Lecture Description: How can we help our clients "get out of their own way" in meeting and staying with their life partner? Do you want to learn: How understanding the interplay of masculine and feminine energies within us and within the relationship helps to decrease conflict and stress? Why, at all moments, one person must be the masculine energy and the other person must be the feminine energy in your communication? (and, of course, it doesn't have to be gender-based) What you want in your relationship...and how will that help you help your clients? If so, then come and learn more... In our jobs, we are there to help clients overcome the obstacles in the way of them reaching their full potential. What if those obstacles are their own blind spots about how they are being disrespectful or not cherishing their partner? After this seminar, you will be able to hear and see when this is happening, in your clients' life and maybe in your own.
