The Freeze-Out Zombie: When Silence Kills Collaboration
Fri, Dec 19
|Zoom Webinar
Your team is not fighting. They are not overwhelmed. They are not disengaged on the surface. Instead, the room feels cold. People hesitate. Ideas stay unspoken. Decisions take longer than they should. The real conversations happen only in hallways.

About the event
The Freeze Out zombie thrives in silence, avoidance, and the slow erosion of trust. It encourages people to hold back information and insight in the name of keeping the peace. It convinces teams that quiet means everything is fine, even when innovation is freezing in place.
In this fast, practical thirty minute episode, we will unmask how passive resistance and silence undermine collaboration. You will learn exactly what leaders can do to melt the freeze, rebuild psychological safety, and spark courageous dialogue.
For our last Zombie Apocalypse session, we will explore:
• The five things every leader needs to do in order to overcome the Freeze-Out Zombie.
• How to establish healthy conflict that feels supportive rather than destructive.
• The realistic timeline for creating and maintaining a culture where people lean into healthy conflict, speak up, contribute boldly, and stay engaged.
