How you express yourself to clients\, employees\, investors\, and collaborators shapes how people receive you. \n\n\nThis is a four-session program that gives you the skills to communicate more effectively across all of the environments and scenarios where it matters. You’ll learn to say less and land more\, to be comfortable in high-stakes conversations\, and to express yourself in a way that people take in. \n\n\nThe work is hands-on. You practice with real scenarios from your own business\, alongside other owners working through the same things. \n\nWHAT YOU’LL DEVELOP\n\nOver four sessions\, you move through a progression: \n\n\nCommunication Clarity One of the ways we get in our own way is trying to figure out what we’re saying while we’re saying it. When you know your point before you walk into the room\, everything moves more fluidly — the conversation\, the pitch\, the meeting. You’ll learn how to get clear on what you’re trying to express so that when you speak\, it’s simple\, direct\, and easy for others to hold on to. \n\n\nActive Listening Most miscommunication isn’t a speaking problem; it’s a listening problem. You’ll develop the ability to hear what people are actually saying\, not just what you expect them to say. When your clients and your team feel heard\, they trust you more\, they share more\, and the quality of every conversation goes up. \n\n\nCollaboration The best ideas don’t come from one person. They come from the space between people when the communication is right. You’ll learn how to create that space: how to build on what others bring\, how to make room for input without losing direction\, and how to move a group toward a decision without forcing it. \n\n\nAdaptability Every room is different. You’ll develop the ability to read what a situation asks for and adjust how you communicate\, without losing what’s true for you. This is what makes the difference between someone who has one gear and someone who can navigate anything. \n\n\nLeadership Presence Your greatest contribution as a leader is in finding the way you wish to be present. What gets in the way isn’t a lack of skill; it’s trying to be something you’re not\, or not allowing yourself to fully own your way. We help you find how you’re meant to show up. \n\n\nDETAILS \n  \n\n\n📅 Dates: April 19 – May 10\, 2026 (Every Sunday)🕐 Time: 12:30 – 3:00 pm📍 Location: Santa Fe Improv🔄 Format: Four sessions\, 2.5 hours each \n\nYOUR INVESTMENT\n\n$625 full program value $313 per person — made possible by a grant from the City of Santa Fe’s Go Local\, Go Different Fund \n\n\nPayment plans available.
