1. The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work

This interactive workshop, based on Dr. John Gottman’s research, teaches couples the seven key principles that lead to long-lasting, fulfilling relationships. These principles include techniques for improving communication, managing conflict, fostering intimacy, and creating shared meaning. The workshop provides couples with practical tools to strengthen their bond and enhance their connection in a fun, engaging, and supportive environment.

2. Gottman Lessons in Love Workshop for Singles

Designed for individuals who are seeking love or want to improve their future relationships, this workshop focuses on the key ingredients for healthy, lasting romantic partnerships. Drawing from the same evidence-based Gottman principles, it offers insights into building strong foundations for relationships before they even begin. Topics include effective communication, emotional intelligence, understanding needs, and how to spot potential red flags early on. The workshop equips singles with the tools and knowledge to approach relationships with confidence, self-awareness, and emotional readiness.

Whether you're navigating a difficult relationship, seeking personal growth, or preparing for a future relationship, you can trust George’s expertise and empathetic approach to guide you towards meaningful and lasting change.
