In-Person and Virtual Training

Our Approach

Disagreeing Better designs unique training workshops that vary in length and modality to meet client needs. From thought provoking keynotes to multi-day offsites, we will get your team to engage with important questions about conflict, disagreement, decision-making, and leadership. We leverage behavioral insights to consider both the power and the challenges of elevating opposing perspectives in teams, organizations, and societies.

Have you ever considered that estimating the number of jelly beans in a jar has a lot in common with forecasting next year’s revenue? That debating whether a hotdog is a sandwich can help resolve thornier debates as well? Our workshops feature a mix of real-world examples, fun exercises, and empirical evidence to help client teams deeply engage with key insights.

“If we are all in agreement on the decision - then I propose we postpone further discussion of this matter until our next meeting to give ourselves time to develop disagreement and perhaps gain some understanding of what the decision is all about.”

William Wrigley Jr.

“When two men in business always agree, one of them is unnecessary.”
