Better Conversations Every Day

It starts with better conversations. Learn how the art of conversation improves organizations and outcomes.
From everyday interactions to difficult discussions, conversations are the foundation of a positive and connected work environment. Improving the quality of the conversations in your organization can shift the culture, accelerate positive outcomes, and increase profitability. 
 
Better Conversations Every DayTM (BCE) teaches core skills that enable richer, more transparent, and more productive conversations. These conversations expand perspectives, build capability, and nurture an environment of psychological safety and trust. Plus, this powerful and practical research-based framework provides a lifeline to leaders during stressful and challenging conversations.

BCE skills are rooted in research from the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), designed using adult learning methodologies that expand mindset, plus learnings from the 20,000+ hours spent each year coaching clients. The program features the CCL’s LACE framework of four essential practical and memorable communication skills that everyone can learn and apply.
