You Don't Need Another Conversation.
You Need a Framework That Works.
Most people avoid difficult conversations, or they walk away from them feeling unheard, disrespected, or misunderstood. This roundtable changes that.
Sound Familiar?
You're in a meeting that goes sideways. A colleague crosses a line. A difficult topic surfaces at the dinner table or in the boardroom, and you freeze, over-react, or walk away wishing you had handled it differently.
The problem isn't that you don't care. The problem is that nobody ever taught you a repeatable, respectful way to respond in the moment.
This roundtable is your first step toward changing that.
Here's What You'll Walk Away With

A Practical CVI Framework Learn and discuss one of the proven Critical Voices Initiative frameworks for navigating difficult conversations, immediately applicable to your real life.
-

-

Candid, Small-Group Dialogue Attendance is intentionally limited so every voice gets space. Ask real questions. Get real answers. No fluff.
Lenora
Founder, Critical Voices Initiative
"I built this work because I watched brilliant people lose relationships, opportunities, and communities, not because they were bad people, but because they never learned how to communicate in difficult situations and have respectful conversations."
Lenora has spent over three decades studying, practicing, and teaching the art of difficult conversations across cultures, industries, and communities. Her work sits at the intersection of emotional intelligence, cross-cultural communication, and practical leadership.
She created the L.I.S.T.E.N. and S.T.O.P. Frameworks, deceptively simple and deeply powerful approaches that have transformed how thousands of people engage with the conversations that matter most.
The Critical Conversations Roundtable is your opportunity to experience this work firsthand: live, interactive, and complimentary.
This Is the Moment
You've Been Waiting For
You've felt it before: the conversation that went sideways, the moment you wished you had the right words. This roundtable is your reset.
It's Only 60 Minutes
One focused hour with an expert facilitator, a small group of peers, and a framework you can use the very next day. No long commitments, no fluff.
Seats Are Intentionally Limited
This isn't a mass webinar. Attendance is capped by design so every participant has space to engage, ask questions, and be truly heard.
Completely Complimentary
No cost, no catch. This is Lenora's gift to leaders, professionals, and community members who are ready to show up differently in difficult moments.
Real Tools, Not Theory
You'll leave with worksheets and a digital resource you can reference long after the session ends. Practical assets, not just inspiration.
A Safe Space for Real Talk
Because the session isn't recorded, participants can be candid. Bring your real questions. Expect honest, expert answers in a respectful environment.
A Glimpse of What's Coming
The session closes with a brief introduction to the Critical Voices Academy, beginning October 1, your next step if you're ready to go deeper.
