What's Included
This comprehensive 28-page workbook provides:
Complete Radiant Transit simulation materials
Guided reflection exercises to deepen your learning
Practical strategies you can apply immediately
Self-assessment tools to track your collaborative behaviors
Key insights from decades of research and real-world application
Suggested readings and next steps
Defensiveness kills collaboration. When we get defensive, our IQ drops, our thinking becomes rigid, and we spend more energy on self-preservation than problem-solving. This module gives you the tools to recognize and manage your own defensiveness—and deal effectively with defensive people around you.
This comprehensive 29-page workbook provides:
Red/Pink/Green Zone framework for understanding defensive attitudes
The Conflict Lifeline exercise to map your defensive patterns
50 signs of defensiveness checklist
Biological explanation of why we get defensive (and why it's so hard to think clearly when triggered)
Step-by-step process for managing defensiveness when it shows up
Practical strategies for dealing with defensive people (both aggressive and avoidant)
Listening skills that create psychological safety
Action plan template for your unique defensive triggers
Guided reflection exercises
Module 3 introduces the comprehensive Seattle Opera House negotiation simulation—a realistic experiential exercise that teaches you a step-by-step methodology for turning conflicts into collaborative problem-solving opportunities. This isn't about being "nicer" or avoiding difficult conversations; it's about mastering a structured approach that gets your interests met while strengthening relationships.
This comprehensive 46-page workbook provides:
Seattle Opera House complete negotiation simulation with role-play materials
Multiple Interest-Based Problem Solving Preparation Worksheets
The Terrain Through Conflict visual framework

Module 4 gets to the heart of what makes collaboration actually work: your ability to stay open, take accountability for your choices, and communicate authentically even when things get difficult. This isn't about blame or judgment—it's about understanding the patterns you've carried forward from childhood and consciously choosing how you want to show up now.
