About Us

At Next Conversation Consulting, we believe every workplace has the potential to be extraordinary. As an award-winning, certified woman-owned management consulting and coaching organization, we're passionate about building cultures where employees don't just work—they thrive. Our story began when our founder, Kristy Busija, experienced the devastating impact of toxic workplace environments firsthand. Rather than accept the status quo, she made it her mission to transform organizations from the inside out. Today, we're proud to help leaders worldwide create the kind of workplaces people genuinely love to be part of.

What Makes Us Different

While many consulting firms deliver cookie-cutter solutions, we take a fundamentally different approach. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all strategies or complex roadmaps that gather dust. Instead, we partner with you to uncover and unleash the unique superpowers already within your people and culture. Our proprietary process helps us quickly understand your landscape and co-create realistic, actionable strategies that are simple, scalable, and sustainable. We only recommend what you're ready for—and what you actually need.
