*Smart Women Creating Smart Relationships: Discovering the Skills You Need to Get Through Tough Times* Lead by Lisa Merlo-Booth, Relationship Coach and Director of Professional Development for the Relational Life Institute.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner—the start of the holiday season; the start of the time of year when we spend more time with our families than any other time of the year. Before it starts and to prepare, take time out for yourself. On November 19th, join me, Lisa Merlo-Booth, to learn how to build smart relationships. We will discuss the daily grind of juggling work life, home demands, and relationship challenges and family issues.

Each one of us adopts a variety of coping mechanisms to meet the challenges of today’s crazy pace. Those coping mechanisms can be defined in six roles. Such as the Detailer, who micromanages her spouse so that he’s helpless and she’s exhausted? Or, the Cheerleader, who’s relentlessly positive about her relationship 24/7, refusing to acknowledge that any tensions might exist — and meanwhile she’s seething inside? Or the Traveler, who spends all her time with friends, with kids, with her kids’ friends, avoiding the emptiness at home?

We all use coping mechanisms like these — with mixed success. But what if there were a better way?

On the 19th we will talk about the roles we put ourselves into and outline a five-step process to improve and build a relationship that is sustainable and nourishing. Space is limited, so book early.
