I'm Ready to Break Bread!
Nancy has a fantastic ability to teach essential skills (not 'soft skills), sprinkled in with a very practical life skill of making bread! I'm excited to blow-away my friends with a tasty loaf of sourdough AND new ways of connecting.

Breaking Bread together bakes in better communication.
That's because when people feel grounded, they listen differently.
And everything changes from there.

Why sourdough?

Because it gives us instant common ground (everybody loves it!).

Every culture has it. Every generation relates to it. No one needs a title to participate.

Sourdough is honest - no shortcuts, no faking it - just like real connection.

Working with dough lowers stress, sharpens focus, and helps new skills actually stick.

It’s hands-on, memorable, and surprisingly powerful - whether you're strengthening a team or a relationship.

This is for you if:


Communication feels heavier lately - at work or at home

You’re tired of repeating yourself (or cleaning up misunderstandings)

Small frictions are adding up

You want clarity without conflict

And yes… you’re a bit of a foodie

Meet Nancy Hand

My communication expertise is based on over 35 years of real-world experience and formal training in contract law, mediation, dispute resolution, negotiation, and coaching as well as a passion for communication, learning, and behavior.

 

But it’s also rooted in my own culinary heritage as a south Louisiana daughter of a food scientist, a foodie (know thyself!), and sourdough baker.

 

Bread connects. Every culture in the world has a unique bread heritage they celebrate. Breaking Bread brings people together. 

 

No matter where you are in the world, sharing a meal is an act of community and peace. It's where people communicate, connect, relax, create, and celebrate.

 

That's what my Breaking Bread events are all about! All of that - and a drool worthy loaf?

That's a good day! 🥖

🙌 Yes! I'm ready to "bake in" a culture of connection!
