The Covid-19 pandemic, racial tensions, and a universal call for unity have created more opportunities for Dr. Confer to facilitate meaningful conversations. She has presented live and in virtual spaces throughout the United States and around the world, including Africa, England, Ireland, and Southeast Asia. The key to her success is reaching people in real time— using the same model as ride-shares, apps, and other services of the instant economy. Waiting on annual conferences or deploying on-line modules while relationships suffer and employees leave has become consequential. Harmony cannot wait.

Through music, cross-cultural role playing, bonding exercises, and “truth” talks, she guides participants along a journey of self-discovery. If you’re looking to increase the levels of awareness, sensitivity, and synergy in your business or group, this seminar is for you.

Families are not exempt from the dynamics of communicating or working through conflict. There is nothing like story-telling and humor to heal a little family madness, or to celebrate just how “perfect” your relatives really are. However you define, “family”, Pam will consult with you to create a funny talk, with a built-in message. So, don’t talk about ’em... Allow her! Whether it's a virtual platform or in person, the ones you love will be laughing, living, and leaving legacies... for years to come!
