Katy ByrneKaty 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.
