Talking to your teenager (or preteen!) can be especially challenging. From tween to twenty our parenting styles need to adapt.

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
Each person’s unique personality is full of positive attributes. Being able to uncover the needs and motivations of these attributes is life changing. Using the DISC Assessment and relationship mapping you will gain insights into the way your teen is wired and how to work with them where they are – as who they are – without trying to change them. You will, however, be able to change the outcome of your interactions by practicing the techniques covered in the Empowered Parenting/Talking to Teens workshops. You will also gain greater understanding of yourself and your own needs and tendencies that may be blindspots in your self-awareness and impacting your parenting.
These tools have enabled Catherine and Christine to better appreciate the innate personalities of their own children and it’s our sincere hope they will do the same for you.

Catherine Walker comes to you with over 19 years experience as an Executive Leader training and mentoring 100’s of team members. While working with her teams, she realized you can not coach every person the same way. You have to adjust to their individual personality styles.
The same is true with parenting. Kids come out with their own hard wiring. Catherine’s three girls ages 15, 19, and 22 are all very different in personality. As a mom, she has had to adjust her manner of speaking and approach to each of her girls in order to communicate effectively. There is not a “one and done” method to parenting.
With no manual to guide you, parenting can be difficult especially through the preteen and teen years. Catherine is a credible speaker and trainer who wants to equip more moms and dads with the know-how to connect with their kids on a deeper level. You will find her training full of tangible ideas that you can implement right away! Attending this workshop can help unlock the door to understanding yourself and your kid(s).
