For business and corporate relationships

Bring expectations into the open at work.

AlignSynch gives two people at work a structured way to compare expectations with a colleague, manager, business partner, or customer. Both answer privately; a shared report opens after both accept.

One working relationship. Two private views. A shared report when you are both ready.

How it works

A simple way to compare two perspectives

Choose a relationship template, invite the other person, and answer the same Aspects privately. After you have both reviewed and accepted your answers, the shared report opens.

    Answer privately

Choose a relationship to explore

Begin with a business relationship at work, or choose a personal relationship or friendship. Each template gives both people the same topics to consider.

Templates give both people the same starting point for the relationship they want to explore.

For counselors, therapists, and coaches: AlignSynch can be an optional structure for reflection alongside your existing support. It is not a clinical assessment, diagnosis, therapy, or a substitute for professional judgment.

The AlignSynch model

See where your perspectives meet—or differ.

You both answer the same relationship Aspects. Depending on the assessment, you can record how you feel, what you wish for, and what you think or guess about the other person’s perspective.

Four ways a gap can form

Notice the difference between what you feel or wish and what you think or guess about the other person.

  • FEELYou feel it is different than they feel.
  • WISHYou wish it to be different than they wish.
  • THINKYou think they feel it is different than they really feel.
  • GUESSYou guess they wish it to be different than they really wish.

Four potential pitfalls to notice in most relationships.

Opinions are on a sliding scale

Opinions fall along a scale

An answer can be somewhere between yes and no. A small difference is still useful to notice.

  • Actually, you FEEL it is only slightly different.
  • You WISH it to slowly change only a little bit.
  • They FEEL it is just a tad different.
  • They WISH it to be just a touch different.

What participants said

A clearer view can open a conversation.

These reflections describe seeing where things stand, finding a gentler way to talk, and recognizing that answers aren’t always just yes or no.

See where things stand

“This let me see where things stand and where we wish them to go in the future.”

A shared prompt can give both people a concrete place to begin.

Open a softer conversation

“This works because it opened an easy soft communication channel for me!”
“It was hard for us to discuss these things. This opened our eyes to what we need to work on.”

A shared prompt can give people a gentler way to begin a difficult conversation.

Find more than yes or no

“There would have been no other way for me to see all the angles of this relationship!”
“It allowed us to visit some important relationship aspects in a nice soft way to see what we need to work on.”

Some prompts use a scale so each person can show degrees of difference.

You and the other person respond to the same Aspects, so you can compare views topic by topic.

Keep answers private while you respond

You each complete and review your own answers before the shared report is available.

Open the report together

Your shared report becomes available after both of you explicitly accept your answers.

See differences by topic

The report organizes your perspectives across the Aspects without reducing your relationship to one score.
