Meet Mia

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Mia Forbes Pirie

Most of us were never taught how to have difficult conversations and truly connect. Whether in our families, relationships, or businesses, we often struggle to be heard, navigate emotions, and build deeper understanding.

I know this firsthand. Growing up, I longed for more open, loving conversations—ones that brought people closer rather than driving them apart. That longing turned into a lifelong journey of understanding communication, resolving conflict, and bridging divides.

I’ve spent the past two decades helping people—from world leaders to couples, from family businesses to global organizations—transform the way they communicate. Through mediation, coaching, and facilitation, I’ve seen firsthand how the right conversation can heal wounds, rebuild trust, and create lasting change. Now, I’m here to help you do the same.

How I Got Here

Before I became The Conversations Coach, I was a City solicitor working on high-stakes corporate deals. The legal world taught me how to negotiate, but I was drawn to something deeper—how people relate, what drives conflict, and how we can truly hear and understand each other.

That curiosity led me to immerse myself in the fields of mediation, coaching, psychology, and mindfulness. I trained in everything from workplace mediation to Internal Family Systems therapy, from executive coaching to mindfulness practices.

I left law to follow my passion, becoming a mediator and facilitator working with governments, businesses, and individuals on some of the most challenging and sensitive disputes. I’ve worked with the G7, the Church of England, international NGOs, and corporate leadership teams. I’ve coached executives, family businesses, and individuals struggling with relationships. I’ve led international conversations on race, sustainability, sexuality, and inclusion.

But the heart of my work has never changed: helping people have the conversations that matter most.

What I Believe

🗣 Conversations are everything. They shape our relationships, our careers, our happiness. When we get them right, everything changes.

🧘‍♀️ How we connect starts within. Communication isn’t just about words; it’s about emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and managing our inner world.

❤️ Empathy is a superpower. Understanding others doesn’t mean agreeing with them—it means creating space for deeper connection.

⚡ Difficult conversations don’t have to be painful. When handled well, they can transform relationships, resolve conflicts, and even bring joy.
