"It was one of the more impactful training experiences we have hosted."

We received an exceptionally positive response on Sandy’s session with our senior leadership team. Sandy provided practical tools that are already being used by our leaders, thanks to her clear and approachable style. Her insightful storytelling, combined with her relatable and authentic delivery, made the experience memorable and meaningful for our leaders. She did an excellent job engaging over 150 participants throughout the entire session, which is no small feat.

Connected Conversations™ Advantage Framework

The Connected Conversations™ Advantage Framework helps teams turn emotional intelligence into a daily advantage. It blends five core skills that shift communication from reactive to magnetic, giving people the clarity and tools to connect, lead, and collaborate more effectively.

  1. AWARE (Self-Perception)
    Know what you feel, need, and want before you speak. This emotional clarity builds confidence and self-leadership.
  2. EXPRESS (Self-Expression)
    Speak in a way that makes others feel heard, seen, and respected, even in tough conversations.
  3. ENGAGE (Interpersonal Relationships)
    Build trust and strengthen relationships with curiosity, empathy, and openness.
  4. INVEST (Decision-Making)
    Use emotional awareness to ask better questions, collaborate clearly, and solve problems with impact.
  5. NURTURE (Stress Management)
    Stay calm, adaptive, and resilient, especially under pressure or change.

When teams use this framework, they show up with more clarity, empathy, and confidence. EQ communication becomes a daily skill and a competitive edge.
