See & hear email and video testimonials HERE.
Marc was written about in Time Magazine as a trained PREP Program presenter. I call my One Day Seminar for couples 'Handling Conflict With Confidence.'
My fun, easy and educational one day couples communication skills course prevents destructive conflict. The one day seminar is a slimmed down conflict resolution class for both partners. It helps prevent you from saying those things that you have to apologize for. And, it will give each of you the power to get the other to 'zip their lip' & listen or stay away for up to an hour. The workshop usually helps men understand how it PAYS TO LISTEN & RESPOND to their partner more fully. But, once a man feels threatened he is singly focused on defending himself. While defending himself with explanations or reasons or excuses, he becomes self centered and cannot attend to the thoughts and feelings of his partner.
About Men- What they
don't seem to understand.
Why does a man think a woman has never forgotten a single misdeed he has committed over the course of their relationship? One reason is that he hasn't really admitted the misdeed, hasn't shown her he understands how it affected her and more importantly he hasn't yet changed, or EVEN said he wants to change.
Much of the workshop is based on the PREP methods of skill training for couples used in many military bases, churches and other organizations. I also use principles of Dr. Gottman & Harville Hendrix. It is research based and simple to learn. Hard to do for some people, but simple in that what is expected is very clear and well defined. Video simulations help couples learn quickly & safely in a classroom like environment.
Men like the rules style
He now has tools to get her to stop criticizing him! 
Most men like the idea of having clearly defined guidelines, methods and techniques that are easy to understand and execute. My Five Agreements and Two Skills is just the right style of educational seminar for men to quickly aquire some basic relationship knowledge that most women learn early in life.
What Is It That Women Have Trouble Understanding About Men?
When a man does not show his woman that he cares about what she is going through, the woman then feels that he is consciously NOT providing that caring. She believes that he could give her a sense of protection or caring, and is CHOOSING not to do so. Well, when a person consciously chooses to not give comfort to someone who is so obviously in need of care, then that person is seen as a pretty bad person.
Men Are Not Our Hairy Girlfriends!
This is a quote from Alison Armstrong who does empowering workshops for men and women that looks at the difference between men and women. Her point is that women make a mistake when they think that a man should think and feel as a woman does. So, when a man may not show that he is concerned much with how his woman is feeling, that woman is mistaken to think that this uncaring display would mean the same thing as it would mean if she had said or done the same uncaring things.
I spend little time on WHY there's fighting...
I teach couples
How to express difficult feelings, how to respond to your partner's feelings & HOW to stop arguing before it's too late.
Most couples with high conflict do not have sadistic, evil partners plotting, each morning, how to harm their lover. Despite how it feels sometimes. People say and do harsh or disrespective things to each other often because they just do not know what else to say or do.
Make 5 Agreements
& Learn 2 Skills
My RealHope One Day Workshop, which I also still do personally, is a live seminar in Los Angeles. Couples learn exactly what they can say or do in those frustrating moments. You'll learn what to do and say when you return from a Time Out. And, I'll give your the backup plan for what to do if that does not work.
The One Day Seminar is the fasted and most efficient way to learn the two skills and five agreements of the my program. By the end of the day you will have made all five agreements out loud to each other, so your word is now on the line. You will also practice the two skills of learning to express yourself respectfully and constructively and how to respond to someone who is upset with you. There is about 90 minutes of video presentation and practice that burns the information into your consciousness.
If you do not believe that you've learned to significantly improve your relationship communication skills I will refund your seminar fee.
Is it 'toxic hope or real hope?
The skills and agreements are simple. If a partner cannot follow these basic guidelines... and, won't seek further help... then, you have your answer to the question, "Is this toxic hope or real hope for me to think that the future can be different.

You'd probably get some over the counter medicine to see if that was enough to find relief. When couples argue and fight, why go to a psychiatrist, psychologist or marriage counselor, when you might be able to find relief by attending my fun one day seminar?
