Relationship Communication-Skills Workshop for Teens
The Promise of the Workshop:
I promise that if you complete
the workshop (stay through to completion) you will find yourself
feeling excited about the possibilities—without having to change
yourself or remember anything. —Kerry (workshop facilitator)
It's virtually impossible for
the workshop to not affect us positively. Why? Because
communication (which is different than talking) always works.*
Together we will intend the experience to be transformative.
The workshop works simply
by being in the room listening; you don't even have to stand and
share verbally; you can disagree with everything and the
workshop will still work.
Typical outcomes:
-
Parents will tell you that
they notice a positive difference in you.
-
You will find yourself
having new conversations with everyone, especially your parents.
-
Certain things that used to
bother you will no longer affect you.
-
You'll learn and practice a
communication game that will create new and
exciting relationships, especially on dates (every single time).
-
Others will say they notice
that you're being
more responsible and considerate with everyone.
-
Without having to change
anything you'll find yourself automatically honoring more
agreements, homework, showing up on time, etc.
-
You will discover why there
is no such thing as an "accidental" pregnancy.
-
Things that you didn't
understand will have become clear and no longer bother you.
-
You will become clear about
certain intentions.

The workshop draws attention to the differences in results between
talking and communicating. High school teachers and college professors introduce students to
the principles and fundamentals of communication; they do this using
their highly developed talking skills. When a
teacher "assigns" homework he/she unconsciously,
non-verbally, communicates to some students that they don't have to do it,
ergo, several don't. 25% of today's college freshman, require
remedial reading and writing because communication didn't take place
between them and their teachers. When an educator "communicates" homework it is done, no excuses,
no reasons; it has to do with intention. Not learning is
never the student's fault.
