Their insights have been featured in top publications like Fast Company, Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal, but what truly sets them apart is their commitment to actionable change.
In their presentations, audiences will discover how to harness the power of three key words that can radically reshape their emotional intelligence and performance:

Are you ready to bridge the gap?
Let’s redefine what’s possible together!
Do you listen to your listening? Have you ever found yourself listening to someone, and then realize you have entered a rabbit hole of your own thoughts? It happens to everyone. Quality communication arises from how you interact with others, and too much emphasis is often placed on language to do the hard work of communication. Let’s face it, many conversations go sideways.
In a fast-paced, reactive, and noisy world, listening and speaking truth has become more complicated than ever. Great conversations that move the needle forward and improve processes begin with intentional listening. Rooted in practical neuroscience, Edwards and McCleary equip audiences around the world and across industries with paradigm shifts and essential skills to help them communicate and collaborate better with anyone, anywhere, anytime.
