September: Couples + Communication
“Connecting is not magic. Like any other skill, it can be learned, practiced and mastered.”
- John M. Gottman
Do you have difficulty communicating and understanding each other? Are you stuck, arguing in circles about the same issues? Or are you in a good relationship and would like to make it even better?
Research shows that on average, couples wait 2.68 years* from the first sign of problems before they seek professional help. If this resonates with you, then this couples workshop is for you!
What is the Gottman 7 Principles Workshop about?
This upcoming workshop is great for couples at any stage in their relationship. It is based on decades of data and research regarding relationship satisfaction and follows the outline of the groundbreaking book 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman. As part of the workshop, you will receive two workbooks per couple, which will be used during our class.
This workshop is unique, as a good portion of the time is spent one-on-one with your partner doing simple exercises that bring your relationship to a new and closer level.
I will share the research and some powerful anecdotes, then set you up for success as you learn together. I’ll always be close to lend a hand if you have questions or need help.
Many people shy away from marriage workshops because they are worried about self-disclosure or embarrassment in a group. I can guarantee there will be none of that in the class. You will have time to enjoy each other while developing skills to strengthen friendship, increase intimacy, and prepare for a great future together.
Good relationships don't just build themselves without daily intentional effort, and problems don't just go away, without healthy conflict and communication skills. You can take action now and sign up for the next couples workshop that starts on Oct 5!
Register now to guarantee your spot, as space in each workshop is limited.

What people are saying:
"Lashaun's course about the "Seven Principles of Making Marriages Work" is a game changer. She discussed a variety of communication styles and had real-life, personal activities for each teaching. She discussed in depth about how communication patterns can impact your marriage, both positively & negatively, and gave clear examples of each. She created a safe and non-judgmental environment for couples to enrich their communication styles, thereby deepening their own special bonds. We found that Lashaun's work reaches beyond marriages and is good knowledge for many aspects of life, including parenting, friendships and career. If you have an open mind and heart, you won't regret taking her class." - Testimonial from Couple's Communication Series Spring 2022
