“Elisabeth is consistently one of our most highly sought after instructors.
Her engaging style and BRAVE Framework is just what leaders need to build cultures that win, no matter how fast paced or challenging the environment.”
Sharin MacPherson, Head of Experiences, Simon Sinek’s The Optimism Company
conversation is the smallest unit of leadership, teamwork, and culture
Google’s Project Aristotle found the strongest predictor of high performing teams isn’t talent, tenure or technology—it’s psychological safety. And safety is created—or destroyed—in conversation.
Conversations are the first principles unit of performance: small shifts in how we talk change habits, habits change behavior, and behavior changes results. That’s why conversation is not soft skill—it’s the real work.
The Unit - Conversations are the work.
The SWITCH - Safety creates speed.
The ADVANTAGE - conversations drive results.
the world is moving faster. OLD models of LEADERSHIP won’t keep up.
AI speed, distributed teams, and constant change are straining how people talk. Under pressure, listening drops, trust erodes, and decisions slow.
Keynotes, offsites and assessment-based workshops inspire for 48 hours but don’t install anything you can run tomorrow. Culture breaks at speed because conversations break first.
The solution isn’t more content. It’s a system: a shared language, repeatable protocols, and measurement built for your environment and growth. That’s why we built BRAVE®, to be the language of high performance leadership.
The pace of change - AI and hybrid work demands faster, safer conversations.
The failure of old systems - events fade, behaviors don’t stick.
The need for an os - A repeatable system that scales with your company.
BRAVE® is the Human Operating System that installs a common language across your organization. It’s science-backed, designed for your environment and proven to deliver next-meeting impact. We call it “the language of high performance leadership.” The four pillars of how we install the ConversationOS:
Shared language Learn the 5 Laws of Listening, protocols for feedback, conflict, alignment, decisions. Learn a structure for how to interact, no matter the situation.
Live Labs Practice under pressure on real work; immediate impact.
Rituals + Cadence Meeting hygiene, decision frames, AHA moments and emotional regulation tools.
Continuity Solutions for onboarding new team members and teams-in-flux.
OUTCOMES YOU CAN FEEL—AND MEASURE
Better conversations change everything. Leaders feel more confident. Teams align faster. Issues surface immediately. Companies scale without culture breaking at speed.

“Elisabeth has a way of simplifying information in a very relatable way…
I had high expectations, but ELISABETH and brave way over-exceeded those expectations…
A common denominator that I find with my EOS clients is they avoid tough & difficult conversations. When I first spoke with Elisabeth, I knew she had a unique ability to communicate well… In our session, not only did The BRAVE Framework® and delivery from Elisabeth resonate, but she was able to engage 120 people via Zoom to make for a truly impactful experience…”

Hi! I’m elisabeth…
This infinitely curious, coffee-loving, Brooklyn-native was running around around handing out business cards at the age of (thanks, Dad). Fast forward…
I created The BRAVE Framework® because I needed it. That’s a story for another day, but let’s just say, I needed a “how to guide” for some really high stakes conversations…
I tested concepts for a while, researching the ability of conversation to change our biological state and unlock human potential. Not long after BRAVE® was officially born, I joined forces with Simon Sinek and quickly became one of his top leadership instructors. The need to share this work with the world, to empower mission driven founders and leaders with the tools they need to build cultures that scale became a my mission.
I’ve spent over 14,000 hours teaching The BRAVE Framework® to leaders at over 500 companies across the globe and am a trusted Advisor to some of the nation’s fastest growing companies.
I’ve given 2 TEDx talks, spoken at the United Nations, in front of Congress and on stages from NYC to Johannesburg, South Africa to Omaha, Nebraska. And you might recognize my face from a Netflix documentary called “Coffee For All” that features and my first company, Caffè Unimatic…
Since I was a kid, I’ve been endlessly fascinated with the mindset, skills and neurobiology that set leaders apart. Dorky, right?
“BRAVE is unmatched…
Other programs always sound like a good idea, but they're too boring, long and contrived - and don’t move the needle. There was always a roadmap for our sessions, but nothing was off limits, so when people needed advice, Elisabeth was ready to listen and guide a discussion to help.
