Say What You Really Think: Building Honest Teams

10 November 2026

Webinar: 3PM - 4PM GMT


In this interactive and inspiring webinar, Michael from Kataholos will explore why people do not always speak openly, where honest conversations are being missed, and how respectful challenge can create more constructive, high-performing teams.

For accounting firms, this means stronger professional judgement, earlier identification of risk, better collaboration and improved client outcomes. In an age of AI-assisted speed, the ability to have honest, respectful human conversations is more valuable—and more sought after—than ever before.

You will learn practical global communication techniques to take back to your team, while also having the opportunity to share and discuss ideas with your fellow RBI members.

Learning objectives:

  • Understand why honest communication can break down, including cultural and age-related influences, and how psychological safety helps people speak up.
  • Explore the importance of modelling respectful challenge, curiosity, listening and constructive disagreement.
  • Practise repeatable techniques—including checklists and open-ended questions—to raise concerns, test assumptions and create more honest team conversations.
