🧠 Why Curiosity in Conversation Matters
Jul 04, 2025Let’s be honest: most of us are figuring out (rightly AND wrongly) communication as we go.
We’re leading teams, working with clients, managing expectations, navigating burnout, avoiding conflict (or charging headfirst into it), trying to say the right thing at the right time. AND juggling about a hundred other things.
Are you with me so far?...
And you know what is a BIG part of our everyday work and world? Communication.
💬 “Curiosity isn’t soft — it’s strategic.”
🌀 Curiosity in Conversation. THE Summit for Communication Nerds.
Why this event? What was I thinking?
I love hanging out with amazing people who love what they do, who have something concrete to offer and who understand the meaning of value. And I'm a Communication Nerd - I want to keep learning myself and continue to grow my own skills and strategies.
You should attend and here's why (the "pitch slap")
❎ Not another cookie-cutter conference.
❎ Not another Zoom room full of buzzwords and vague advice.
❎ Not another sit on your ass for 6 hours and pretend to listen.
I want something different and I think others do too.
✅ For professionals who care about the how of what we say and the why behind how it’s received.
✅ For any person who believes we can study, learn and improve communication through excellent teaching and coaching.
✅ For other Nerds that need a place to find their people!
💬 “Every professional conversation is either building connection or breaking it.”
