An objective of every courageous conversation is to enrich the relationship – whether it’s with a work colleague, family member or friend. With courageous conversations we can connect, communicate and collaborate more effectively.

‘The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place’ – George Bernard Shaw

  • What is the conversation you’ve been unable to have with your colleagues, partner, or yourself?
  • What has been the economical, emotional and intellectual costs to relationships or companies of not identifying and tacking the real issues?

“A relationship can succeed or fail, one conversation at a time” -Susan Scott

TESTIMONIALS

Karen’s workshop was inspiring, eye-opening and exciting. It was amazing to see some of the breakthroughs in the room and I left the workshop feeling invincible – like I could take on the World. The visualisation technique at the end of the workshop helped me to really step into my vision of my future and what potential it and I could have. Thank you so much Karen, you’re amazing!

Karen is a great communicator and also someone who makes you feel comfortable. Very impressed with the workshop. Really enjoyed it. Great techniques. I got a lot from this workshop and would highly recommend it to others, both within and outside the coaching community.

Bill FitzgeraldSenior Technical Support Engineer

We were looking for someone to help our software engineers (as well as managers and leaders) to flourish through improving their communications and presentation skills. Karen's credentials really stood out to us, and her engagement style made it straight-forward to tailor a package to suit our needs. The feedback received to date is proving it's time well spent, with this response standing out to me, from an experienced yet quiet manager; "I'd go as far to say it was one of the best sessions I have attended in my career".
