Lunch with Megan Bayliss

About our event
Talking with people can be tough: especially when the conversation gets tricky!
If you’ve ever walked away from a discussion wishing you’d said things differently, you’re not alone. The good news? Communication can be learned.
Megan will share her Four Perfect Formulas for Communication: simple, practical tools you can start using right away to feel more confident and compassionate in every conversation.

We’ll explore:
1. Clear Communication – say what you mean and feel without confusion
2. Accountable Communication – take ownership without blame
3. The FIR Model of Feedback – give feedback that builds, not breaks
4. The Debrief Model – process difficult moments (because bad things happen to good people)

These formulas won’t turn you into a counsellor, but they will help you become a more empathic, effective, and grounded leader.
Come along, learn, laugh, and leave with communication tools you’ll use for life.
