The Kane Intentional Communication™ Institute, LLC provides a holistic approach to effective communication.
Since 2015 the institute has trained individuals and teams to communicate with clarity and composure under pressure using mindfulness-based practices and applied communication frameworks.
Cynthia Kane is the CEO and Founder of the Kane Intentional Communication™ Institute, LLC. She uses her proprietary process called the Kane Intentional Communication™ Practice to help organizations, employees, and individuals improve clarity, emotional regulation, and communicate under pressure.
What sets Cynthia apart is that she doesn’t separate communication from internal state. Most issues in communication aren’t about knowledge-they’re about emotional regulation in the moment. So the work is focused on what’s happening internally when communication breaks down, and how to shift that in real time so people can respond more clearly and effectively.
She is the author of The Pause Principle: How to Keep Your Cool in Tough Situations, How to Communicate like a Buddhist, Talk to Yourself like a Buddhist, and How to Meditate like a Buddhist, and was named by Yahoo as the #2 Communication Coach to watch.
She and her work have been featured in national and international publications including Business Insider, The Globe and Mail, Thrive Global, Authority Magazine, The Washington Post, Woman’s Day, The Chicago Tribune, and more. She has been a featured mindfulness and meditation expert on Great Day Washington, Good Morning Arizona, and Good Morning Connecticut. Podcasts she’s been featured on: The Anxious Achiever, The Daily Helping, TheFutur, Office Hours with David Meltzer, and more.
