The Conversation Academy
We witness fights in our schools, teachers walking out of the classroom, children falling behind, and reports that show bullying is at an all time high in the schools across our nation.
We are left feeling unheard, disempowered, and even at times...hopeless.
Our children, teachers, administration, and families often lack awareness, confidence, courage and learned skills to communicate with ease and grace, especially in the most challenging conversations.
They don't know what to say, how to say it, when to say it or even know if it's the "right" thing to say. Conversations are abandoned, dismissed, and left for assumptions to be made by all involved.
That's when it all falls apart.
What if one conversation could change everything?
The Conversation Academy is a community learning center for people of all ages to gain, practice, and master the skills to effectively communicate their desires in any conversation and get the results they want. Every. Single. Time.
We offer workshops, in-school and after-school programs, events, incubators in leadership for children, a platform for leaders within our community, and town hall conversations to connect, inspire, and elevate humanity, one conversation at time.

Myth #1
You have to be positive and nice
to get what you want in a conversation.
Truth: Being genuine and respectful doesn't mean you have to compromise your needs or authority. Authenticity fosters trust and long-term relationships.
Myth #2
You can't get what you want in a conversation without being manipulative.
Truth: Effective communication is built on authenticity and empathy. You can assert your needs and values without resorting to manipulation.
Myth #3
You must always agree with others to avoid conflict.
Truth: Disagreement, when handled respectfully, can lead to more robust and creative solutions. It's possible to disagree without being disagreeable.
I help you get what you want
in any conversation,
every single time.
