
TOP Agreement
After 35 years of contemplating and investigating relationship disputes I have come up with the simplest of solutions to reduce domestic violence, divorce and heated disputes in business and personal relationships. Yes, as grand as this claim is I am claiming that I have a formula proposal that I intend to prove over the next... Continue Reading →
Agree How to Agree
How ironic is this. The fact that we make hundreds of agreement with each other and yet we do not have an agreement on what an "agreement" is or means to us. You will be surprised to find out just how much you may differ on what an agreement means to you and the people... Continue Reading →
