Certified life coach,

Denise TrimbleSmith
I started Courageous Conversations because since childhood I have always been able to recognize when others were in distress.
I had a strong drive to not just help but to be an encourager. That is why I have lived a lifestyle of servant leadership with the goal of helping others find the power from within to resolve life’s challenges, conflicts, and disappointments.
Along the way, I began to earn a reputation as a trusted creative and motivating problem solver.
Courageous Conversations presents an opportunity for you, your family, teams, couples, large and small groups to navigate your way through sensitive and/or difficult topics with a goal of concurring conflict through Courage. We may not be able to control life’s situations; however, we do have choices.
Let’s Choose to Be Courageous.
