What if the biggest obstacles to your team's success aren't what you think they are?

We’re Linwood & Jess.

We know that most team challenges aren't about executing the playbook or delivering more product. They’re about people - the moves they make, how they communicate under pressure, and what happens when things get messy.

The Hidden Challenges

When pressure hits, stress moves take over.
Control. Avoidance. Blowups. Shutdowns. We’ve seen high-performing teams spiral not because they don’t care, but because they’ve never been taught how to stay in it when it counts.

The good news? Those same moments can become turning points.
With the right tools and support, teams can transform conflict into connection, turn frustration into fuel, and move through challenges instead of getting stuck in them.

Clean Communication Under Pressure

We train leaders and teams in Clean Communication Under Pressure…because when pressure hits, things get messy fast.

In our Practice Labs people practice the tools and put in the reps in order to say what’s true before it hardens, reset quickly, time after time, and stay in the conversation when it matters most.

The results come from a repeatable system we call the Clean Communication Code:
A set of simple, high-impact principles that guide how people move, speak, and listen under pressure.

And when that Code gets practiced, here’s what changes:

  • People reset instead of shutting down

  • Leaders model clarity under stress

  • Teammates speak up instead of circling in silence

  • Conflict gets aired and relationships get repaired

  • Teams stop swirling and start moving, together

Not your run-of-the-mill coaches.
