Forward Talk: Reframe the Conversation. Reclaim Your Power.
Most teams don’t rise to their potential. They rise to the level of their conversations.

Join this hands-on session with bestselling author and culture expert Gustavo Razzetti, based on his new book, Forward Talk. You’ll learn to recognize what quietly drains performance, trust, and alignment. We’ll explore how politeness and “psychological safety” often mask deeper issues.
