She's Helping You Have Honest Conversations

About this session

Are you completely honest with the people in your life? Do you put off having potentially difficult conversations, or avoid them altogether? Is your best resolution to stay quiet, hope for the best, or try and get over it?

Tough conversations take courage, grace, and wisdom. Laurie Gerber will teach you how to identify the conversations you need to have in your life, whether at work or at home, and more importantly, show you how to craft those much-needed talks so that you'll both listen well and feel heard. Expect to finish this talk feeling like you can handle anything. Because you can.

Laurie Gerber

Head Life Coach at Handel Group ® Life Coaching

Passionate about personal development, Laurie has been coaching individuals and groups for over 15 years. She holds a degree in Education and Political Science from Swarthmore College, and was certified to teach elementary school. Before enthusiastically joining the Handel Group, Laurie owned and operated Partners with Parents, a tutoring and educational consulting business in New York City. In eight years, Laurie has built Handel Group ® Life Coaching from “nearly non-existent” to a team of skilled coaches. She considers herself “an angel recruiter” because she is busy looking for other people who share her mission to instill more joy and peace in the world. “When all people are living true to their ideals, then I can rest,” she says.

She doesn’t anticipate being able to rest anytime soon. Her professional and personal mission is to better the world by teaching people to tell the truth and pursue their dreams. Her focus is on maximizing clients’ ability to thrive across all areas of life – health,love, career, money, family, etc. Laurie spreads her message of empowerment through live international events, one-on-one coaching, virtual coaching courses, as a writer, on radio and in TV appearances such as MTV’s True Life Special: I’m Getting a Second Chance, A&E’s The Marriage Test, the Dr. Phil Show and the TODAY show.
