Dr. Karen Gail Lewis
 
Topics: Baby Boomers, Midlife, Relationships, Women's Issues Master the art of communication with the opposite sex and cut the staggering rate of relationship meltdown. A family therapist and author with 35 years of experience in her field, Dr. Karen Gail Lewis, teaches men and women how to recognize the distinctly different ways they express themselves and then bridge the communication gap that divides them. “With 60-75% of marital problems rooted in gender-related differences, both sexes need a wake-up call to avert a self-made disaster,” says Lewis, who helps men and women to “communicate clearly, argue productively, listen carefully to others and make sure we are heard.” Most important, she teaches both sexes to recognize when they aren’t communicating well. Lewis also focuses on the “shadow effect” of childhood sibling relationships that manifests years later in both our personal and professional lives. The author of six books, her most recent release, With or Without a Man: Single Women Taking Control of Their Lives, addresses the challenges faced by single women living in a society that values marriage. Her upcoming eBook is The Key to a Solid Marriage: Study The Gender Dictionary. Dr. Lewis has been featured in top U.S. newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, Cosmopolitan, Woman's Day, and Ladies Home Journal. She also writes a regular column, "He Said, She Said," for Cincinnati’s DownTowner. Her talks include: FOR WOMEN Mrs. CEO Gets Her Pink Slip – and Finds Her Own Voice Does this sound familiar: Mrs. CEO, married to a high-powered man, is forced into retirement when her children are grown and her husband retires. If this is your story, learn how to turn it into a growth experience and find your own voice at last. Mothers and Daughters and Their Daughters: Discover your generational heritage and take greater advantage of your hidden strengths. Are you in PMZ? Embrace your Post-Menopausal ZEST! The Push or Pull of Friendships: Learn how your friendships either motivate you to live a larger life or hold you back – in your personal world and at work. FOR COUPLES What is the key to a Solid Marriage? Understand how innate gender differences and the effects of ADD can create disharmony and misunderstanding between spouses. Learn how to turn these weaknesses into strengths for a deeper and more lasting relationship. Can you have an affair and not know it? Learn about the phenomenon of spouses who have affairs—not with members of the opposite sex, but with their careers, their hobbies, or other assorted interests that result in jealousy, hostility, and alienation from their relationship. “I Have A Headache” and Other Marital Myths About Love and Sex After 40 How to Have An Awful Marriage: A tongue-in-cheek presentation FOR ADULT CHILDREN AND THEIR SIBLINGS Adult Children: Teaching Your Parents to Treat You Differently You Can Go Home Again, But This Time, Do It Differently Surprise: Your Childhood Siblings Were Your First Marriage FOR THE WORKPLACE Dick and Jane Grow Up and Go To Work: How childhood sibling relationships shape the way you relate to people at work. Audiences come away with a greater understanding of how to maximize their gender-related strengths and minimize their weaknesses as well as establish powerful action plans for improving their relationships with loved ones, friends, siblings, bosses and co-workers. A member of the faculties of the University of Cincinnati Medical School, Virginia Polytechnic Institute Family Therapy Program, Johns Hopkins Medical School, and the University of Santiago, Chile, Dr. Karen Gail Lewis was honored in 1997 with the Visionary Award by the Washington, D.C. Rape Crisis Center. She holds a Master's Degree in Social Work and a Doctorate in Consulting Psychology. Dr. Lewis divides her time between Cincinnati, Ohio, and Washington, D.C. and lectures nationally and internationally on topics ranging from mid-life transition and the relationships of adult siblings to challenges facing empty nesters and Attention Deficit Disorder, a condition that often results in gross miscommunication and misunderstanding between loved ones. At her Unique Retreats for Women, Dr. Lewis produces two to three-day workshops and personal growth experiences designed for small groups of Baby Boomer women.
