The CLEARER Conversations™ Experience
A leadership reset for navigating hard conversations with clarity, care, and confidence.
You’re expected to address tension, give feedback, and keep things moving, even when the conversation feels high-stakes or unclear. Most support for leaders, though, comes after things have already gotten tough.
This experience helps you show up before things spiral.
A two-part virtual experience for managers and directors who want to handle the people-side of leadership with more ease, especially when the conversation feels high-stakes, long overdue, or just plain uncomfortable.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all script or another checklist.
It’s a guided space to learn a flexible framework you can adapt to your own voice and practice using it with care.
Why this? Why now?
If you manage people, you’ll face hard conversations. It’s part of the role!
However, those conversations don’t have to leave you feeling unsure or alone.
The CLEARER Conversations™ Experience gives you a grounded, repeatable way to approach tension before it spirals, so you can lead in a way that builds trust, even when it’s hard.
Whether you're already navigating friction or want to reset your approach going forward, this is a space to learn, practice, and lead with more confidence and care.
“It felt like therapy and professional development at the same time. I was holding so much and didn’t even realize it. I’m usually the one people come to for support, so I didn’t have a space for myself. Abbiola helped me name things I couldn’t name on my own. It was just helpful to talk to someone outside of the institution. I feel more clear now on how I want to move forward and what kind of leader I want to be.”
