Our mission is Thriving Companies, Great Leaders. Avoiding Tough Conversations as leaders keeps us stuck and small, and is horrendously expensive. Our teams and companies are less engaged, experiencing conflict, and sometimes even quitting. But having Tough Conversations with courage and skill can become the defining moments of our careers, our relationships, and our lives. And employees become happier, thriving contributors who want to stick around because they love their job. David Wood talks with thought leaders like Byron Katie and Jack Canfield, top CEOs, and even prison inmates, to help you identify your Tough-Conversations Waiting-to-Happen, and to have those conversations with confidence and skill. So instead of the conversations blowing up in your face, you will artfully transform them into landmark events that expand your life, business, career, team and company. Tough Conversations = Extraordinary Work Results + Life Results. “The gold lies just on the other side of those scary interactions.” More at http://playforreal.life Key topics: leadership training, team building, engagement, difficult conversations, crucial conversations, team coaching, corporate coaching, executive coaching, team training.

Be The Bad-Ass Leader People Want To Follow
I was recently interviewed about my new book by Kathryn Thompson, host of Be the Sought After Entrepreneur. We had an exciting conversation about my book, Mouse in the Room, and I went over some key points on being the bad-ass leader people want to follow!
We discuss:
How to have radical personal transformation. The RIGHT way to say what's on your mind so you don't have regrets. Your roadmap to truth. How to take advantage of the 3D Process. Create the space for what's truly meant to come to you. A request for help!
If it resonates, we would love for you to be part of the mouse naming revolution! Here’s how you can do that:
Get the book at Mouse in the Room or Amazon. (Psst! There are some amazing bonuses for you!) If you think Mouse in the Room deserves 5 stars, please leave a review on Amazon. Post on social media that you got the book. Mouse naming is hard to do in isolation and easier if everyone does it! Let your friends have the opportunity to mouse name as well. We have some awesome promotional content and assets you can use on our site. Kathryn Thompson is an award-winning marketing and communications expert, and the Founder of Creatively Owned.
