Seminars/Coaching Offered:

Introductory Core Value Seminar

More important to success in work and relationships than intellectual intelligence, emotional intelligence is the ability to: understand one’s own emotions, regulate them for productive behavior, muster high levels of motivation, and understand the emotions of others. The regular practice of the skills learned in the Introductory Core Value Seminar automatically increases emotional intelligence. This course is an introduction to the teachings of core value and the power of compassion. It is a 4-hour seminar with group practice included. You'll leave this seminar equipped with the skills needed to reconnect with your core value and regulate your emotions. Empowered with these skills, you will have the ability to act in your own long term best interest, strengthening your sense of self and your relationships with others. While typically offered as a half-day seminar, this program can also be offered in full-day workshops providing more group interaction, based on the needs of participants.

Core Value Follow-up Teleclass

A 1-hour teleconference per week for 6 weeks following the Core Value Seminar. All participants of the Core Value Seminar are invited to attend. This conference is useful in providing participants an opportunity to ask questions about the material as they implement it in their everyday lives. The instructor will assist and monitor participants as they build these new emotional regulatory skills over the 6 week period and will elaborate on the material taught in the seminar as needed.

Personal Core Value Coaching

One-on-one coaching for individuals interested in learning the materials taught in the Core Value Seminars, but in a personal coaching experience. This coaching can be provided face-to-face or via teleconference as requested by the participant. Personal coaching can consist of only the introductory seminar or a package including the introductory material and a followup personal weekly teleconference (recommended).

The Empowered Workplace

Emotions can make or break a business. The hidden cause of most failure in the workplace is resentment. This course is comprised of skill building material to teach employees how to regulate resentment and managers how to mitigate employee resentment as well as regulate their own. Emotional Intelligence slides are presented along with Emotional Intelligence training materials. Courses are designed to foster teamwork and group interaction. Additional Emotional Intelligence Workshops can be provided if requested. The length of this course varies depending on the needs of the employer contracting the course.

Basic Skills for Keeping Jobs

Research on job training programs for the disadvantaged shows that they adequately learn the necessary skills to do most jobs. The problem occurs in keeping the jobs once they get them. Many who have worked hard to master training respond to accumulating stresses on the job with inappropriate or self-destructive behavior. Employers attribute this to deficits in “soft skills.” The federal government has identified “soft skills” necessary for success on the job as: responsibility, sociability, self-management, integrity/honesty, teamwork, leadership, negotiation, self-worth, serves clients and works with diversity. The dilemma for trainers and employers is that the “soft skills” are not directly teachable. They follow from emotional regulation skills (particularly of resentment, anger, and boredom), which allow workers to act in their long-term best interests. This course teaches employees these regulation skills. With emotional regulation mastered, the “soft skills” require little additional instruction.

Empowered Drivers

Angry drivers make themselves and everybody around them angry, resentful, impatient, and irritated. Without skill in emotional regulation, we are all at the mercy of anger-junkies, who use anger for energy and pain-relief. Empowered drivers regulate emotions to ensure behavior in their best interest. They control themselves, not the road. They increase self-respect through respect for everyone on the road. This course varies in length on the needs of the contracting employer and provides the skill building material needed to empower drivers to act in their own long term best interest.

Empowered Police

Police officers face unique challenges in the regulation of anger, resentment, and stress. These chronic emotional hazards tragically affect the high rates of suicide, divorce, domestic violence, and alcoholism among our most sacrificing of public servants. In addition to the obvious stresses and risks of police work, a less visible burden on officers comes from the tension between the opposite socialization of the paramilitary structure of the police versus the demands of ordinary citizens and of the officer’s own family. In dealing with citizens, the rules of rank are far less clear. The result is mounting resentment and anger, which can easily become "militarized" into dominant behavior against citizens and even loved ones. In Empowered Police training, officers learn to: understand and respectfully cope with the anger of non-offending citizens, recognize the earliest and most subtle signs of aggression in citizens, respond (not react) to the anger of suspects and uncooperative citizens, while regulating their own anger for maximum performance with minimum threat, keep anger, resentment, and anxiety from the job out of the home by distinguishing behaviors appropriate on duty from those appropriate at home, and how to shift gears from work persona to home life. This course is offered in 1/2 day and full day seminars based on the needs of the employer contracting the course.

Love Without Hurt

Failure of compassion in marriage feels like betrayal and abuse, often resulting in resentment. Because resentment of your partner violates your own deeper values, it must be regulated within you, not by your partner. This course is intended to teach couples the individual skills needed to ensure the ability to connect with core value and feel compassion for themselves and their partner. This course is 4 - 6 hours in length, depending on the number of participants. Individual couples coaching is also available upon request, either in person or via teleconference. A follow-up teleclass is offered for participants upon completion of this course.

Compassionate Parenting

Compassionate Parenting is an empirically validated, 10-week course. It includes education and behavioral practice of parenting principles and techniques, as well as an emotional regulation technique proven to reduce anger, resentment, and anxiety. The regular practice of Compassionate Parenting is guaranteed to increase cooperation, self-esteem, and self-discipline, while simultaneously reducing anger, resentment, and hostility in children and parents. Parents will have better relationships with their children and learn to enjoy them, guide them, and learn from them. Compassionate Parenting raises emotional intelligence through heavy emphasis on before-the-fact emotional motivation of behavior, rather than after-the-fact consequences. The result is much more effective discipline that does nothing to detract from the crucial relationship between parents and children. This course consists of 10, 2 hour sessions with homework assignments.

Compassionate Parenting in Divorce or Custody Disputes

Research shows that drawn out divorce and custody disputes are more psychologically damaging to children than death of a parent. Although shocking at first, this finding makes perfect sense with further thought. When a parent dies, the child can idealize him or her and feel secure that the parent is “watching over me from heaven.” But in a custody or protracted divorce dispute, the child sees both parents at their worst for a long time, feeling that, as one child put it, “It’s all because of me.” Symptoms of children in custody disputes or divorce may include one or more of the following: depression (looks like chronic boredom), anxiety, school problems, aggressiveness, hyperactivity, low self-esteem, exhibiting over-emotionality (anger, excitability, or frequent crying), or no emotions at all. Anything you do to harm, put down, or in any way denigrate your former partner, directly and profoundly harms your children! Regular practice of skills taught in this course are guaranteed to increase cooperation, self-esteem, and self-discipline, while simultaneously reducing anger, resentment, and hostility in children and parents. This course is a 10-week course consisting of 2 hour sessions per week and homework assignements.

Power Quest - Healing Angry Teens

This course uses two new tools to help teens develop internal regulatory skill: The Power Quest CD-ROM and the Basic Humanity Workbook (included in fee). Teens will learn how to counteract the chronic powerlessness they feel with pro-social empowerment. This course provides structured intervention (kids respond better with structure) and ways to get teens "unstuck". Kids will develop an emotional vocabulary and will learn that something within regulates their emotions and behavior, namely, their Core Value. They will be taught skills to condition Core Value to occur automatically, whenever there is anger and resentment. Healing Angry Teens is designed as a full-day seminar.

Power Love

Power Love is a male-friendly program for enriching marriage and eliminating resentment. Women maintain and nurture relationships, but men decide whether they improve or don’t improve. Most marriage enrichment programs are designed by women for women, leaving men the choice of “feeling like women” or becoming more emotionally isolated. In today’s high divorce environment, many men sadly fall in love with their wives as they walk out the door. Powerful marriage is not about gender or “feelings” or getting what you want or increasing communication skill... Powerful marriage is about staying in touch with your deepest Core Value. In this seminar, you'll learn how to strengthen your marriage in just 4 3/4 minutes per day, how to vitalize your intimate life and eliminate resentment, and how to balance the three levels of connection proven to be necessary for happy, productive living: Intimate, Communal, Spiritual. Full and half-day seminars are available for this course.
