I’m here to ensure that your work conversations propel your team towards unique impact

Who I’ve worked with

Conversations at work = meetings

Meetings are the container that hold our work discussions. The ability to host great conversations is a “sleeping giant” of organizational effectiveness:

50% of professionals find meetings to be unproductive

60% say that meetings do not help them accomplish their work

64% say they are more excited about meetings when they are planned

62% of executives believe meetings miss opportunities to bring the team closer

Many leaders miss the opportunity to inspire and ignite their teams through intentional gatherings

WHY KASHAY?

I deeply believe in the transformative power of great conversations.​

My mission is to create healthier teams, organizations, and communities—one positive conversation at a time.

I’ve been facilitating since I was a college student, leading groups in planning events meant to foster understanding across differences. Since then, I’ve gotten to refine and deploy this skill set across myriad environments--from a girls empowerment social enterprise in India to a fortune 100 company.

After 14 years, I have a grounded point of view about what makes conversations great vs. counterproductive, and I’m ready to transform workplaces by sharing this insight.
