Meet Myra

 

My commitment is simple.


When a customer conversation happens—whether it’s handled by a person or powered by AI—it should leave the relationship stronger, not strained.

 

Because every conversation is a moment of truth.
And too many of those moments are being left to chance.

If you’re here, it’s likely because you care about how your team shows up in those moments.
How they respond under pressure.
How they communicate when emotions are high.
How they protect trust when it matters most.

I care about that too.

 

I’m Myra Golden.

For more than two decades, I’ve worked with organizations to design how their teams communicate when the stakes are high. Not just what to say—but how conversations actually function.

Because what I’ve seen, over and over again, is this:

When conversations escalate, it’s rarely about the customer.

It’s about the absence of structure.

 

My work sits at the intersection of psychology, communication, and the future of AI-driven service.

As companies adopt automation, voice AI, and digital workflows, something important is happening:

The easy conversations are being handled.

What’s left for people—and for AI systems to support—are the hardest ones.

The emotional ones.
The complex ones.
The ones where trust can either be strengthened… or lost.

And those conversations require more than good intentions.

They require design.

 

That’s where my work comes in.

I’m the creator of the 3R Conversation Design Operating System™—Regulate, Redirect, Resolve.

It’s a framework built to replace guesswork with structure, helping both people and AI navigate real conversations with clarity and control.

More than 2 million professionals have learned this approach across industries including healthcare, retail, financial services, government, and contact centers.

 

Organizations like McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Walmart, Amazon, Verizon, and teams across the NFL have trusted me to help their teams stay calm, clear, and confidently in control—especially when conversations get difficult.

Not because their people aren’t capable.

But because even the best people need a system when the pressure is high.

 

Before this work, I led customer communication efforts at Thrifty Car Rental, where I saw firsthand what happens when conversations break down—and what it takes to recover trust when they do.

That experience shaped everything I teach today.

 

I’ve had the opportunity to teach this work around the world, across industries, and at scale—through live training, keynote stages, LinkedIn Learning courses in 17+ languages, and a growing community of professionals who want to do this work better.

And still…

There is more work to do.

 

Because as technology continues to evolve, one thing hasn’t changed:

People still need to feel heard.
They still need clarity.
They still need to trust the interaction they’re having.

AI can deliver information.

But it still needs structure to handle people.

 

This is my work.
This is what I care about.
And this is the standard I help organizations build toward—one conversation at a time.

Customization & Engagement!

"I appreciated all the pre-work you did to learn about McDonald’s training and operational procedures. You did a great job of customizing your training to meet our specific needs. Also, it appeared as though the entire group was completely engaged and thoroughly enjoyed the training.”

Captivating & Transcending!

“Moment of Truth” for an insurance company. The customized tools and lessons presented by Myra Golden transcended the typical ‘training class’ and was truly a professional development event. Our associates were immediately empowered to create more memorable service experiences for our customers even before the applause faded. As stated by one associate, “Myra Golden captured our attention from the moment she started to speak, until the very end! I feel privileged to have been a part of the training!”

Fun Facts About Myra

  • Her first job was at Kmart, where she witnessed a customer blow-up—and realized the urgent need for de-escalation skills.

  • At 17, she walked up to the store manager at JC Penney to complain about poor service—and confidently offered suggestions for improvement. The manager was so impressed, he offered her a job on the spot. (Customer experience instincts? Lifelong.)

  • She once ran the Disney Princess Half-Marathon, sparkly tutu and all.

  • You’ll often find her riding 30 miles a week on her Peloton, chilling with jazz or lo-fi beats.

  • She calls Tulsa, Oklahoma home, where she lives a beautifully intentional life.

  • Despite being a celebrated keynote speaker, Myra is a proud introvert. She thrives on solitude, reflection, and rituals like earthing, hiking, and moon bathing. She’s more “self-help book and sage smudge” than “cocktail hour.”

  • And here’s one we can’t resist:
    In 2022, the Jacksonville Jaguars were at the bottom of the NFL. One month after Myra trained their Guest Experience Team, they made the playoffs and won their division.
    We’re not saying Myra turned the season around, but… you decide. 😉
