Join us for this life-changing 6-week experience!

What makes this experience unique are the practice sessions! In each of the six sessions, there are three breakout times to practice what you are learning with peers who are also learning the material! Prior learners state that the practice sessions are what they look forward to the most, and where they got the most benefit!

We know that communication can make or break our relationships, and this course will help you:

  • Connect in NEW ways with family, friends, and those you lead. 
  • Level-UP your communication skills in noticeable ways,
  • Leverage these skills to IMPROVE each of your relationships (especially your challenging ones!)

The Communicate For A Change Course

In this course, Gary Sweeten teaches four simple relational skills that lead to a profound change in our lives and relationships. It may come as a surprise, but these skills center around listening instead of speaking. Research consistently shows how the most important factor in life change and growth is the quality and connection of our relationships. Using concepts and skills taught to counselors and therapists, this course teaches how to listen well to create the kind of relationships in which people feel safe, connected, and thrive.
