Brave Talk,
Bold Outcomes
Elevate the performance of your people with practical tools to handle tough discussions with composure within 90 days.
Having a difficult conversation is like steering a ship through a storm — emotions and tension represent the waves. Storm clouds make the path ahead uncertain and may feel overwhelming.
Avoiding it only makes the storm grow and become more dangerous. A skilled leader steadies the helm with confidence and composure, guiding the crew to calmer waters where trust and clarity prevail.
Are you a General Manager, HR Leader or Functional Head responsible for leaders who are:
Struggling to deal with people challenges so they escalate the issues to you which takes up your time?
Avoiding tough conversations because they lack the skills and confidence, so issues remain unresolved?
​
Trying to keep up with the pace of change juggling competing priorities while keeping their teams engaged?
​
You’re concerned that if you don’t have the tough discussions, you’ll lose credibility.
You’re worried you might lose talented employees because issues remain unresolved
Why this matters:
In today’s dynamic workplace, avoiding tough conversations erodes clarity, damages trust, and impacts performance. Leaders who approach these moments with clarity and respect don’t just resolve issues, they strengthen culture, drive accountability, and unlock better outcomes.
The Brave Talk journey supports leaders to progress from avoidance to confidence, elevating team dynamics from hesitation to clarity and impact.

Your Brave Talk Journey
This model outlines the three components that are essential to Brave Talk
Preparation
Preparation sets the stage. It means having a clear framework, managing your mindset, and entering the conversation with curiosity—not judgement.
Practice
Practice builds confidence. By refining how you listen, speak, and ask questions, you turn awkwardness into skill and clarity.
Presence
Presence creates connection. Staying calm, curious, and aware allows real dialogue to happen —turning conflict into progress.
This program is ideal for you if:
-
Your managers need practical skills and tools to handle difficult conversations with clarity and composure.
​
-
You want your leaders to feel more confident addressing sensitive issues without avoidance or escalation.
​
-
Your team would benefit from greater emotional awareness to improve behaviour, communication, and outcomes.
​
-
Your team would benefit from resolving conflict in a more structured and effective way.

You prefer to avoid conflict rather than address issues early and constructively.
