$399 /year
If difficult conversations make you hesitate, this Quest is for you.
Workplace conversations today are more complex than ever.
Teams bring together people from different cultures, identities, experiences, and perspectives. While this diversity fuels innovation and creativity, it can also create tension, misunderstandings, and moments where no one knows what to say — or how to say it.
Maybe you’ve experienced it.
A comment that lands poorly.
A conversation that spirals out of control.
A moment when you wanted to speak up… but stayed silent.
When difficult conversations are avoided, trust erodes. Teams become divided. Valuable voices go unheard.
But bold conversations—handled with courage, empathy, and clarity — can transform conflict into connection.
In this Quest, renowned diversity and inclusion expert Verna Myers teaches you how to navigate difficult conversations across differences, interrupt bias constructively, and create environments where every voice feels valued and heard.
Learn the skills to transform tension into meaningful dialogue
Bold conversations aren’t about winning arguments or proving someone wrong.
They’re about creating understanding.
In this transformational Quest, Verna Myers teaches you practical tools to navigate difficult conversations with empathy, confidence, and clarity — even when emotions run high.
You’ll discover how cultural differences shape communication, why bias and assumptions often derail conversations, and how to interrupt harmful dynamics without escalating conflict.
Through powerful stories, real workplace scenarios, and reflective exercises, you’ll learn how to speak up when it matters most.
Instead of avoiding difficult conversations, you’ll gain the courage and skill to lead them — building stronger relationships, more inclusive teams, and a culture of respect where everyone can thrive.
