The Ken Blanchard Companies® Wins Silver Stevie® Award in 2022 International Business Awards®

SAN DIEGO, CA—August 15, 2022—The Ken Blanchard Companies®, a global leader in management training, consulting, and coaching, was named the winner of a Silver Stevie® Award for Best New Product of the Year in the 19th Annual International Business Awards® today.

The Conversational Capacity® course won Best New Product of the Year in the Business-to-Business category. The course teaches people how to engage in constructive, learning-focused dialogue when challenging topics or conflicts arise, so they can make informed decisions and find the best solutions, even under high pressure. That’s where difficult exchanges turn into learning opportunities and unfocused meetings become innovation incubators.

“We spent almost two years working with Craig Weber designing engaging learning experiences to bring his Conversational Capacity model to our clients,” said Jay Campbell, Chief Product Officer with The Ken Blanchard Companies. “While there are other conversation skills programs out there, nothing is as simple and powerful as Conversational Capacity. The twin forces of candor and curiosity are helping Blanchard clients across seniority levels and industries. We’re so proud to win this Silver Stevie® Award for Best New Product of the Year.”

Craig Weber, author of the book Conversational Capacity and course design team member, adds, “I am thrilled to see The Ken Blanchard Companies’ Conversational Capacity course win this award. The course is designed to help people perform more effectively under pressure and build healthier organizations, teams, and work relationships. It’s wonderful to see it recognized in this way.”

As one judge stated, the course “…addresses a #1 ongoing business challenge. The world needs more of what this offers.”
