I ABOUT US I

 

We are a Virginia certified, Small, Woman- and/or Minority-owned ("SWaM") consulting firm specializing in speaking and training programs for colleges and universities, corporations, civic organizations and churches.

Our Mission

To help individuals and groups reclaim their passion by realizing and walking in their purpose. Using the concept of “Providing Nuggets that Prompt Independent Thought,” we offer a unique approach for every aspect of personal and professional development.

Our Philosophy

“Everyone with a Voice Has a Voice”

We adopt the mindset that all individuals are “Relevant”. As we engage participants during our seminars and speeches, we ask them to commit to self learning. We impress upon them that their thoughts, perspectives, and experiences matter; their presence is requested; and their open honesty is required.

Our Goal

To help participants recognize that they are a valuable asset, and have been birthed to make a difference. And because of that, what they bring to the world cannot be provided by anyone else. Therefore, they must walk in their purpose in order for their organization, group, or family to reach its maximum potential.

Our Target Audience

Elementary, secondary, college and university students; and professionals, corporations, and organizations seeking motivation and inspiration.

  • Coaching: We realize that having the right answers is not always enough. Therefore, we offer several coaching approaches to fit your personal, professional, individual, and corporate needs. Whether you need a one time tune-up to bring balance before a big meeting or event; someone to give you hard-nosed, logical, objective advice, or a series of meetings to develop a framework for completing difficult or undesirable tasks, The Talking Bout can help. We also specializes in Coaching for Kids, a unique program where we offer an initial assessment and a one-hour discovery session geared towards bringing balance to a child’s thought process. After an initial conversation with the caregiver, one of our energetic coaches will sit down either virtually or in-person with your youth and offer them the help they need. 
  • Consulting: The Talking Bout will utilize the experience of its consultants in non-profit and for profit management, Human Resources, and Education to develop a customized solution that will assist with meeting your corporate, group or institutional goals. Our consultation process requires forming a cooperative partnership with the client and key stakeholders. This relationship begins with a thorough assessment of needs and the creation of clear project objectives.  We then develops a detailed scope of work to be approved by the client. Post project, the consultant will sit down with the client and facilitate a concise close-out process where we will document lessons-learned and provide feedback to utilize in your companies future endeavors.
