Want to start a courageous conversation?

Sick of breaking down silos, being the conduit between business units or departments. Playing school yard referee to your leadership team. Unclear on the leadership direction whether they're aligned to the vision and mission of the business. Time for a change.

Having leaders who are open, honest, have robust relationships are aligned to the future business direction and have clear lines of communication means.

Why Courageous Conversation Matters:

In an age of texting, tagging and tweeting, we've lost the ability to have the conversations that count at a time when we need them the most.

You might not realise this, but we avoid these conversations based on fear. We're scared about the perceived reaction from the other person, but that's just a story you've made up in your heads, not the reality.

Holding Courageous Conversations means getting over what's stopping you from having the conversation in the first place and skill-fully addressing the behaviour and issue, rather than the person.

With more courage, we can take on harder projects, navigate change, and speak up more willingly without fear of retribution and talk about the issues that will actually make a difference.

During this one day Masterclass you'll learn how to specifically address performance issues, deliver bad news, deal with difficult behaviours and resolve interpersonal issues.

Learning the art of having Courageous Conversations will change the way you work, live and talk... Ready?

What participants say

It has all been extremely valuable! It has reignited my leadership energy which has been a lesser priority in recent times due to my dual role."

Fiona Turner - Chief Admin Officer, WCH

Ally's coaching allowed me to enhance my influence as a leader not only in my professional life but also in my personal life. Coaching has helped me to master my communication style and uncover blocks to my personal success. If you are willing to look deeply and honestly within yourself so that you can reach your highest potential then Ally is the perfect guide.

Dr Gayle Kothari - Senior Leader RSPCA SA

Ally took us on such a great personal and professional journey. I am beginning a new career and Ally gave me the tools to feel confident and assertive. We learnt a lot about our individual personalities and how this can help us be productive and successful in the workplace. Ally was engaging and took the time to get to know us before the course which made it feel really personal. I walked out of the classroom each day with my head held high and my confidence boosted. A big thank you. I am no longer afraid to have courageous conversations!

Lucy Feltus - Manager, RSPCA SA

Ally is a legend. I have engaged Ally several times to work with staff to improve their communication and leadership. We invited her to run a session at our planning day on courageous conversations. She had the whole group engaged throughout the session and they haven't stopped taking about it since. It is also great to see the team put into practice what they have learnt each day. Highly recommend her for any business that wants to stay ahead of the game.
