Brave Conversations is a highly engaging, practical workshop. It provides an opportunity to rehearse those crucial, but difficult conversations.

This interactive and fun workshop builds participants’ skills and confidence in holding honest, challenging, brave conversations with authenticity and courage. The workshop uses professional actors to bring the subject matter to life and give the opportunity for realistic practice.

Miles has over 27 years’ experience as a facilitator and coach. He started his career as an actor – and having been asked by the BBC to use his skills in a training room, very quickly realised the potential of using actors to bring corporate learning to life. He recognised that individuals have only truly ‘learned’ something once they are able to go away and practice that learning in real life.

One of Miles’ key strengths is his ability to work with, build rapport and challenge staff from all levels of an organisation, from shop floor to board level.
