Ray and Beard took part in the world renowned workshop, “Fierce Conversations”. The workshop pushed attendees to expand their communication techniques to become more effective. The class pushed you to stay authentic, speak the truth and interrogate everyone’s reality in order to increase the likelihood of all relationships expanding and growing in positive ways.

The phrase that stood out to me as the most significant and also summarized the workshop was- the conversation IS the relationship” , said, Ray.
