Recognize This?

My clients range from large corporations to individuals and families who have one thing in common: they want to improve their relationships, family dynamics or bottom line by improving the way they speak and listen to each other. They want to move beyond conflict, and learn a new way to manage their own internal conflicts.

I supply the communication skills that are missing regarding the simplest and most important aspects of speaking for understanding, and listening for agreement. Typically I work with senior executives and management teams, or with individuals who are ready to improve their communication skills---because they know that quality connection boosts productivity.

Do any of these situations seem familiar?

BUSINESS   People are afraid to speak up about the potential success or failure of a project. Performance reviews are awkward and counter-productive. Internal conflicts are on the rise within teams and/or across teams. Perhaps you are caught up in a seemingly un-resolvable conflict.

ORGANIZATIONS   With the increasing pressure to find new sources of funding, your Board is splintering into disagreement. You’d like to find a new way to approach donors and frame your “ask.”

COMMUNITY GROUPS When people come together, they often ask “am I doing the right thing in relation to myself, my family and the rest of the world?”  Then run into difficulty because they don’t know how to communicate what they believe or how to have a real conversation about it. 

SCHOOLS   The quality of the student-teacher relationship can make all the difference in a student’s potential for success. Disagreement at any level, from students bullying each other to teacher “put downs” to conflict within the administration endanger a fragile learning environment.

INDIVIDUALS  How many times have  you found yourself stuck in disagreement, feeling the hopelessness of failed communication and wishing you knew a better way to express yourself?

If these situations resonate with you or your organization, please continue reading. You’ve come to the right place, because Effective Conversation – training, coaching and mediating - bridges the gap between disagreement and resolution.

If you are ready to make a commitment to personal transformation through the way you converse with yourself and the people around you, you are an ideal client for us.
