Help businesses to navigate diffcult (sometimes awkward!) conversations across Gender, Sexuality, Neurodiversity, Disability & more…
Use powerful lived experiences through storytelling & customised strategies

The Values
Every business has its own secret sauce - something they swear by.
At Awkward Conversations, we have our secret PIN.
PROGRESSION
is what we seek, at any rate!
This is almost never-ending work.
We are also constantly evolving.
INTERSECTIONALITY
The human’s experience is complex.
We must recognise one person can
have multiple identities.
NON-BINARY
We live in binary world by design.
What is ‘true’ and what isn’t true must be ‘false’.
In reality most things have grey areas.
We must learn to adopt non-binary thinking.
