Meet the Founders

We're Kirsten & Kathy.

Many of us are conditioned to avoid discomfort and shy away from difficult conversations, especially when stressed.

Yet, these conversations offer valuable insights that can enhance understanding, strengthen relationships, and fuel business success.

Our training provides you with the tools to navigate these discussions effectively, even in high-stress situations.

With neuroscience-backed techniques, we equip you to confidently engage in any conversation by fostering deeper inquiry, exploring different perspectives, and seeking true understanding.

We’d be honored to partner with you on this journey.

{And yes, we really are mother/daughter}

What Our Clients Say

Are You Truly Prepared for High-Stakes Conversations?

Discover how stress impacts communication—and learn to thrive under pressure.

Most feel they communicate well when things are calm, but it’s often in stressful moments that your true communication skills are put to the test.

Under pressure, your words and reactions can shift in ways you might not even notice.

The reality is that stress can subtly undermine even the best communicators, leading to misunderstandings, frustration, and conflict.

While businesses and organizations rely on the effectiveness of each individual, many fail to consider how stress impacts their ability to perform.

Communicating effectively under stress is a critical skill, and we give you the tools you need to navigate these high-stakes conversations with confidence.

Using neuroscience-backed techniques and a framework grounded in emotional intelligence, we help you engage meaningfully in any conversation—by deepening inquiry, exploring diverse perspectives, and seeking true understanding.

Our difficult conversation training has transformed the lives and careers of thousands of professionals, teams, and parents.

Take the first step toward transforming how you communicate under pressure— contact us and unlock the power to connect in conversations that drive real change.
