The Better Conversations Lab

Transform Every Work Conversation Into Fuel For Your Team's Success, Even The Hard Ones

GET STARTED

Here's The Deal...

I want to give you a real, honest picture of what you’ll experience inside the Better Conversations Lab.

If I were in your shoes, I’d be wondering: What will this actually feel like? What will I walk away with? Will this really help me?

That’s exactly what I want to answer for you below—so you can see what’s possible for you and your team when every work conversation becomes fuel for success.

WHAT IF...

You walked into every work conversation knowing your words would spark change, inspire growth, and make a real impact on your team? 

The Better Conversations Lab gives you practical tools, frameworks, and confidence to turn even the toughest conversations into opportunities for connection, clarity, and results.

Hi, FRIEND!

I'm Kara List

I’ll be your coach in the Better Conversations Lab. I’m a working mom, so I get it — conversation fatigue is real, and our bandwidth is limited. There were times I almost quit because I saw all the conversations I needed to have, didn’t know what to say to get results, and worried every word would stir up drama. I was already losing sleep as a mom — I didn’t need to lose it over work too, and I certainly didn’t need to feel like I wasn’t a good leader when I knew I was.

Over the last 15 years, I’ve been building a model that turns even the hardest conversations into clarity, connection, and results. In the Lab, I’ll teach the model and we’ll practice it with your real, live conversations so you can show up with confidence (and the words) instead of exhaustion.

Sooooo.....
