Who Are We?

We believe that it’s important to create an environment in which individuals feel acknowledged, listened to, and safe to express their ideas because it positively impacts them and their organization.

We also believe that intolerance and disrespect are on the rise in society, and that this trend has seeped into the workplace. This has created serious problems for companies such as poor decision-making, increased job stress, and decreased employee engagement and retention.

If you would like your team to experience the greater rewards and fulfilment from embracing Respectful and Productive Disagreements then Project Jambo is for you.

Who Is This For?

Companies working in rapidly evolving industries

It’s for companies working in rapidly evolving industries where it is crucial that their most innovative ideas be shared and considered. Incorporating Respectful and Productive Disagreements is especially important if you cannot afford mistakes based on incomplete data or limited perspectives that hinder creative problem-solving.

Organisations of all sizes and market segments

Our programs are designed for organisations of all sizes and industries that recognise the importance of a culture built on Respectful and Productive Disagreements to address rising employee expectations regarding psychological safety in the workplace. Similar concerns are also addressed by new government regulations targeting employer’s mental health policies.

Businesses facing challenges with low employee engagement

Our workshops are perfect for businesses facing challenges with low employee engagement and high turnover rates. Studies have consistently shown that when employees don’t feel heard at work, it adversely affects their motivation, stress levels and commitment. The repercussions are far-reaching, causing a decline in morale and productivity, while also burdening your organisation with increased expenses related to mental health-related injury claims and rehiring costs.

What Do We Do?

We offer face-to-face group workshops that provide participants an opportunity to learn and practice new skills that enable Respectful and Productive Disagreements.

Our workshops consist of interactive activities and exercises where participants can examine their mindsets and beliefs as well as develop the specific skills to listen, understand and communicate effectively.

We provide a psychologically safe space to allow them to reflect on and discuss improvements to their workplace culture that would support them to feel valued, heard, and relevant during group discussions and decision making.

Our programs are designed to be run several times with the same group of participants, providing repeated opportunities to practice the skills and build the confidence needed to change one’s beliefs and behaviour.

Quotes To Consider

"If you want to hire great people and have them stay working for you you have to let them make a lot of decisions and you have to be run by ideas, not hierarchy. The best ideas have to win, otherwise good people don't stay."

"Success in an uncertain world depends on high-quality bets. High-quality bets depend on high-quality conversations. These don’t happen by accident."

“Authenticity is not about being unfiltered. It’s about staying true to your principles. The goal isn’t to voice every opinion you hold. It’s to stand up for ideas that are consistent with your ideals. Being genuine is closing the gap between what you value and what you express.”

“Having somebody to push you, to push your thinking, to tell you that you're wrong, to tell you there's another way to look at it, that there's another lens that you should view an issue with, these are jewels. These are things that we should all be happy for, not sad that somebody is disagreeing with us. You wind up with one plus one equal three when you're with a really great team, it's amazing what you can accomplish.”

“Respect is like air. As long as it's present, nobody thinks about it. But if you take it away, it's all that people can think about. The instant people perceive disrespect in a conversation, the interaction is no longer about the original purpose—it is now about defending dignity.”

If you want to compete effectively in your market you need employees willing to speak up so the best ideas can be considered. But speaking up makes one vulnerable and requires trust. The increasingly transient nature of employment makes cultivating trustful relationships even more vital and challenging. While it is an important objective, it cannot be accomplished overnight.
