Open Enrollment Communication Workshops for Professionals
Live monthly workshops designed to help professionals communicate with more clarity, confidence, and control in the moments that matter most.
From active listening and tone of voice to thought organization and audience awareness, each 90-minute virtual session targets a specific communication skill that affects how you are heard at work. Led by a licensed speech-language pathologist, these workshops offer practical, science-backed training to help you show up more effectively in meetings, presentations, interviews, networking, and everyday workplace interactions.

Lightning Lessons - FREE
Try the topic before you commit to it.
Lightning Lessons are free, interactive sessions for exploring something new in communication. Ask questions out loud, test an idea in real time, and leave knowing whether you want to go deeper. Or just leave smarter. Both are permitted.
An online learning platform. It runs registration, streaming, and recordings, so everything lives in one place.
