You came without a manual.
This is one.
A user’s guide to what is already happening inside you starting where it matters most — the difficult conversations of everyday life.
Read what’s near you. Hold your part of the turn.
There’s a conversation you’re not having. The overdue one.
The one you rehearse in your head at three in the morning and then don’t have.
This is where we can start.
Start Here
How you work under pressure — the basics.
The Kitchen Table

The conversation lab
Bring one real conversation. No preparation required.
Angry Mom's Café
A free weekly room. Cameras optional. Come as you are.
For almost 30 years at the United Nations, plus years in consulting, training, and writing, my work has most essentially been changing the conversation. This is what that work taught me: the larger conversations changed one conversation at a time.
