The Couples Institute Communication Workshop was absolutely wonderful and I am so happy that my husband and I were able to attend. This will undoubtedly change your marriage in the most positive way! You will gain knowledge on how to grow and rebuild connection with your partner and break old patterns of ineffective communication. I absolutely loved it! Michelle is kind and clear in her teaching.”

“I was fairly apprehensive before we went to the workshop, because I don’t like to share feelings in public, so it was a relief to find out that I wouldn’t have to. The day was at times intense and at other times fun. My partner and I explored some issues that have been dogging us for years and learned new ways of dealing with them. Michelle provided some very helpful insights into what gets in the way of us communicating with each other, as well as some tips for how to solve problems rationally, rather than allowing our reactivity to get in the way. Highly recommend it to couples at any stage of a relationship!”

“My husband and I found the Couples Communication Workshop to be terrific. Michelle is a great teacher and made us both feel very comfortable – it was wonderful to know that none of the couples would be asked to process or practice the exercises in front of the group. We not only felt good about the issue we processed and negotiated at the workshop, but also had an extremely wonderful outcome when we applied what we learned at home. Take the workshop! Even with a reluctant partner, we both got very much out of the day.”

ENNEAGRAM TRAINING FOR CORPORATE TEAMS
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
”Michelle led my team through an Enneagram workshop, and helped each of us to understand our types and how they might affect how we respond to different situations at work. The session was really enlightening for each of us participating, and we came out of it feeling like we understood ourselves better and understood how our unique personality traits informed our work.”

“Bringing Michelle in for the enneagram workshop was a unique and insightful experience during our team offsite. We left with a better understanding of ourselves and how we can best partner with each other (where we shine, how to support each other through the different challenges, etc). Michelle facilitated a conversation where we were able to dive deep, ask each other questions that we normally wouldn’t, and inspire us to keep our different enneagram types in mind throughout the rest of our offsite/partnering together after the offsite. It was a great experience where we could let our guards down and get to know each other. I would definitely consider doing this workshop with future teams/offsites.”

ENNEAGRAM TRAINING FOR CLINICAL STAFF
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
”I’m so glad my team had the opportunity to connect through the unique experience of Enneagram Training with Michelle Joy. We are all still talking about our types, it really made an impact! Not only was it fun and interactive, but I have a significantly better understanding of the strengths, challenge areas and ways I can be supportive of each participant as a supervisor. Multiple attendees have expressed they’ve found themselves using the information learned about one another to work together more effectively in the time since our training. I am grateful for the rare experiences that create long-lasting harmony amongst the staff, and the Enneagram Training with Michelle Joy was certainly one of those experiences. Thank you Michelle!”

“Michelle taught the Enneagram to our organization and it was incredibly well received. One of our participants wrote, ‘Her clarity about the enneagram types and how best to work with each one [was what I liked best about the training]. She is a very sincere and thoughtful presenter – and I imagine the same as a therapist.’ I recommend Michelle’s Enneagram training to anyone looking to learn more about the Enneagram and how to best utilize it with their clients in therapy.”
