Honesty that creates traction.
A philosophy and framework for the honesty that creates traction — at work, at home, in marriage, in family. With them, or without them.
What This is For
This is what Becoming Collective is for.
A philosophy and a methodology for the honesty that creates traction — with the people in your life, or without them when they refuse to come along.
It's not "speak your truth." It's not "set boundaries." It's the third thing — the work of being direct without being belligerent, honest without being cruel, willing to stay in the room and willing to walk forward when staying isn't possible.
Same Moves. Three spaces.
Where Are You Stuck Right Now?
AT WORK
Whether you're leading the team or stuck on one.
The 1:1 keeps getting cancelled — by you or to you. The team is drifting and you can feel it. The conversation you need to have has been sitting in your drafts for three weeks.
You're not bad at this. You're untaught.
LIVE!
In Your Own Life
Told you're "too much" or not enough."
Watching everyone not see what's obviously happening.
Started a sentence with "I shouldn't say this, but…" more times than you can count.
You're not the problem. The pretending is.

Planning a Wedding
400 Pinterest boards and no clarity?
Family behaving badly.
The day is coming.
The conversations aren't.
The wedding has a brand.
Your family has a pattern.
You need a methodology for both.

BECOMING \ STUDIO
Calling truth into light.
A gallery and library (we should get a coffee shop too!) for art that brings hidden things into view and books that say what hasn't been said.
The full catalogue of Greenlee Art Studios, by Kari Louvierre — and, soon, the work of emerging artists who earn the same walls.
The work doesn't decorate. It names the room you've been standing in your whole life.
I've watched the same patterns play out in room after room,
team after team, family after family.
The cancelled 1:1.
The seating chart that's actually a power play.
The version of yourself you've forgotten how to be.
The pretending isn't keeping anyone safe.
The silence isn't keeping anyone close.
And the honesty most people are afraid of is the only thing that ever actually moves the situation forward.
I'm Kari Louvierre.
Fifteen years in.
This is the work I do.
