Katy Byrne
promotes dialogue as a way of changing our lives. Katy has
focused her life work on conversation as the necessary but
often missing ingredient in personal and social happiness. Her
passion is facilitating human connection, through mutual
trust, self-disclosure and support. Katy believes that
assisting each other in discovering and sharing our strengths,
more than our weaknesses, helps us move toward greater
individual and collective joy.
Katy has been
in the forefront of the movement to foster community through
increased communication, and has become known as a popular
public speaker, workshop leader, and host of public forums and
events. Her involvement in animal rights is always included in
her dialogues.
Overcoming an
eating addiction, a divorce, and the death of both her
parents, Katy learned detaching from life is not the answer.
She experienced the lesson that our lives can end in isolation
if we fail to say what we need to those we love.
It is my
contention that conversation can change the world.
