Course 1: Equipped Man Event

Time:  Canberra: 9:00 am to 3:30 pm.   Sydney: 10:00 am to 4:30 pm.

Cost:  $145.

Designed for:  Men who want to understand how to meet their partners’ needs for a minimum of effort so they can enjoy their relationship even more.  This is the course we recommend for every man.

The Equipped Man Event is all about seeing through the issues and bringing things back to the core questions…

Unlike the Evening event, we go so much further to explore…

• What her top five needs are;
• How to satisfy those needs for a minimum of effort;
• Strategies for easily causing her to feel loved each day;
• Hearing her intentions and what she’s really saying, beneath the emotion;
• Creating fun experiences together that you will both love;
• Recognizing challenges and conflicts before they happen;
• Keys to working through differences confidently and effectively.

The feedback from these events is overwhelmingly positive.  Men simply wish that they’d discovered these keys sooner.  Life just looks brighter when you are equipped with practical tools and insights to have the life with your loved one that you really want.
