"For many business leaders, the last frontier for exponential growth, the place where they have found a new and sustainable competitive edge, resides in improving human connectivity. In order to stay competitive across the board, the best of the best are investing in becoming communications rich, or as one business leader calls it - black-belt conversationalists. Conversations are the work of a leader and the workhorse of an organization."

- Susan Scott in Fierce Conversations
 

 
Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say,
and Build Genuine, Trusting Relationships

Leadership in today’s world is less about the power of one, and more about the collective wisdom of many.  Leaders must foster strong, meaningful relationships and understand that success occurs one conversation at a time.

TRUE TALK™ is essentially about developing deeper self-awareness, great communication skills, and a capacity to handle change, conflict, and adversity ... aptitudes that are crucial in today's business climate. This program will help you create a climate of collaboration and trust that results in true ownership, responsibility, and accountability.

What People Are Saying

"As a team, we now have more robust dialogue - open, honest, no blaming, non-emotional dialogue. Anyone can challenge anyone else - including our president - as long as it is done non-emotionally, with respect and without blame."
- Rick Stotz, Regional VP, Renal Dialysis Service Provider, Oregon
 

"The program helped to define my current goals and leadership skills. I saw another perspective regarding developing a team. I learned to believe in myself and trust my skills.
- Kathy Woodruff, Regional VP, Renal Dialysis Service Provider, New Mexico/Colorado
 

"This program far exceeded my expectations. There were lots of resources. You couldn't pack this amount of material in a one day off-site conference! It was also very valuable to be able to absorb the lessons during the web conference, try them out during the week, and then come back to the following week's web conference and share those experiences with Jeff and Sally and the group - and hear about other student's experiences as well. We all learned together and applied what we learned to our actual behavior."
- Lorna Wojcicki, Community Medicine Coordinator, Ontario Veterinary College
 

"This program opened my eyes to fierce conversations that I have been avoiding. It offered tools that I am able to apply to have these conversations.  In addition, I was reminded of my personal tendencies that may keep my team from growing.
- Ginine Brentar, Regional VP, Renal Dialysis Service Provider, Arizona
 

"Thank you for giving me the resources and the confidence to say the things I have been too afraid to say before and to be direct without hurting people!"
- Associate Veterinarian, Oregon
 

"I just wanted to let you know that the TRUE TALK™ program was well worth my time. I enjoyed the tele-calls and all of the robust and fierce dialogue that went with it. I think the main benefit for me was in trying to use the techniques for communication both in my personal life and at work. The program gave me the tools to try to change and develop effective meaningful communication. My only regret is that the program was not long enough. Thanks again for an enriching six weeks of learning."
- Adrienne Walker, Clinical Manager, Renal Dialysis Service Provider, Arizona
 

"I had previously read Fierce Conversations, but TRUE TALK™ helped to break it down and find immediate applications to activate the concepts in my life. The book would never have made the kind of sense to me that it did, if not for this program. I strongly recommend this class, not only for the course, but also for the valuable resources and exceptional instructors! I really thought it was amazing."
- Julia Brannan, DVM, Colorado
 

"Improving the team is the key to improving productivity. This is a course that would be very beneficial to veterinary practice teams and would help them grow."
- Veterinary Practice Owner, Arizona
