You’re great at your job.

It’s the tough conversations that keep you up at night.

If you want to speak up with confidence instead of losing sleep over it…

You’re not afraid of responsibility.

You lead, manage, deliver and care deeply.


But you find it hard to speak up for yourself, and so you: 

  • Struggle with maintaining your boundaries

  • Feel awkward during encounters that require you to advocate for yourself

  • Avoid difficult conversations until they become bigger problems

  • Find yourself saying yes when you mean no

  • Maybe it's a colleague who consistently undermines you, a boss who doesn't respect boundaries, or team members who dismiss your ideas.


    These situations drain your energy and undermine your confidence, even though you excel in every other aspect of your role.

That’s exactly where

Tough Conversations Made Easy comes in.


A whole body approach that helps you speak up
with calm, clarity and compassion,
so you can lead and live in alignment
with who you truly are.

How I Help

Tough Conversations Made Easy is a body-first, values-based way of communicating that shows you how to align your head, heart, and gut so the right words come more easily.

After working with me, you will be able to:

  • Say what needs to be said, without spiralling or second-guessing

  • Set boundaries and give feedback clearly (without guilt or over-explaining)

  • Stay calm, steady, and connected even if you’re feeling nervous and shaky

Real confidence isn’t about what you say. It comes when your head, heart, and gut are in agreement.

Hi, I’m Julianne Harvey.

I created Tough Conversations Made Easy after years of avoiding, over-explaining, and walking away from conversations feeling shaky or resentful.

Eventually, I realised: it wasn’t about having the right words. It was about getting clear on what mattered and having tools to speak from that place.

Now I teach emotionally intelligent women how to speak from alignment instead of anxiety.


Introducing… The School of Conversation

This is for you if:

  • You find yourself people-pleasing and managing everyone else’s feelings (at the expense of your own)

  • You put off conversations because you don’t want to make the other person feel bad

  • You give too much, too often, and feel resentful later

  • You feel like you’re always carrying the emotional load - keeping the peace, smoothing things over, and managing your own reactions while tending to everyone else’s.

  • You’re tired of walking on eggshells, and are ready for a calm and clear way to speak up.

What Makes This Different

There are plenty of frameworks for handling conflict.
Most are head-based, performance focused,
and built for boardrooms.

The School Of Conversation is different.

We start with the body.

We bring in your values.

We help you say what matters in a way
that feels good for you, and without
feeling like you’re being confrontational.
