Everyone at the sessions was blown away! Kirsten & Kathy drastically changed my perspectives on approaching hard conversations. The stress levels for me have decreased a lot.
Kirsten and Kathy were so easy to work with, and really customized their sessions to meet our needs. They even had identified some needs for our staff that we hadn't really identified because we were too deep in the mud. I can't wait to work with them again.​

Kirsten is an amazing facilitator! We have had opportunity to work with her in our organization (Dress for Success) on several occasions. She provides programming content for our clients under our Professional Women's Group, leading them through workshops on Visions and Values as well as on Curious Conversations. Client feedback from her sessions was so incredible (folks have asked to repeat!) that we brought her to our board to help us determine our values. Would highly recommend.

Did you know...

From the moment you are born, you learn what it’s like to have conversations by watching and listening to your parents, caregivers, family members, teachers, and coaches.

As you learn and grow, you may actively choose to communicate differently, not repeating the same mistakes you experienced growing up. 

But what happens when your emotional buttons get pushed, and your back is up against the wall?

You resort back to what you know. You do what has been modeled to you even if you don’t like it and know it’s not effective.

The truth is, it’s up to you to figure out how to do it effectively and we understand how hard it is to figure it out on your own.

Most people struggle in difficult, uncomfortable conversations, causing unnecessary {expensive} conflict and emotional waste.

We give you proven conversation skills backed by neuroscience, so you can confidently engage in every conversation eliminating emotional conflict at work and home.

We have taught thousands of professionals, teams, and parents Curious Conversation Skills so they no longer struggle. We can teach you, too.
