We know that lack of trust kills two things: performance and relationships. In uncertain times like these, building trust is more imperative than ever, both at work with colleagues and clients, as well as at home - but we need a place to practice.

You are invited to join a virtual “Brave Conversation Over Coffee” workshop facilitated by Elisabeth Cardiello and learn how to use the B.R.A.V.E. framework to take better care of yourself and others as we navigate the unprecedented state of the world around us. This workshop is experiential, meaning it is not a presentation that you attend passively, but rather a conversation that you may engage in actively. You will walk away with tools that you can use in both professional and personal settings.

The B.R.A.V.E. framework is rooted in the neuroscience of trust and allows us to explain and explore the ways in which we can use conversation to empower those around us. We’re all riding the roller coasters of anxiety, grief and gratitude. We are all redefining productivity. We are all navigating what it means to work and live in the same space while maintaining mental and physical health. Our productivity and our relationships necessitate that we learn to take care of ourselves and others in new ways. Since conversation is all we have, let’s use it to better lead ourselves and others.
