Coaching, Psychotherapy, Writing, Teaching...
“Cultural myths and misinformation prevent people from having the loving relationships they deserve. Great relationships are not made in heaven. They do not need to end when you fall out of love, are not always exciting, and are not limited to a few lucky people.
Great relationships do require information, attention, time and commitment to the challenge of creating them. My job is helping you to have the conversations that build great relationships.”
Relationship coach and marriage counselor Laurie Weiss, Ph.D. has spent over thirty-five years studying, practicing and teaching relationship building skills. She is an internationally-known executive coach, consultant, psychotherapist, speaker and author. She has presented her work throughout the US and in ten other countries.
She has been married to the same partner since 1960 and in business with him since 1972. She and her partner/ husband, Jon Weiss, have practiced in Littleton, Colorado, since 1972, focusing on helping clients create dynamic, effective personal and working relationships.

Relationships Without Negativity?
What if you allowed no negativity into your relationship? My husband and I recently heard the creator of Imago Relationship Therapy, Harville Hendrix, speak at a professional conference.

And then he has a really good reason why he can't do it when he promised - or he just forgets - or he gets it almost done but leaves one critical piece [like calling when he'll be late]. We

A Tricky Supervision Challenge
Many managers believe that treating their team members as responsible adults will assure excellent results. The truth is that while this usually is effective, some people need much firmer limits than others to perform their jobs. Ellen, the manager of a rehabilitation hospital unit, was discussing her frustration in supervising one of her social workers. Ellen would much rather help Angelique be successful at her job than to fire her, but things have not been going well.
