What Our Students Are Saying

Our students have grown their relational skills by taking our courses. Here are just a few of their stories.

"Non-stressful opportunities to practice"

"I loved this course so much the first time I took it that I just had to take it again. The breakout sessions are great non-stressful opportunities to practice and receive positive feedback. I’m using the GREW skills in the “Barnabas Coaching Ministry” at my church. They make a big difference when I meet with a person who really just needs to be listened to."

Sherrie Boggio

"This is a wonderfully executed course"

"Material was presented in layers (videos, workbook, discussion, and application) which helped solidify learning and meet a variety of learning styles. There was great communication and materials, and there was interaction to build community within an online course. I was expecting greatness and that’s what I experienced!"

Jenn Utech

"Trained my brain to automatically interact differently with people"

"Since I took this course, I catch myself following its principles, not just consciously, but also out of having trained my brain to automatically interact differently with people. I see myself not interrupting people as much, and just letting them express how they feel. Instead of blurting out advice, I try to let people communicate and reflect."

Keair Lee

"I’d be extremely likely to recommend this course to others"

"This course’s discussion of “burdens versus loads” was a huge insight for me. I run our church’s pastoral care ministry, and I tend to be a fixer. This course has really helped me distinguish what is respectful and empowering from what is enabling and disempowering. I’d be extremely likely to recommend this course to others."

Linda Locke

"Now I can really help people calm down if they’re upset about something"

"My spouse and I serve on a board where people bring their complaints. One of the best things I picked up from this course was Dr. Sweeten's reminder that a complaint isn't a call to action but a call to listen. Now I can really help people calm down if they’re upset about something."

Kelly Culler

"This has helped me a lot in my relationships"

"I always thought that "Love thy neighbor" meant "Solve other people’s problems." Until I took this course, I didn’t realize that this was actually being an Adverse Advisor. Realizing this, I’m now starting to curb that behavior and bring more empathy into conversations. This has helped me a lot in my relationships."

Joseph Fussner

"The single-best training I've ever attended"

“I am a PhD, and have been a consultant for 32 years. This is the single best training I've ever attended.”

Jon

PhD, Consultant

"The material is clear and concise"

“Powerful. The material is clear and concise. The breakout (practice) sessions and feedback during the breakouts are so helpful. The sincere openness and genuinely kind, safe and warm learning environment... I could go on!”

Suzy

Nurse Practitioner

"These skills... are essential for communicating love to others!"

"We didn't get taught these skills in missionary training, but they are essential for communicating love to others!"

Eric

Missionary

The Communicate For A Change Course

This series includes the Communicate For A Change online course, in which 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.
