Mastering Conversational Intelligence®

Turn every conversation into a catalyst for trust, alignment, and decisive action.

What if every status update, Slack ping, or hallway chat could double as rocket fuel for collaboration? Amy’s work reveals a powerful truth: culture scales or sputters, one conversation at a time. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and decades of coaching global leaders, she illustrates how curiosity-driven dialogue unearths hidden insight, dissolves defensiveness, and forges fast trust.

Amy shows that consistent micro-shifts in language compound like interest, creating cultures where ideas travel faster than hierarchy.

This isn’t theoretical inspiration; it’s a practical, field-tested framework anyone can master. Her central insight is simple yet profound: when leaders learn to listen to connect (not to reply) and speak to serve (not to impress), every interaction becomes a force-multiplier for alignment and execution.

Key Takeaways:

-Elevate Conversational IQ: Identify and neutralize reflexes that sabotage listening and trust.

-Spark Rapid Alignment: Guide teams from “who said what” to “what are we building together.”

-Activate Psychological Safety: Embed conversational norms that invite candor and multiply innovation.

-Accelerate Execution: Create shared realities through conversationally intelligent dialogue and shorten feedback loops and reduce rework.

-Scale a Culture of Influence: Equip leaders to model dialogue that inspires engagement beyond their direct reports.
