For teams who want the missing piece to do hard conversations well

Welcome! I'm Alice
Would you and your team like to:
​
-
Handle hard conversations confidently rather than avoiding them or doing them badly
-
Understand the hidden patterns that trip you up despite your best efforts
-
Build a culture of empathy and respect, where difficult feedback is empowering not damaging
-
Find creative solutions that work for everyone?
Let me introduce you to Needs Understanding, a powerful, practical approach for communication and relationship. When we look at behaviour through the lens of shared needs - like belonging, creativity, or being seen - everything starts to make more sense.
"Brilliant, easy to understand, and applies with equal force in personal and professional contexts."
Sharif Shivji KC, commercial barrister
