PowerfulYour Business Needs BOTH.

If leaders and teams are struggling, so is your bottom line.

Team and leadership development isn’t a one-and-done program. From new hires to retirees, customized training and development is critical to your business success. Your teams and leaders should be strong, empowered, and effective. To accomplish this, they need your support!

We help people understand people through:

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

We often hire for skills and expertise but ignore the leadership competencies that make the best leaders for your organization.

INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENTS

Before we worked with The Conversations That Matter, our team didn’t know how to have conversations. We needed a tool to give us a starting place so we could regain some control. The customization of the program and Tammy’s hands-on, dive-in approach were the keys to getting people excited so that we could improve our internal communications. Now we have a tool in our toolbelt and a person we can call to help troubleshoot when we need it.

Julia Rancone

Partner/VP Creative Strategy, Ultra

The Conversations That Matter workshop offered multiple different ways to enable learning for each style— through physical movement, video, written learning, conversation, reading, etc. All learning styles were covered and that was most helpful. No one style was valued over any other and all had assets to bring to any situation.

Connie Menne

Vice President, CSSN Operating Group The Mentor Network

We wanted to provide our teams with knowledge of their different styles and how they can be used to support business growth. The Conversations That Matter workshop was engaging, knowledgeable, willing to get to the depths of our needs and resourceful in offering solutions to get there.

Tools to help you build stronger
leaders and teams!

The teams and leaders in your organization deserve the best tools, resources, and people to guide them.

Introducing: The Leadership Essentials Toolkit

As a learning and development professional, it is really hard to provide for every need that the leaders and teams in your organization have.

We see it all the time. Someone comes to you with a challenge and you have to scramble to find a resource that will help them. Not having the right tools at your fingertips makes you feel less-than-awesome. The Conversations That Matter has been training teams and leaders to be their very best for more than 10 years. In addition to being our CEO and a top 5 Everything DiSC facilitator in the world, Tammy Krings is also known for the insightful, smart tools she creates to support people in reaching their professional goals and building healthy relationships.

About The Conversations That Matter
Tammy Krings, CEO

Organizations and leaders will always need development. We are humans, not robots. There are countless resources to help with this development and many are good.

Tammy’s deepest desire is to provide you with consistent, thoughtful, authentic tools that help you lead better, build better teams and reach every goal you set. She seeks to understand what’s really at the core of challenges; she understands what’s at stake; and she craves the joy that comes when you can turn a problem around or prevent it in the first place!
