So many reasons: 

• ease of being with others
• setting clear expectations

• the ability to express oneself in turbulent times for desired outcomes with minimal “clean up” needed 
• the simple joy of connection with another person 

After years of delivering communication training and executive coaching, I found two key things missing in the sustainability of applying the techniques being learned in the classrooms:  

• understanding “yourself”
• how the techniques would apply outside the classroom in real life

As a result, Graceful Conversations: How to Talk About It was born.  We have incorporated the Gallup StrengthsFinder assessment as a way to learn about yourself and brought it together with real-world examples for you to interface with during the training. This potent combination of deeper self-awareness and how you work combined with practical and proven techniques has provided sustainability of learning in organizations and life in general.  

I’ve had the honor of witnessing hundreds of aha’s in a learning cohort; the feedback comes back weeks, months, and years later regarding the positive impact within a person’s organization, community, and family.  We are so proud to be in the learning with you and hope to hear from you soon to explore the impact Graceful Conversations can have in your world.
