Have you ever felt awkward talking with a person who seems different?
Do you wish you could have more genuine conversations?
Could you use some tools to feel confident talking with just about anyone?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, you’re in the right place.

She holds a PhD in adult learning and has over three-decades experience speaking, teaching and coaching-domestically and internationally.🔸So Often We Default to Silence Because We Don’t Feel Comfortable or Confident Speaking Up. After years of being belittled under the system of minimization, women, people of color and those who are differently-abled may hesitate to speak up for fear of retaliation, misrepresentation, social isolation or job loss, even when asked to speak up. To upend the silence and find our voice, we need cultural intelligence.
🔸Cultural intelligence is what enables us to be in conversation with a person who has a different perspective or background. As a person develops the skills to show compassion for themselves and others, particularly those who have a different experience, they’ll be able to speak up and communicate confidently with just about anyone.
🔸At home this creates more genuine productive relationships; at work this creates more collaboration, commitment and productivity because people can bring their authentic selves.
Presentation takeaways:
In this program, participants will be able to:
👉Uncover the cultivated cultural habit of minimizing our own and other’s voice.
👉Identify the three ways to respond when someone comes in hot.
👉Learn three tools you can use today to feel confident working and talking with just about anyone.
