"As the family goes, so goes the community, so goes the city, so goes the state, so goes our society."

This is a 4-6 hour workshop for married couples who want to take their marriage to the next level. In this workshop, we cover key principles of the book written by Dr. Preston Butler, “It’s OK to Have an Affair (with your spouse).” Couples will be encouraged to reflect on the early days of their relationships to put the spice and romance back into their marriage. This workshop reminds couples that a healthy relationship takes effort and planning - the same as anything in life that is worthwhile. Having an extra-marital affair is out of bounds and unethical. Having an affair with your spouse is a good thing.

This is a 5-7 hour workshop designed to help you identify and understand your primary love language, and the primary love language of your mate. Knowing each other’s primary love language helps to express heartfelt commitment and give your mate what he/she needs. According to Dr. Gary Chapman, the 5 love languages are: Touch, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, Quality Time, and Words of Affirmation. Knowledge is NOT POWER, but knowledge is POWERFUL and allows you to understand on a deeper level. As the saying goes, “once you know better, you can do better”. Our objective is to equip participants with the knowledge to positively change their marriage and life. 

This is a 4-hour workshop designed to help participants understand the value of apology and forgiveness. If someone wrongs you and says, “I’m sorry,” do you believe them? Or do you need them to say and do more to prove the sincerity of their apology? Similar to the research around the Five Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman, there are five distinct ways people apologize: Expressing Regret, Accepting Responsibility, Making Restitution, Genuinely Repenting, and Requesting Forgiveness. In this workshop, we help participants discover their apology languages. 

Words do matter. Relationship surveys indicate that most couples do not communicate well. Some of this is caused by false programming. Society would like us to believe that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. The truth is men and women are both from Earth. After over two decades of coaching and counseling couples, we are convinced that improving your communication skills will improve your relationship. A kind word turns away wrath and creates a healthy environment. Therefore, we have developed a unique 4-hour workshop called “Tool Belt Communications.” During this workshop, we focus on understanding different communication styles and why using appropriate words, tone, body language, etc, is essential. We give practical examples so participants know the “what” and the “how.” 

This 4-hour workshop is a direct reflection of its name, “a love that lasts.” It is one thing to discover love and another thing to hold on to it. Life can be stressful and full of events that test our character. There is a saying that what it takes to get her/him is what it will take to keep her/him. That is actually not true. As we age, we change in many ways. Two areas that continually evolve are our tastes and desires. It is important to be constantly aware of this fact. To maintain and grow our love, we must be intentional with our actions and make appropriate adjustments over time while maintaining the principles that enrich loving relationships. This workshop covers all these aspects. 

It has been said that people show you what they want you to see. So what we see may not be the truth. Unfortunately, this is so common in marriages that people can be married for years without knowing their real mate. This 4-hour workshop is specifically designed to encourage participants to remove their masks and own their truth. This workshop explores why we wear masks, how to remove masks, the keys to a successful marriage, and the habits of highly effective couples.

Understanding and controlling one's emotions is essential to establishing/maintaining healthy relationships. This 4-6 hour workshop provides an in-depth exploration of emotional intelligence (aka emotional quotient) theory and research, with a focus on its application. Emotional Intelligence (EI or EQ) is the capability of individuals to recognize their own emotions and those of others, discern between different feelings and label them appropriately, use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one's goal(s).

Participants will examine the role of emotional intelligence (EI) in self-leadership, decision-making, teamwork, and resilience. They will explore strategies for developing and applying emotional intelligence professionally and personally. The five components of EI are Self Awareness, Self-Regulation, Motivation, Empathy, and Social Skills.  

This workshop offers practical ways to strengthen empathy, trust, and collaboration that helps build healthy high-performing couples, teams, and comradery. This workshop is appropriate for those interested in knowing their EI level, understanding more about self-awareness, and how their interactions impact others. Participants will understand their EI level and evaluate ways to develop and enhance EI.
