About Ingrid Gudenas

Welcome to the world of Causative Communication®.

This is a world I discovered when I was in my 20’s, a world that enabled me to live my dream and, more importantly, help others like you live your dreams.

It’s a world many people don’t know exists, a world that can forever change your life.

I and my team are privileged to show you how to open the door to this world where magic happens routinely. Where you gain so many new abilities, no unsurmountable obstacle stands between you and what you truly want to achieve. Every door that’s been closed to you, opens.

What’s the secret that allows all this “magic” to happen?

The secret is a new philosophy and approach to communicating. I call it Causative Communication because it places you in a position where you can cause the future you want to happen.

The reason I focus on communication is because it’s THE most frequent, THE most important and THE most powerful, activity that you and I engage in.

It’s the ONLY tool we have for reaching others with our ideas and shaping the outcome.

Communication is how we make anything and everything good happen when it involves other people. Communication is how we build every happy relationship in our lives.

Communication skill determines how well, how BIG, and how fast, we create the ideal relationships and new reality we want live with.

Most people have absolutely no idea how good they can get at communicating their ideas, building relationships, and skillfully shaping outcomes, so they settle for a “normal” level, which gives them lives, at work and at home, that are often ordinary and sometimes frustrating.

They’re blown away when they learn what’s possible. They go on and do incredible things in their own lives and in the lives of others.

I’ve taught and coached thousands of individuals from all organizational levels, industries and professions for over 30 years.  I coach young and older, from individual contributers to CEO’s, from early in career to leaving a legacy. Every situation you can imagine. I’ve seen it work thousands of times, even in seemingly impossible situations (those become fun when you’re on top of them).

I love nothing more than helping someone like you gain this ability and then be able to causatively determine every aspect of your life, so you fully have and enjoy the life you want.

Perhaps you’re like many of our clients who are working to make the world a better place. If not the whole world, then at least the world around you. Helping you make this positive impact, seeing you win the hearts and minds, and impact the lives of others, fills me with tremendous satisfaction.

I see over and over that, with outstanding communication ability, you can have a life of exhilaration, success and great happiness.  You can influence a wider and wider sphere. You can have a profound impact on a daily basis. You can achieve your goals much faster.

Most people would not call their day-to-day life thrilling.  But yours can be.  If you have the right communication skills.

This is my path. It’s one dedicated to empowering people like you. To help you have the relationships and the life you dream of.

From Ingrid's Clients

Over my 40 plus years in the high tech industry there have been a number of people who have changed my approach or the way I thought about things. I was lucky enough to have mentors in the industry as my career progressed. I have also interfaced with a number of consultants. Only two had a significant impact on how I thought about things. One was Ingrid. After working with Ingrid I have experienced how her approach can change your concepts so you are more effective. Powerful.
I have been a trainer for 23 out of the 26 years I have been in this industry and have had seminars and classes on training. This hands down was the best training , and the most valuable time spent, that I have seen in all my years as a training professional. Highly recommended for anyone in training, or just wanting to learn something new.
I wanted to thank you again for your recent presentation to our group. We had one of the highest attendances of the year and everyone I saw was thoroughly enthusiastic and excited after the session. This is the second year you have presented for us and we want you back for a third year.
After this training, it’s really different. It doesn’t matter if it’s an audience of 5 or 2,000, I command the room. Our CEO told me after my presentation, ‘The atmosphere in the room completely changed after you talked.’ I cannot believe the transformation from your training. I feel like I am at the beginning of something incredible.
The coaching you receive here gives you a very powerful leadership tool. You can lead from the back, the middle or the front. It doesn’t matter where you are in the organization. An effective communicator is a powerful instrument for any team. This is the best training I have ever taken professionally and I’m 49 years old. I wish I had taken it 25 years ago.
I believe this training can have a disproportionately positive impact on people, and particularly senior women, that are struggling with their effectiveness and presence. It is about our belief in ourselves and our willingness to express our power and respectfully make people listen to us… all in our own style. At one point I witnessed a classmate realize her power. Then I realized I saw it happen for all of us. It’s as if you pulled the curtain back and we found something that was there all along, but we had no clue or couldn’t deal with it for some reason.
I am very lucky to have had the opportunity to be coached by you – the teaching was simple, practical and very doable and has helped me immensely in terms of my interaction with peers, superiors and subordinates. Of all the courses I would say this one was the best because it is directly applicable to my work.
Many thanks most of all for the workshop I had the privilege to attend. Thanks to you I learned a lot. You are an excellent teacher. You are really making big difference in people’s behavior. Your job is logistically difficult but it must be quite satisfying when you observe how people change for better, right in front of your eyes.
Fantastic investment in time and resources. I learned many valuable skills that will help me.
This was a transformational workshop! I plan to use the knowledge and skills learned and develop them for the rest of my career. It had a great blend of lecture, video examples, and practice and demo. Thank you very much for the class, very valuable.
Your training helps us unleash and re-focus our own senses and capabilities by opening our minds to the potential within us.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to receive one-on-one coaching on my communication skills. Not only were the sessions hosted in an excellent environment, but skills acquired were both life-long and life-altering. The most profound aspect of this coaching is that the skills learned can be used in any and all venues; with all age groups, with people from all walks of life. Not only is the expertise learned applicable in the business world where tough topics and even tougher conversations often prevail, but in one’s personal life as well. The ability to communicate at such a high level and do so effectively is crucial to one’s ability to succeed in all aspects of one’s life. I will take these skills with me and utilize them for the rest of my life. I would therefore be pleased to recommend this class to anyone who is interested in finding a better way, a more profound path in life. Wherever one goes, whatever one chooses to do, this communication coaching is an invaluable tool in helping people achieve their goals. This training is nothing short of life-altering, as I have said, and therefore gives a brand new focus. It is no exaggeration when I say that this training can change the world.
