Does your relationship need a tune-up? "Finding ‘true love’ is easy − sexual chemistry takes care of that," says Marriage and Family Therapist Gerry Owen. "But finding 'True Loving’ is much harder." In his lively talk, Owen, a popular newspaper columnist, speaker and trainer, shows how learning to read your 'emotional body' is the key to repairing hurts and resolving conflicts between you and those you care about. "We're all under so much stress − work, kids, family, money − that our relationships get stuck from time to time and need tune-ups, just like our automobiles," says Owen, a former college professor and expert on ethical challenges who customizes his dynamic talks to fit your organization's needs. His interactive presentations use Power Point, music and training activities to keep things moving, and with the appropriate approval, they meet many Continuing Education (CEU) requirements. Gerry Owen presentations include: True Loving or Thriving in Relationships Across the Years
Learn the "Three Simple Facts of Loving" that help resolve emotional pain in the quickest and best way possible. "Resolution of pain is often simple − the shifting of a few words, being able to hear the unspoken hurt," says Owen, who offers simple ways to heal relationships based on insights from emotional neurobiology. Through stories and audience participation, he helps you anchor these healing tools in both head and heart. You'll learn the secrets of "True Loving" and first aid for emotional hurts and injuries. The result? Your relationships will blossom. "Ignoring the danger signs of trouble only increases the problem," says Owen, who adds that healing relationship problems is "a challenge worth mastering." You'll leave with powerful tools that mend any relationship − and make going home more enjoyable! Your ETHICAL Wisdom Path
"Should I, or Shouldn’t I?" If you're asking this question, you're facing an ethical challenge. Are you making the right decisions – or do you constantly trip as you navigate between good intentions and right action? Most of us know right from wrong and have good intentions, yet ethical missteps happen more than we’d like – often with heavy personal, family and financial consequences. Why? “We’re missing the skills to manage ethical challenges and stay on the good course,” says Gerry Owen, whose Right Training program engages the wisdom of our emotional bodies to resolve conflict and personal and ethical challenges. “Brain research shows that our bodies seek comfort and avoid pain – but sometimes comfort leads us down the wrong path while ‘doing the right thing’ may bring some pain. The challenge is to manage our actions so that we make ethical decisions for ourselves and those around us.” Using tools from the latest neurological research, Gerry shows how to close the gap between your innate emotional wisdom and principled action. His “Should I, or Shouldn’t I?” skills transform both business and personal relationships. You'll learn how to identify your ethical principles and "ethical geography" and how to deal with the "missing link" that connects your ethics with your "emotional body wisdom." And if you stray off course? Owen shows how to "clean up after you slip up." The result? At work, you and your staff become more productive, conflicts diminish, legal exposure declines, and profits increase. At home, you feel better about yourself and those closest to you. You’ll leave this entertaining talk knowing how to avoid pitfalls, ease conflict, and ethically achieve your personal purpose and goals. You'll leave this life-changing talk knowing how to make easier and better decisions. Many people have resolved complex puzzles of loving and ethics with tools presented by Gerry Owen.
