Relationships can be so rewarding. But they take a lot of work sometimes. James knew exactly how to teach us what we needed to become better individually and collectively.
The following is a list of the most common challenges facing families. Don't be alarmed! Admittedly, this isn't a fun list, but it is a very common one for many families. Unfortunately, many are struggling and they don't know exactly what to do to get out of these negative cycles.
Disappointment and disapproval
Non-compliance and lack of cooperation
Aggressive, passive or passive-aggressive behaviors
Laziness or apathy
Resistance or rebelliousness
Negative communication, arguments and conflicts
A lack of productivity or contribution
Anxiety and depression
Boredom and loneliness
Dependent behavior (screen dependency)
We Can Help...
I thought it was hopeless. Our friends told us about James and Valerie and how helpful they had been to their family. We connected and quickly it was clear they had a solid plan and approach. The rest is history.
Our family coaches are adept at establishing and maintaining a culture of gentleness, mercy, forgiveness, empathy and consideration. By analyzing past and current experiences, our coaches will guide your family toward a better understanding of the factors that influence both productive and unproductive individual behavioral patterns and relational dynamics.
Family life can be a real challenge and sometimes an objective perspective, with some practical tips, can make a huge difference.
Family coaching is typically provided on a weekly basis for 60-120 minutes and provides opportunities for live, in-the-moment training as well as for direct teaching. The ultimate goal is for family members to work toward more productive functioning, even in the most challenging situations.
“James knows so much about people and relationships. He taught us about motives, tactics, defenses and reactions. So we really understood the core messages causing the problems. Plus, he knew exactly how to blend humor, fun and play as he guided us to learn how to better relate to one another.”
“We started with the mentoring for our son and through discussion with Shane it became clear we needed some help as parents and also with us all. It wasn't always easy or necessarily fun, but it was necessary. They helped us see more clearly and offered great ideas of how we could improve.”
“Those guys are solid, good people who really care. They were flexible to meet our needs. They always had an answer to any question. A solution to any problem. We are forever grateful for De Andre and James and what they did for our family.”
