Build stronger collaborative relationships, at work and beyond.
The art & science of collaboration
In a chaotic world, collaboration isn't a soft skill. It's your team's IQ for hard times.
We got good at working apart. Maybe too good. The research is in on what all that efficiency cost: fewer new ideas, fewer breakthroughs, thinner networks, relationships gone transactional. The edge now belongs to teams who can do the harder thing: get in a room, tell the truth, and solve real problems together. Radical Collaboration is how you build that capacity. We'll show you where yours stands today, and how far it can go.

Why now
The collaboration muscle atrophied.
The stakes didn't.
The problems on your desk right now (strategy, change, conflict, the cross-boundary mess nobody owns) can't be solved over a thread. They get solved by people who trust each other enough to disagree well. Because alignment was never the product of agreement. Real alignment gets forged by moving through conflict, not around it. Teams that skip the friction don't get harmony. The disagreement just goes underground, where it festers, sabotages the work, and quietly kills a high-trust culture.
That capacity has a name, and it can be measured, built, and grown. We call it your Collaborative IQ. Here's how you raise it.
The map
Three zones. One direction.
Every team handles friction one of three ways. In the Red Zone, conflict is out in the open but weaponized: positions, defensiveness, win-lose. In the Pink Zone, it goes underground: polite meetings, quiet sabotage, disagreements that fester instead of surface. In the Green Zone, teams work the conflict and come out more aligned than they went in.
Most organizations are a blend of all three. The goal is not to eliminate conflict. It is to know how to navigate through it. And that starts with knowing where you are.
Red zone
Adversarial
The Battleground.
- Fear-based, defensive
- Win for self only
- Combative, attacking
- Feels like warfare
Pink zone
Avoidant
The Underground.
- Fear-based, protective
- Avoid losing
- Passive-aggressive
- Manipulating, withholding
Green zone
Collaborative
The Common Ground.
- Trust-based
- Mutual gain
- Open to influence
- Curious, engaging
One capacity. Five ways in.
Wherever you are, there's a next step.
We meet you where you are. Every engagement is a curated journey powered by Radical Collaboration.

Go for the gusto. We call it a work session, not a workshop, because we bring your real work into the room, not hypotheticals. Three days, all five practices, fully experiential.

"One of the most impactful learning experiences I've had in my HR career."
Jessica Largen VP, People & Culture · Permobil Americas
"If you're willing to open yourself up to the content, it has the potential to be life-altering. The exercises helped give me new perspectives that immediately impacted work relationships, but also conversations with my kids, my wife, and brother."
James Marcille Director of Personal and Professional Development
"I now regularly self-reflect on how I operate within my relationships, especially at work, and I've already seen positive impacts in my relationships with Directors and VPs I partner with regularly."
