An interactive evening with executive coach and author, Michelle D. Gladieux
On Tuesday, June 23rd, the Roadhouse welcomes acclaimed executive coach and award-winning author Michelle D. Gladieux for an inspiring and practical conversation about her book Communicate with Courage: Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges.
At Zingerman’s, we’re passionate about what we call “Courageous Conversations”—the kind that strengthen relationships, build trust, and move things forward. But let’s be honest: those conversations can feel uncomfortable. Michelle’s work offers a clear, compassionate roadmap for navigating them with confidence.
Described as a “bravery manual,” Communicate with Courage is packed with actionable tools—what Michelle calls “Pro Moves”—to help you take smart risks, speak with intention, and connect more authentically. With real-world exercises and her own relatable stories in every chapter, Michelle’s book transforms communication from something we avoid into something we can master.
Michelle brings decades of experience as a teacher, communications specialist, and founder of Gladieux Consulting, where she helps individuals and organizations grow through better communication. Her warmth, honesty, and insight make her not just an expert—but a truly engaging guide.
Join us for an evening that will feel more like a meaningful conversation with a knowledgeable, empathic friend than a lecture. You’ll leave with fresh perspective, practical skills, and maybe even the courage to start that conversation you’ve been putting off.
Come curious. Leave confident. And enjoy some delicious Roadhouse snacks along the way.
