Overview

Weekend workshop designed as a learning event for couples, where at least one partner is an executive responsible for the performance of, or leadership in, an organization. This learning experience will achieve the following:

  • Outline strategies for strengthening your teaming through the lifespan of family and work.
     
  • Maximize teaming in relation to the demands of the organization for which you work — at what stage is your company and how does that affect you?
     
  • Identify teaming strengths and potential blind spots that sap your resources for dealing with the demands of work and home.
     
  • Leverage your best strategies for managing the demands, stresses, and challenges of your leadership roles at work and home.

Program Goals

  • Provide a "safe space" for couples to explore their mutual resources for thriving in complex and stressful conditions.
     
  • Identify specific strategies for building resilience through greater self-awareness.
     
  • Engender couple team-work through communication enrichment.
