Most organizations can describe exactly what they do not like about their results. Almost none of them can describe the pattern producing those results. In this conversation, Kathy covers: -Why noticing feels passive, and why skipping it costs you the whole effort -The threads holding up your organization: policies, hierarchies, and positions built for a world that no longer exists -Why reacting with fast solutions burns the trust you will need later .

What if the first step in changing your workplace isn't building something new, but undoing what's already there? Kathy Coffey Solberg is a community weaver who also literally weaves fabric — and she couldn't unsee the parallel. A floor loom, with hundreds of threads running through tiny metal pieces, looks exactly like the systems we navigate at work every day. That insight became her first book, "Reweaving What Matters: Practical Tools for Workplace Transformation."

Sarri talks with Kathy about the book that she is writing and the concepts of Unweaving.

Kathy talks about why change management fails as individuals are exhausted and have often lost trust of those in the workplace. They have tried many things to fix their workplace. Unweaving begins with looking at where we are now and honoring how we got here while discerning what needs to be let go of to transform workplaces and align with what is needed now.

Kathy Coffey Solberg explores the basic tools that allow each of us to have the tools to build and connect to community in our individual lives.
