When we take the time to sit down and listen to people’s personal experiences, we begin to understand: what’s in our hearts is more similar than different.
Since I was a kid, I have wanted to do work that helps people. This course is one way of bringing my life purpose to the world. I am still learning, just like you. Let’s do this together!
Each week, a different guest speaker will bring their expertise to the course. Course participants will learn to adjust their thought process and practice these skills:
- Session 1, Oct 8th: Listening to Understand, with Andrea Wiener of Coaching Alchemy. Listening is the single most important skill of healing conversations.
- Session 2, Oct 15th: The Power of Empathy and Clarity in Conversations, with Jackie Sloane of Sloane Communications. Entering conversations with intention and empathy are vital components to healing conversations.
- Session 3, Oct 22nd: Connecting with Commonalities, with Justine Lee of Make America Dinner Again, and Living Room Conversations. Finding what we have in common creates trust and a strong foundation for healing conversations.
- NOTE: In addition to the live elements, participants will receive resource materials, links, and all session recordings.
If priced separately, the course is valued at over $450. However, because we believe in the importance of this work, we are offering this entire course for only $49.
Join me online for the next session. Together we can create positive change in the world!
With Better Smarter Stronger, Caytie merges her purpose and passion into an organization that provides inspiration and education. She believes in each person’s innate goodness and ability to evolve towards their best self. This isn’t about perfection.

We make the world better when we make ourselves better.
Part 1: Listening to Understand - Thursday, October 8, 2020
Caytie and her guest, Andrea Wiener, dive into the most important part of any conversation - listening. We will learn what "listening to understand" is and how we can all practice this important skill.
As an entrepreneur, team leader, and high-performing sales executive, with experience from New York to San Francisco, she draws on her own sales and management skills, as well as her rigorous coaching and leadership training, to shape collaborations with her clients.
Her coaching is informed by training in Jungian Psychology, Neuroscience, Emotional Intelligence, Nonviolent Communication, Mindfulness Practice, Meditation and…Magic.
Part 2: The Power of Empathy and Clarity in Conversations - Thursday, October 15, 2020
Caytie and Jackie will discuss how entering conversations with intention and empathy are vital components to healing conversations. When we see each other as emotional beings and not "things", it will shift the whole dynamic.
Before becoming a coach, Jackie founded a marketing communications services firm that specialized in positioning, and grew visibility and sales for a range of clients. She has served clients at privately-held, nonprofit, public sector and Fortune 100 firms.
She has two coach certifications, including Master Certified Coach. She is a mentor for Chicago Innovation’s Women’s Co-op.
Part 3: Connecting with Commonalities - Thursday, October 22, 2020
Part 3 will be about establishing connection through what we have in common and using that to build trust and strong foundation to healing conversations. Commonalities can help break down the barriers by discussing ideas and sharing stories.
She is currently a contributing partner at Living Room Conversations responsible for developing strategy around reducing political polarization, managing volunteers, and leading efforts around communications and partnerships. Justine believes conversations and storytelling have the power to inspire civic engagement and action, and has facilitated conversations around issues she cares deeply about like racial justice, news in the modern world, and inclusive design.
In her free time, she enjoys cooking for friends, watercolor painting, taking long walks in Central Park, and leading book clubs. Ways to her heart: noodles, handwritten letters, and dogs of all kinds. Justine lives in Harlem, NYC.
