I am a well-being practitioner and relationship educator, an Effectiveness Training instructor, qualified in Social Science and Management with over 30 years’ experience. I believe that heart and home is the base line from which we conduct our communication and other activities. When our key relationships are safe, caring and based on integrity and respect we have more capacity to give the best version of ourselves to our work and community life. Dr. Thomas Gordon's communication model offers skills and strategies to create a lifestyle of open communication, respect and emotional well-being with honesty. I would love to share with you some of the strategies and skills to create more peace in your life and relationships. Please contact me for further information, to attend a workshop, or to participate in my online discussion groups. Email: [email protected]
