This is a taster workshop for our 6-week group programme “Say the Hard Thing” starting 12 Oct 2026. Find more information at www.transformconflictintoconnection.com.

NB: This will be recorded in case you can’t make it. It will be highly interactive, so it is advised to come live!

Most difficult conversations go sideways not because we ask for too much, but because we're arguing about the wrong thing. "Just do the dishes." "Text me more." These are strategies ... and underneath every strategy is a need: Trust. Consideration. Order. Closeness. To feel wanted.

And when we don't know what the need actually is, neither does the person on the other side.

This taster is about cutting through the noise to find what you truly want. So much conflict comes down to the same 3-5 things underneath everything ...  and when you can name THAT, you stop bickering about the small stuff and start speaking about what actually matters. 

But identifying what you need isn't the only challenge.... 

So many of us relate to our needs as an imposition - something that takes from the other person. In this workshop, we'll help you relate to your needs differently: with warmth, even joy. Your needs aren't a burden. They're a way of letting someone into your world, giving them the chance to add to your life and to be trusted with it.

You'll leave more connected to what you want, and more willing to say it with courage instead of apology.

This is a taste of Say the Hard Thing.

Georgie Nightingall is the founder of Trigger Conversations, a London-based organisation on a mission to make the world more human through the lost art of meaningful conversation. Bored and frustrated with the question ‘what do you do’, Georgie founded Trigger to find a formula for engineering more meaningful conversations in our everyday lives. Trigger’s event spaces and global transformational conversations training programmes are designed to invite participants to strip their work labels, go beyond small talk and be real - reclaiming conversation as an opportunity for adventure, play and discovery. She draws on over a decade of relational practice including circling, dance, embodied consciousness, improvisation theatre, IFS and coaching. Georgie’s ideas have featured in a TEDx talk, on Channel 4, and in outlets including The Times, The Telegraph, and Entrepreneur.com, and appear in Joe Keohane’s book The Power of Strangers.
