KEYNOTES + SPEAKING
I don’t solve communication problems. I spark real, daring dialogue.
I don’t teach people how to communicate better by handing them a script. I walk them through how to show up: in their humanity, with clarity, compassion, and courage.
We all want to show up as our whole selves .... at work, in community, and in conversation. But when things get hard, uncomfortable, or unclear, most people retreat. They avoid. They silence themselves or others. Especially when tension, conflict, or strong emotion shows up.
The result? Misalignment. Misunderstandings. Cultures where people feel disconnected, disempowered, and disengaged.
Daring Dialogue is about interrupting that pattern.
After two decades and tens of thousands of conversations - across boardrooms, community halls, government offices, and grassroots spaces - I’ve learned this:
People aren’t afraid of dialogue because it’s hard. They’re afraid because they’ve never been shown how to do it well.
The sessions below invite you to dare to do it different. To move beyond surface-level communication and learn what it takes to engage in the kinds of conversations that actually matter. The ones that build trust, repair conflict, and shift culture - for good.
