A short look at what Danny teaches in the course.

“I don't control you. So I'm not going to try. Instead, I'm going to help you control yourself.”

When we feel pressure, we tend to push: tell people what's wrong, how to fix it, and not to let it happen again. That sets off fear, and fear brings out people's worst. Danny shows a better way: lower the anxiety, accept who people are, and use good questions to hand the problem back to the person who owns it.

The old question "How do I get them to do what I want?"
The better question "Am I bringing out your best, or your worst?"

When people stop protecting themselves from you, they start giving their best.

What you'll be able to do

Four short lessons, about 38 minutes of video. Tools you can use with your team this week.

Lower the fear

Understand what happens when people feel threatened, and take responsibility for your own effect on the people around you.

  • Spot when the brain shifts into "protect yourself" mode
  • Name the messages of control, rejection, and invalidation
  • Show acceptance without accepting every behavior
  • Listen so people know they add value
safe

Let go of control

See how the belief that you can control people leads to power struggles, and what changes when you settle that question.

  • Notice when you decide someone isn't worth hearing
  • Recognize the "yellow truck" in your own approach
  • Let people influence you and be themselves
  • Understand odd behavior as a sign of fear
free

Confront with questions

Hold people accountable in a way that leaves them more powerful than before, and builds allies instead of opponents.

  • Find the real problem, not just its fruit
  • Ask who is affected, and what will change
  • Offer help without taking over
  • Set a follow-up that keeps people accountable
