Your Impact in Conversation

Use Leary’s Rose to shift how you communicate—and how others respond.

Leadership often happens in moments of conversation.

A simple sentence can invite collaboration—or trigger resistance. This session helps participants become more aware of their default communication stance, and then deliberately explore how to shift it—gently, playfully, effectively.

What This Session Helps With

Use this session when:

  • Conversations repeatedly stall, escalate, or feel unclear

  • People struggle with giving or receiving feedback

  • Leadership isn’t heard—because of tone, not content

  • You want to create more awareness of relational dynamics in teams

What Happens

Participants take part in a series of short, interactive scenarios—either from a browser-based Serious Game or through live roleplay. The structure is designed to surface:

  • Who tends to take control

  • Who avoids conflict

  • Who adapts too quickly—or digs in

We use Leary’s Rose—a powerful model of interpersonal behavior—to map these tendencies. Participants learn how behavior often invites a predictable response (“dominance breeds resistance,” for example), and how small shifts can lead to very different outcomes.

With light theory and lots of play, participants try out:

  • Leading with curiosity rather than control

  • Disagreeing without escalating

  • Holding their position without becoming rigid

AI-based reflection or journaling support can also be used between rounds to deepen insight.
