Messy Conversation Convention:
reactions
How do I not LOSE IT in this conversation?
You know that moment when you can feel yourself starting to react?
Your heart rate goes up. Your tone shifts. You’re already preparing the comeback. And somewhere inside your head, there’s a little voice saying, Don’t cry. Don’t walk away. Do NOT say that.
…and then sometimes we do it anyways.
Welcome to the Messy Conversation Convention: REACTIONS series.
This one is for anyone who has ever gone into a conversation intending to be calm, thoughtful and reasonable, and then found themselves defending, shutting down, snapping back, walking away or saying the thing they absolutely planned NOT to say.
Because reactions happen. Especially when something matters..
And often, the hardest part is staying present enough to use our communication tools when the conversation gets hard.
What you can expect
A closer look at what happens when reactions take over in conversations that matter.
Practical ways to notice what’s happening sooner before the reaction starts driving.
A focus on presence, behaviour and impact and how those pieces connect.
Space to explore the gap between what we meant and how we landed.
Simple ideas you can carry into real conversations and start using right away.
This time, we’re offering 2 ways to get messy with us.
REACTIONS: THE WEBINAR
45 minutes. Big ideas. No breakout rooms required.
DECEMBER 8, 2026 | 10-10:45AM MT
Short on time? Prefer to listen, reflect and take it all in? This one’s for you.
Our free 45-minute Zoom webinar is a chance to look at what happens when a conversation starts pulling a reaction out of us, and what it can look like to stay more present inside those moments.
REACTIONS: THE WORKSHOP
90 minutes. More getting into it together. Time to make it REAL.
DECEMBER 15, 2026 | 10-11:30AM MT
Expect conversation, reflection, breakout rooms and other wonderfully imperfect humans trying to get a little better at the conversations that matter.
Our free 90-minute Deep Dive takes the similar ideas from the webinar and gives us more time to actually work with them together... through conversation, small-group exercises and real situations you’re navigating.
