How the two hours run
Short framing, then practice with someone watching.
The facilitator opens with the situations people brought in, frames the skill briefly, and then the room works: role-play, real cases, feedback in the moment. With 25 seats at most, every person practices and every person gets coached.
Sessions run on Microsoft Teams and are published here as they are scheduled. The meeting link is issued after registration. Coach Taylor preps each participant before and follows up after.
Coming up

Who teaches
Held the job. Not studied it.
Content is the easy part to buy. A dozen vendors will sell you a library this afternoon. What none of them sells is the person who has already done the job, live, for two hours, watching your people practice it.
Every Thrive session is led by someone who has done the work they are teaching: run a shift, carried a quota, managed a team through a change, sat across from the person who needed the hard conversation. They bring the real version of the problem into the room, and the practice is done on your people’s actual work, not on a case study.
Sessions are small enough that a facilitator can watch each person practice and coach the delivery. Between sessions, Coach Taylor keeps the thread going.

Talk to ARIA
Ask what you would ask us.
ARIA works the way a good first call works. She asks who is involved and what should change, recommends the closest starting point, quotes the real price, and hands you to a person when you want one.
