Hard Conversations Made Easier

Speak with courage, listen with curiosity, and move forward with others.

Virtual Workshop:

June 18, 2025 | 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM EST

Right now, so many teams are quietly avoiding the conversations that matter most. Not just about the work, but about the world around the work. Topics that feel emotionally charged, politically sensitive, or just… risky.

The fear is real: say the wrong thing, and you might damage the relationship. So we stay silent. Or we blurt and regret it. Or we go in guns blazing and drive the wedge deeper.

EARLY BIRD: $44 (Until June 4th) | $59 After June 4th | Group discount for 3+ seats.

Spots are limited—don’t wait.

This 90-minute virtual session introduces a mindset and framework for turning emotionally charged, high-stakes conversations into moments of clarity, connection, and forward movement. Whether you’re navigating uncertainty, unspoken tension, or wildly different perspectives, this session helps you show up with more curiosity, calm, and confidence.

It’s not about avoiding conflict or forcing agreement. It’s about building the courage and skill to face what’s real, together.

Who Should Attend: You don’t need to be the boss, you just need to care. This session is for anyone who wants to show up more grounded and effective in tough conversations especially when the topic feels personal, risky, or outside your comfort zone.

You’ll Walk Away With:

  • A practical framework for having honest conversations – without spiraling into drama or avoidance
  • Sentence starters and strategies to help you open the door with curiosity, not defensiveness
  • Ways to stay grounded, present, and productive, even when things get heated
  • Language that helps teams turn tension into trust and conflict into clarity
  • Tools to close conversations with shared agreements, next steps, and stronger relationships

Why This Matters NOW

Avoiding the conversation doesn’t make the tension go away, it just makes it quieter and harder to name. And over time, it erodes trust, connection, and collaboration.

Whether it’s something happening in the world or just around the office, this session helps you navigate complexity with maturity, clarity, and care. Because the strength of your team isn’t about how well you agree – it’s about how well you move through disagreement.
