Trigger Conversations

What would the world look like if we dared to dive into difficult conversations with a curious mind? 
Yes it’s a big and idealistic question. But what else would you expect from a Trigger Conversations event? 
 
As a team of conversation coaches we’ve noticed more and more a lack of curiosity when “certain topics” are brought up. Instead of trying to understand why one holds a political belief we sharply inhale, block our ears and in most cases swiftly change the subject. And that’s natural. We feel passionately about different issues and are frustrated when we don’t see eye to eye. Which is why it’s sometimes easier to not touch “it”. 
But the truth is, in order to grow as individuals and a society we need to have challenging conversations about a spectrum of issues: from politics to the environment.
 
The question is how? 
That’s where we come in. 
 
To celebrate our 3rd Birthday, we’re inviting you to an evening of open-minded conversations that deepen understanding and even spark connection across the divide. Set in the beautiful Kindred in Hammersmith, the evening will be facilitated by Georgie Nightingall, our founder and conversation coach. Georgie will guide you through the carefully crafted Conversation Menu and teach you conversation tools that can help you have positive discussions about difficult topics. 
 
The question is... are you ready to test your biases and widen your understanding of others? 
If you are then come and join us for an undoubtedly curious evening!

- 'I loved the idea of Trigger from the get-go! For every human interested in other humans, which should be all of us, Trigger really prompts a timely reminder for all of us to scratch below the surface and use our conversations as a tool for real human connection, curiosity, and adventurousness (i.e. it's real and it's awesome)! A fun, curious, playful, at times even salacious, and ultimately utterly hilarious night in the company of great people, this is what collective humanity should be about!' -
