Judy K. Herman equips entrepreneurial couples to establish healthy relationship patterns by creating connection beyond conflict in order to experience partnership, peace, and purpose. "What I found is that many entrepreneurial couples are driven, exhausted and confused as they navigate marital differences while raising their children." 1. Their opposite interests, personalities, and parenting values have created conflicts that seem impossible to solve. 2. One overcompensates while the other tries to keep the peace. 3. They’ve tried counseling and marriage enrichment retreats and conferences. But nothing has helped long-term. What they really need is a clear perspective and plan for connection in ways that enhance their authentic selves and nurtures their families so they can experience purposeful, peaceful, and empowered lives without regrets. Leaders are drawn to Judy's speaking, coaching and counseling. She helps leaders create connection beyond conflict in their closest relationships. Then they are free to pursue their calling to serve others from a place of vibrant authenticity.Judy K.
