Brilliant training, guided by two gifted actors who have deep understanding of workplace communication challenges. The level of emotional intelligence and connection was exceptional, and as a result I was able to identify workable action steps for my next courageous conversation.

Enjoyed the practical and interactive demonstration style of this Courageous Conversation training. Presenters were really engaging and brought the theory to life.

Thank you Mel, we're glad to hear you enjoyed our open workshop.
Stewart and William delivered an excellent bespoke voice coaching session for our group of museum volunteers. Stewart was keen to understand exactly the issues faced by our group so that the half-day session met our needs. The session was professional yet relaxed. No questions were out of bounds. We found this to be a very useful exercise for the group and are grateful to Talking Shop Training. One participant said:
"Stewart took time to listen to us and to understand what we needed from him. He shared his expertise with warmth, confidence and humour."

Thank you very much Jess for your review, we're glad the participants found the session engaging.
Great training to recognize we can all have 'courageous conversations' with some thought and practice. Great trainers, Clare and Stewart, who kept a great pace going but involved everyone without it being rushed. Their strategy relied on the training group directing them to show an empathetic and productive meeting can be achieved when you might be dreading the conversation. I would really recommend this training. Thanks again.
