Communication Success
Have successful discussions and productive dialog. Change hostile exchanges into successful discussions and productive dialog. Learn the ins & outs of quality communication with family, coworkers and others.

Personal Boundaries
Do you have relationships at work or home which frustrate you? Do people try to control you? Or do people expect too much from you? Learn how to respond to difficult and controlling people in a way that is peaceful, healthy for you, and beneficial to the other person.

Sex & Sexuality
Have you ever wondered why people of the opposite sex behave the way they do? Learn how to overcome the male/female differences in your relationships. Find out how to appreciate the God-given diversity and convert the differences from conflict to cooperation.

Peaceful Parenting
Children are a blessing and a joy. They are also one of the greatest challenges in life. Reactive parenting leads to emotionally volatile relationships and teens who are unprepared for the adult world. Quality parenting does not come naturally; doubt, guilt and frustration do come naturally. Learn how to parent intentionally and overcome the negative feelings to produce healthy, happy, and prepared children.

In-laws and Out-laws
You’ve heard it said that we don’t just marry our spouse, we marry their family. Find out how to create a healthy relationship with your extended family while protecting your marriage from external control and intrusions.

Stepfamily Strategies
Stepfamilies are challenging, that’s the bottom line. When two people come together with previous relational histories, ghosts can interfere with the current relationship. Once the honeymoon period is over, children often create conflict. This workshop will introduce you to the challenging patterns that are common in step-families. You’ll learn methods to overcome those situations that most affect your home.
Please note: This is an informational workshop which is very beneficial, and a great first step toward stepfamily success. However, because of the emotional intensity of many stepfamily situations, we strongly recommend additional support. We also offer coaching for stepfamilies through our 98 Day Programs.

Kids and Money (ages 6-18)
Over the last 60 years we’ve been increasingly negligent in teaching children basic concepts about money. We now see adults who are financially desperate and dependent, as well as families torn apart because of a lack of understanding. Prepare your children for a successful future! This workshop teaches you how to teach your children about foundational financial concepts, including earning money, the value of money, savings, wise spending, planning, and giving.

Workshops are offered online, so you can take them anywhere! You choose between two formats:

Self-paced Workshops
You get all the resources and materials you need to learn the concepts fully. Because this option is geared toward independent learners with variable schedules, workshops are made available 24/7 for one month from the time access is given.

Facilitated Workshops
These workshops include everything offered in the self-paced workshops, but you also get facilitator interaction, feedback, and scheduled check-ups. These workshops are best for people who like feedback and want support throughout the class. Interaction is asynchronous through email, discussions, etc. Live (synchronous) communication is available by appointment. Workshops are available 24/7 and, because of the added support, are scheduled for two weeks.
