About the Course
Hard conversations are part of working in early childhood. They are uncomfortable. Emotional. Sometimes avoided. And yet — they are ESSENTIAL. Whether it’s speaking with families about challenging behaviours, giving honest feedback to a colleague, or navigating tension within a team, these moments can feel high-stakes and emotionally charged. In this session, we will explore how to approach difficult conversations with clarity, confidence, and compassion, while fostering trust and deeper connections. "Difficult conversations are not walls — they are doors to deeper connection.” Together, we support one another and build a village for our children.
Meet The Speaker
"May the beauty of what you love be what you do “ Rumi A mantra Kimberley uses to guide all her work . Kimberley has a Bachelors in Education ( ECE) and cofounder and creator of The Nest Private Kindergaten. It was the the ‘ birth ‘ of this model that fast became the ‘ teaching ground ‘for not only her but hundreds of other professionals that would visit and see feel and hear a different’ way of being ‘ . Kimberley’s creativity didn’t stop at The Nest she always wanted to establish a model outside the system with NO strings so ‘The Haven’ was birthed into being and this is a Home Schooling hub where children between 5-13 years of age cross pollinate OUTSIDE. This IS by far the most SIMPLE…. It is outside the system : OUTSIDE. Minimal resources all fit in one trolley and apart from each other and NATURE that is it! Kimberley has been to The Pikler Institute in Hungary multiple times to study and visited The Forest Kindergarten in Germany. Kimberley is the first to admit that where she gains her deepest insights are always when she is with the children. She dovetails working with the children at The Haven and delivering innovative Professional/ Personal Development around NZ .
