Somebody should have known better.
Now you don't trust they care.

IT'S AN SKBC.

A SHOULD-KNOW-BETTER CONFLICT.

WELCOME TO

BURP

TWO YEARS OF MISERY. ONE HOUR CONVERSATION. 

9 SEATS AT THE TABLE

Misery will not

be served at this table. Leave all venting behind.

1. Know Better.

Bring a Should-Know-Better Conflict you can’t get past.

2. Clear The Air.
Discover the unmet need beneath the misery, and what you need to know. 

3. Care and tell them.
Make a Care-In-Action plan to meet needs for trust and confidence and tell them, without fear of being wrong. Without regret, blame or shame.

How I came to BURP

FullSizeRender_edited_edited.jpg

Hello, I'm Gretchen

For over 30 years, I’ve had one-hour conversations with more than 4,000 people who lived with the misery of a Should-Know-Better Conflict (SKBC) because they couldn’t pick paint colors. 
I told them they already knew better.
They just needed to trust themselves to care, without fear of being wrong, regret, blame or shame.
It worked 99% of the time.
Then, I began to wonder if the same conversation would work with a palette of words instead.
It did.
