The Art of Difficult Conversations with Rachel Zurer

​Some conversations feel impossible to start.

​You avoid them. You overthink them. You rehearse what you wish you’d said hours (or years) later.

​And yet—the ability to navigate hard conversations is one of the most essential skills for anyone building a meaningful life or business.
In this workshop, you’ll learn a grounded, human approach to handling tough conversations with more clarity, confidence, and presence—whether it’s with a client, collaborator, or someone you love.

​You’ll learn how to:

• ​Prepare yourself before a difficult conversation (emotionally, mentally, and somatically)

• ​Get clear on your real intentions—and how to stay aligned with them

• ​Use tools like speaking inarguably and “the art of the pause” to stay connected in the moment

• ​Tell the difference between an honest share and a vulnerable reveal (and why the latter builds more trust)

• ​Let your preferences matter—without collapsing into people-pleasing or control

• ​Debrief and reflect afterward to keep growing your skill over time

​We’ll also explore how to express your truth in a way that’s both kind and clear using a body-aware version of nonviolent communication.

​Whether you’re a solopreneur navigating client dynamics or a service provider wanting to deepen your leadership presence, this workshop will help you stop avoiding the hard stuff—and start showing up with more integrity, honesty, and skill.

​You’ll walk away with:

• ​A repeatable structure to prepare, navigate, and debrief hard conversations

• ​Specific language tools you can use right away

• ​More self-trust and less dread the next time something hard needs to be said

​Come learn how to speak your truth in a way that builds trust instead of tension, so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start showing up with more presence and power.
