What are people talking about at water coolers? Relationships. What are moms complaining about at play dates and nights out? Relationships. What's great marketing really all about? Relationships. And great leaders are just really great at? You guessed it...​Relationships.

It is estimated that workers spend 2.5 hours per workday wrangling with relational drama. About 50% of marriages in our country end in divorce, and above and beyond that 25% report low relationship satisfaction. The numbers are dismal.

I see miscommunications, outbursts, shut-downs, growing resentment, resistance, declining intimacy (both physical and emotional) as unnecessary and avoidable toxic energy drains that get in the way of everything from emotional wellbeing to productivity and financial success. 

While there is no lack of content and trainings available on communication, these strategies don't work and lead to frustration because they fail to recognize the underlying cause of relationship drama and demise. 

I work to break down really big ideas into actionable, practical, relatable, and unforgettable strategies so that the members of your group, team, or corporation can start reclaiming their energy to create relationships and lives they love.

What makes us happy?

An unprecedented 75-year longitudinal study out of Harvard uncovered what creates a happy and purposeful life. What were the most important variables? Money? NOPE. Success? NOPE. What kind of car you drove? Nuh-uh. How much power you had? How much you had achieved? What kind of jeans you wore? What wrinkle cream you used? How much you weighed? No. No. No. No.

The study found STRONG RELATIONSHIPS to be far and away the strongest predictor of life satisfaction. There is a growing body of research that links social ties to longevity, lower stress levels, overall well-being, productivity, and success (check out the leading researcher on the link between success & happiness, Shawn Achor, on the TED stage).

Popular Topics + Workshops

Communication and Conflict Map Training - "We suck at conflict," is something I often hear new clients say. How do you know if you suck at conflict? Arguments escalate. Maybe you blow or maybe you sweep your wants and needs under the rug. Either way, both people don't leave the argument feeling better. When conflict is done REALLY well it should lead to MORE emotional intimacy and better, more satisfactory relationships. However, neurologically...our brains make getting through conflict really hard - especially with the people we love the most. I've created a map and in-depth training to help you stay on track towards resolution.
