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

“
I really enjoyed Karen’s workshop and got loads out of it. It was really useful to have Karen take me through the techniques in person and I am looking forward to continuing the techniques and getting the benefits from them. I feel empowered and motivated to succeed.
Cian TannerSenior Manager @ Deloitte Ireland

“
Its interesting and valuable to question yourself in relation to others and the belief systems you have. This workshop enabled me to look at this, identify not only the ‘benefits’ but also the cause and effects to me and how I might change them. Using the visualisation of a different happier memory and belief was very helpful.
Orla DempseyCareer Coach

“
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'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". We are delighted with progress to date and wouldn't hesitate in recommending for other organisations.
