Couples Learning To Handle Conflict
With Confidence!
|
Arguing -
Fighting Marriage & Relationships Change
w/ Anger Management One Day Class Helps Couples
Use Conflict Resolution Skills THAT WORK!
|
|
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 prevents you from saying those things that  you
have to apologize for. And, it will give each partner the power
to get the other to 'zip their lip' & listen or
stay away for up to an hour.
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. Video
simulations help couples learn quickly & safely in a classroom
like environment.
Men
like the 'rules & tools' based' approach --->
ENDING THE CONFLICT!
(i.e. -Get her to stop complaining.)
Women
LOVE THE RESULTS --->
BETTER COMMUNICATION!
(i.e.- Get him to listen & express
more.)
Marc was written about
in Time Magazine as a trained
PREP™ Program presenter.
Why do marriage
counseling when all you may need are some conflict resolution
and anger management guidelines learned in a one day workshop?
Would you
go to your medical doctor because you had a sniffle? No.
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 a fun one day
seminar? Or by following the 10 week Home Study Course
learning the simple skills that prevent verbal abuse and circular
escalating arguments that seem to never end. The seminar
or Home Study Course for Couples is like the over the counter
first level of finding relief. In fact, the course helps
you determine if you really need professional help!
| "I
never thought this seminar would be as fun as it turned out
to be. I'm so glad we don't have to live like that anymore.
I KNOW that our relationship is going to be so much better
after this workshop!" - Alfred & Michele (2003
seminar attendees) |

can say with confidence that my workshop
will help you make-up.....
or break up.
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.

Yes, there are other things
you might want to do on a Saturday, but
spending 7 hours learning better communication skills brings PEACE
OF MIND and:
- Men can feel appreciated,
instead of criticized by their wives. Learn the secret of how
to listen ONCE to her feelings about something.
Learn a way to stop those long relationship dialogues when you
want to.
- And women can finally
have a man listen all the way through an emotional dialogue,
without interrupting. And get
this.....WITHOUT HIS GETTING DEFENSIVE!
- Transform
anger or emotional distance to intimacy and desire. Enhance
your sense of partnership. Taught in a fun classroom setting.
- Learning
these skills will help make a frustrating relationship better
and a good one GREAT!
*The
workshop is a safe educational environment for practicing skills
using fabricated examples of typical couple's conflict. You will
not be talking or practicing on the 'hot button' issues of your
relationship, unless you choose to do so. In addition, one main
objective of the workshop is that each individual identify for
him, or herself, which areas of communication can be improved.
A guideline of this workshop is that at no time can one partner
tell the other what he or she needs to improve on. That is for
each person to determine for him themselves.
Our
attitude is:
If change is
to happen...let it begin with me.

Registration Using Credit Card
Two workbooks will be shipped
if your order comes in prior to one week before the event. Otherwise,
we will give you your manuals at the event and refund your $5. shipping
charge.
Remember, that
there is a money back guarantee so it's risk free! And,
you can't really put a price on the peace and harmony that can
result from these communication skills and agreements.
Compare that
though with what you spend and what you get with other methods,
like professional marriage therapy which can cost you $150. per
hour for 15 or 20 or more sessions. You might also ask yourself
if serenity, peace, respect and probably more lovemaking might
be worth the cost.
For less than
the cost of two sessions with a therapist, you and your partner
get 7 hours of skills focused training and education with me
that will change the way you handle conflict forever.
I
can say with confidence that my workshop
will help you make-up..... or break
up.
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.
I am still the
workshop leader for all Los Angeles seminars.
Two workbooks
and my personal attention and instruction is included. This is
a tremendous concentration of time and focus upon learning
exactly the skills that may transform your relationship.
If you don't believe that your relationship skills are significantly
improved I will write you a refund check for the
cost of the seminar.
