Breakout Session


Tough Talks

Disappointments are part of our life journey and our calling.
Speaking with event planners, learning to negotiate fees, meeting with an agent, discussing a book contract, disagreeing with a publisher or having a contract broken. How do you address the “no answer” or the “change your book idea”?

Scripture is clear, “We are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ” (Ephesians 4:14-15 NASB).

Join this breakout, take a quiz, and discover what holds you back and learn to F.A.C.E. your tough talks God’s Way!

15-Minute Appointments


Coach Darlene Larson – What do you need? 

Do you have a question about speaking, writing, life purpose, emotional pain, suffering, and how this all fits on your pathway to purpose? Are you reluctant to bring forth what you sense God is calling you toward?

I’d be honored to have you sit across from me for a 15 minute appointment, look me in the eye, share what is on your heart, and tell me what you want. You will be heard. Then I will ask you impactful questions that will guide you to clarity with your unique leverage.

“In just a few minutes, Darlene packed a punch in the way she coached me. She had a way with words that gave me a wakeup call. I felt like I had a teacher who knows what her student is capable of and knows how to give her that extra push to go more in the right direction.” J
