TEAMWORK does make the DREAM work.
“I create and facilitate meetings and workshops for teams who want to strengthen their communication, connection and collaboration!”
““Shea’s emotional intelligence has clairvoyance with freakish abilities. It scares me - and I’m a coach.””
Leadership Team Success!
I partner with leadership teams at all levels to diagnose what’s getting in the way of performance and connection. From there, we design a customized experience to strengthen communication, clarify roles, unlock ideas, and create forward momentum. Also, I’m a of fun.
Interpersonal Communication Workshops
Your team was hired for their technical expertise.
I’m hired to ensure they can actually work together effectively.
Most communication breakdowns aren’t caused by lack of skill — they’re caused by differences in communication styles, decision-making approaches, and unmet expectations. I help teams understand those differences, reduce friction, and replace assumptions with clarity.
Using behavioral insight, facilitated conversation, and practical tools, I teach teams how to:
Understand their own communication patterns
Recognize how others process information and make decisions
Adapt their communication to different personalities
Navigate tension and feedback productively
Speak more clearly, directly, and constructively
This is not a lecture. It’s a highly interactive, real-world workshop where teams practice new behaviors, work through real scenarios, and build confidence using skills they can immediately apply.
As a certified partner with The Predictive Index, I assess the behavioral strengths, needs, and communication tendencies of your team, allowing us to target root causes — not surface-level symptoms.
The result:
Fewer misunderstandings. Stronger relationships. Better collaboration. Faster decisions. Better performance.
Communication Workshop with Dana & Shea!
What Happens When Two Actors Who Are Also Coaches Team Up?
Magic. Momentum. And a room full of fully engaged humans.
Dana Black and I combine performance training, coaching expertise, and facilitation skill to deliver high-energy Communication & Connection workshops that radically improve how teams show up, speak up, and relate to one another.
Together, we teach your team the 7 Signals of Communication —
a practical, memorable framework that strengthens:
Communication delivery
Self-awareness
Presence and confidence
Connection with others
This isn’t a sit-and-listen workshop.
It’s interactive. Experiential. Real.
Expect laughter, movement, live coaching, crowd interaction, and powerful moments of insight —
all grounded in performance tools your team can immediately apply at work.
With over 60 years of combined performance and coaching experience, we know how to hold a room,
read an audience, and create experiences that stick.
This is a one-of-a-kind workshop you won’t find anywhere else.
Invite us to teach. Coach. Facilitate.
Your team will leave more connected, more confident, and better communicators.
It’s where communication skills meet performance energy.
“In a word, EXCEPTIONAL! Dana & Shea presented an impactful, and at times, theatrical workshop on communication. The dynamic duo was able to craft a message that was custom tailored to our needs and kept everyone on the edge of their seats. I would highly recommend them for any gathering that has a need for fun, interactive, and inspiring speakers.There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
