Whose Turn is It? How to be a Successful Power Couple
Learning objective: Discover techniques for couples to work together and not against each other
It used to be that a woman would attend college, meet a good man who would get a great job and they would live happily ever after. In today’s economic world, this is not the case. Now we have men and women that are CEOs, presidents of the board, or successful small business owners that become staples in the local economy. Did we lose the comfort of love and marriage in the pursuit of being a power couple? Are they doomed to tear each other down rather than build each other up? Are they able to turn it around and construct one powerhouse unit? These are ways to strengthen the love of entrepreneurship and the love for each other as a successful couple.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Examine the potential for success in your relationship and your careers
b. Learn about ways to work together and not against each other
c. Identify individual and couple’s interests
d. Design a plan for keeping work life balance a priority
