Finding Your Voice – Boundaries & Difficult Conversations

One 90-Minute Workshop — Combining Preparing to Engage & Entering the Conversation Designed and facilitated by Melody Montgomery, CCIM
The DEI Committee is excited to present a Belonging Session in the South Sound.
Finding Your Voice – Boundaries & Difficult Conversations is an interactive 90-minute workshop designed to help participants navigate challenging conversations with greater confidence and clarity. Facilitated by Melody Montgomery, CCIM, the session combines practical preparation strategies with tools for entering and navigating difficult conversations in real time.
Session Overview
The content isn’t real estate-specific, but it speaks directly to a pattern CREW members know well: women are socialized to manage everyone else’s comfort, and a woman who sets a clear boundary is too often labeled “bossy” rather than simply a leader. The session names that dynamic directly and frames the tools through the lens of allyship, tying into CREW South Sound’s DEI committee focus for 2026: being a good ally.
