Kwaiserism: "Nothing meaningful can happen without effective communication."
Communication done improperly will be the key factor in destroying relationships and fostering misunderstandings. We have all said the wrong thing from time to time and paid some type of "price" for it. Speaking first and thinking later does not work as emotion rules the tongue especially in "tense" situations. Lack of clear communication can cause mistrust, wrong direction, hard feelings, loss of business, loss of friendships, a lot of stress, making you and others miserable!
Too many families in business as well as company executives spend very little time communicating with their people and too much time talking!
Effective communication can be learned with the realization that not everyone can be communicated with in the same way. Knowing how to communicate effectively with different types of people can change relationships, employees, families and businesses.
​
For over 40 years we have shared a proven method that has assisted families in business, as well as leaders/managers of companies in communicating more effectively. We can do it for you.

THERE IS NO CONFLICT IN OUR FAMILY - BECAUSE NO ONE TALKS TO ONE ANOTHER!!
NO CONFLICT?
Avoidance and silence are the two most common reasons that conflict grows and communication breaks down. Often many people believe that the best way to handle conflict is to avoid bringing up any issue that may create conflict. We call this avoidance the "unspeakables." Unspeakables are those issues that everyone knows about but do not talk about in the hope that the conflict will go away. That never happens!
We have assisted many people who were in conflict by helping them identify the real issues, and deal with them effectively. There are proven strategies in the "Workbook" to reduce and eliminate many conflicts.
​
We have been facilitating individuals in conflict for over 40 years and know the right strategies.
If we cannot help you - don't pay Us!!
