Clear, expert analysis of your team - where they excel and what’s holding them back?
When teams avoid naming the small frustrations or inconsistencies that everyone notices but no one addresses, trust and effectiveness quietly erode. “What's Under the Surface” helps teams address those hidden issues and bring them into the open in a secure space - safely, honestly, and without blame.
Using the simple metaphor of an iceberg, team members can identify what sits "above" and “below” the surface in their team's dynamics, then collectively decide what's worth addressing and how. Unspoken tension turns into constructive dialogue and shared ownership, helping your team to build a culture of openness, accountability, and continuous improvement.
