  • Afraid to Talk? What Are We Not Saying to our Partners?
    Are you holding the conversations you want to have in your intimate relationships? Do you have transparent dialogues that support connection, closeness, and clarity about the agreements you hold within these core relationships, or do you find yourself avoiding conversations about important issues out of fear of conflict? Are you satisfied with the agreements you have within your relationships?
    If you are finding it hard to talk with your partner, and rarely feel connected or experience your conversations as easy, host Nancy Kahn can help you learn new communication skills.
    Nancy shares proven strategies for holding important conversations and sheds light on the common rabbit holes people end up in because they lack essential communication skills to talk about their needs and make clear, direct requests of one another.
    Nancy takes live calls, inviting callers to share their relationship issues and receive coaching or input.
    Listeners are invited to call in​ to the show at 7:30 pm (1-800-958-9008) to ask focused questions about personal relationship issues relating to the topic.

  • Communicating Across Race, Gender and Cultural Differences in the Workplace
    Host Nancy Kahn interviews guest Randi Bryant, a corporate diversity trainer and author, about proven communication and diversity strategies she has found effective in the workplace. They examine how the principles of Nonviolent Communication Across Differences align or contrast with the strategies Randi has found effective in her corporate programs.
    In 2001, Randi founded and still operates a corporate training company which allows her to travel the country educating companies, executives and employees on topics including anti-discrimination, communication in a diverse work environment, and how to capitalize on a diverse workforce.
    Listeners are invited to call in​ to the show at 7:30 pm (1-800-958-9008) to ask focused questions about experiences across differences of race, gender and culture at work that you find challenging, and receive coaching, perspective and empathy from Randi and Nancy.
    About Randi Bryant
     
    Over the past 14 years as president of her company, Randi has grown it from a small start-up consultancy to an award-winning company with a full service staff and a roster of Fortune 100 clients. (Her clients have included Department of Energy, Comcast, SAIC, Department of State, Defense Advanced Research Agency, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, McDonald’s and AT&T.) During these years she became even more fascinated with how uninformed people in the United States are about racial, gender and cultural issues – and how scared they are to discuss them. Randi also writes a popular blog, Beatnik24.com, that frequently addresses issues of race, diversity and communication. Currently, her recently published book Neversays: Things That You Should Never Say is  meant to improve communications in diverse work and social environments, is gaining attention. She is a sought-after speaker on diversity issues and is a graduate of Tuskegee University and The College of William & Mary.
