Don’t die on every hill.
Welcome to Please Elaborate
Please Elaborate (PE) provides conflict resolution and communication workshops to create stronger communicators and better leaders. We work with universities, workplaces, religious communities and groups seeking better dialogue and leadership skills.
Our workshops are people centered, meaning each workshop is interactive and designed to be enjoyed, not endured. No stuffy power points or awkward ice breakers. Each workshop provides ample opportunity to practice your skills in real time
We also integrate artwork and photography into all of our presentations and materials to encourage moments of reflection, creativity and accessibility to all learners. And because no one likes a dull slide deck.
Established in 2020, we’re dedicated to helping folks of all ages, politics, religions and backgrounds communicate better in a post pandemic world. Our workshops will get you offline and into productive conversations.

Our Workshops
The workshop that started it all! In our most popular workshop we teach participants how to communicate with confidence. Whether it’s a work presentation, religious ceremony, toast or leadership communication to team members, we got you covered. We look at public speaking pitfalls (pacing, rambling, what to do with your hands!) how to combat nerves, how to write an outline you’ll remember without constantly looking at your notes, how to retain attention from your audience and how to sound authoritative in your field.
Our workshops are roughly 2 hours long (in person or virtual) and include a presentation, exercise and Q&A.
Turn dialogue training into a group experience! Debate Team is a workshop in the form of play. In this workshop your group is divided into two “sides.” The two sides debate increasingly challenging topics. Debate Team is 5 rounds, beginning with low-stakes topics around entertainment and culture to more divisive topics around politics and social morale. Groups will be given 10 minutes to come up with points to defend their assigned stance for each round. This workshop allows participants to “try on” other perspectives and practice exploring worldviews that contradict their own, in a low-stakes low-pressure environment. Participants will learn to hold multiple perspectives, consider other experiences and understand where conflicting views stem from. In the end, participants should have increased skills in dialogue, dictation and navigating conflict. All while having a good laugh and a good time!

Conflict Resolution - How to have hard conversations when everything is hard to talk about. This workshop teaches your group how to navigate arguments, speak with clarity and kindness and how to hold multiple perspectives without compromising your beliefs. We also conduct exercises to help your group become comfortable changing their minds and admitting when they don’t know something or when they’re wrong.

In this workshop we examine the 2026 landscape for working women, looking at how politics and economics influence women’s ability to thrive in the workforce. We identify signs a workplace is not advocating for women, we list specific action items everyone can do to advocate for women and action items MEN can do to advocate for women (without women having to ask). We also look at the infrastructure needed on a statewide and federal level to create truly egalitarian landscapes in the workforce, and how we can make it happen!
