Belonging Starts Here

Leading the Nervous System Era of Work

Workshops | Training | Keynotes | Online Courses

We’re pioneering a new approach for workplace learning—rooted in how our shared human wiring responds to stress, safety, and connection. This is where true belonging begins: when we feel grounded, we connect authentically and build deeper trust.

Only from here can every other skill—from communication to leadership—stick and transform how teams thrive.

Who We Are

The Expert Talk helps organizations and teams create cultures of belonging through workshops, training, keynotes, and self-directed online courses. Our goal is not to be a “flash in the pan”, or training that’s brought in to check a box, but to develop an ongoing relationship with clients where support and continued learning & growth is at the core. 

We work with government, non-profit, and corporate clients in areas that include trauma-informed leadership, boundary-setting, neurodiversity at work, collaborative communication, conflict navigation, and more.  The Expert Talk sets itself apart with its collaborative approach to team building, program development, and values-based approach, especially with regard to ensuring all content and strategies offered are research- and evidence-informed and delivered through a trauma-informed lens.

No matter the audience, we pride ourselves on creative and engaging trainings and workshops, and ongoing support options & programs that offer participants opportunities to continue developing and practicing their skills. The Expert Talk boasts an expanding community of experts, with a diverse set of expertise and life experience.

We felt safe in their hands at every interaction

Advisor, Organizational Development and Learning

We had the pleasure of working with The Expert Talk for several leadership workshops and follow up booster sessions on the topic of Trauma-Informed Leadership. Feedback was positive about the content, information, and real-life experience of the facilitators and coaches. In addition to being supportive, easy to talk to, and always open to feedback and suggestions, we felt safe in their hands at every interaction. If an opportunity arose, we wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again in the future.

How We Do It

What Does It Mean To Be Trauma-Informed?

  • We understand the impact of past experiences on current behaviour and responses
  • We practice curiousity rather than rely on assumption and judgment
  • We prioritize safety and trust in our workplace and relationships
  • We empower choice for ourselves and others whenever possible
  • We practice cultural humility and actively work on unlearning bias
  • We develop self-awareness because the greatest strategy we have for connecting with others is ourselves
The Benefits To Your Team

Organizations who embrace our Nervous System Awareness approach will:
  • Build workplaces where people feel safe and empowered to bring their best ideas forward
  • Reduce conflict and escalation by responding with intention instead of reactivity
  • Improve retention and engagement by honouring boundaries and lived experience
  • Create teams that recover faster from stress and adapt more effectively to challenges
  • Strengthen trust and belonging across teams and the organization
  • Equip leaders to navigate feedback, conflict, and change with confidence
  • Take inclusion beyond surface level—meeting people where they truly are
