WORKSHOP PRESENTERS TRAINING
Using the Relational Paradigm to
Revolutionize the World:
Transforming Lives Through the Power of Connection
In this dynamic and inspiring training, participants will explore how relational intelligence—the capacity to understand, attune to, and engage meaningfully with others—has become one of the most vital tools for healing and transformation in today’s world. When we bring our presence to a Relational Paradigm with Couples in the workshop we empower them to find their own answers, become their own change agents, and then bring this new, healing energy to the world. As we navigate a time of disconnection, polarization, and rapid change, the ability to create safe, conscious, and empathic connections is not just therapeutic—it’s revolutionary.
Learn how to use the energy in our bodies and minds along with the energy in the room to facilitate a pro-error learning environment. This safe learning space helps couples practice the tools and ideas that will consistently create connection for them after the workshop. Drawing on insights from Imago Relationship Therapy and global relational trends, this training will reframe the presenters role as more than an expert presenting information. As we learn to work with the energy between people we become dialogical peace-makers!

RELATIONAL COMPENTENCY
Transforming Lives Through the Power of Relational Competency and Connection Through Authenticity, Presence and Emotional Safety
Welcome to this journey of connection and healing. I’m so glad you’re here and ready to deepen your clinical and professional growth through the lens of relational competency as a workshop presenter!
As therapists, we hold a unique strength—relational intelligence—that is more vital now than ever. In a digital world that too often fuels disconnection and isolation, genuine human connection has become a rare and precious currency. As we expand our awareness beyond individuals and couples to larger groups, we can harness our authentic relationship experiences to illuminate, engage and inspire couples to explore themselves and each other with more compassion and empathy.
Connection isn’t just a therapeutic tool—it’s a healing force. And today, it’s transforming how we engage, share information, and build trust. Where past models centered on authority, power, and the "experts," we are now called to lead, teach and market our gifts with authenticity, emotional attunement, and presence.
Relational competency allows us to show up fully—without sacrificing who we are. It empowers us to meet new clients, collaborate with peers, sustain meaningful professional relationships, and become professional presenters all while staying grounded in the truth of who we are and what we value. This is more than professional development—it’s a reclaiming of connection as the heart of our work. This is why I am passionate about guiding clinicians from around the globe in mastering the art and practice of Imago Relationship Therapy and presenting Imago Workshops!
From my professional base here in Texas to training rooms in Romania, Turkey, The Netherlands, South Korea and Costa Rica, I’ve witnessed the profound impact of this work across cultures. What becomes crystal clear—no matter the language or location—is this: Relationship Work is Peace Work. Whether you're guiding couples through conflict or helping them rediscover love, you're contributing to something larger. Each moment of connection creates ripples—touching families, classrooms, communities, and the world beyond.
I will present this informative training not as an "expert" with all of the answers, but as someone who applies these tools to my own challenges - in my friendships, my marriage, and in my parenting. Relationships are not easy! Yet when I a shift my mindset to the relational paradigm, my heart opens, and new possibilities emerge that create meaningful connections! Together we will explore ideas and the presentation tools to learn and grow together .
If you’re ready to bring new depth, clarity, and effectiveness to your practice—and if you're curious about becoming a Certified Imago Workshop Presenter, there are rich professional opportunities ahead, grounded in our international Imago community and in local, personal connections. Even more importantly, this journey offers you the chance to deepen your understanding about your clients' relationships, but your own as well!
Come learn what’s emerging in the world of creating conscious relationships—and step into the kind of therapist, presenter and human you are meant to be.
Bring your colleagues and you partners!
