In a meeting someone drained energy, violating our value of creating positive memories. I could ignore it or attack publicly. Instead I walked with them and said, 'The you I know wasn't in that room. What's getting in your way?' We reconnected behavior to value, they apologized, and colleagues checked in. Values plus learning moments reduce fear.
