Couch Coach Fridays
Couch Coach Fridays is my monthly virtual coaching and conversation space where we tackle the real (and sometimes ridiculous) challenges of the workplace. Each month, I'd like to meet as a community to help you navigate shenanigans, speak up with confidence, and protect your peace—served with humor, honesty, and a side of “nope, not on my watch.” It’s part professional development, part group therapy, and 100% real talk.
Who It's For
Professionals (especially women and Black & Brown leaders) who are done repeating themselves and ready to communicate with clarity and confidence.
October's Theme: "They Tried It"
Ever feel like half your job is repeating what you just said? It’s time for people to start reading those emails, checking the agenda, or – a radical concept – actually listening. If you’re anything like me, these repeat questions from “habitual non-listeners” have you side-eyeing across the room, wondering if you’re on mute! Join me as we explore how to navigate these energy-draining moments, share a few laughs, and establish some comfortable boundaries.🙄
What you’ll get
Join Lindiwe Davis (The Couch Coach) for 60 minutes of humor, relatable stories, and—most importantly—practical strategies to make your message stick the first time. Bring that dusty journal you have not picked up, grab a little wine or non-alcoholic drink of choice, and get on that couch!
Insights from the Couch Coach live.
Access to a one-pager, also known as a quick guide.
Thoughts on how to Respond— aka“Receipts without rage”: polite documentation that ends the loop.
