Making It Work at Work and at Home

Beschreibung

Entrepreneurial Couples: Making It Work at Work and at Home has been updated for today's couples. Caught in the squeeze of trying to maintain two careers in today's tough corporate climate, more and more couples are giving up their jobs in order to start their own businesses. Whether they work together in a business or are each owners of a separate enterprise, these entrepreneurial couples face a daunting task--balancing the competing demands of love and work. "The couple bond is a significant element in the success of entrepreneurial businesses," says psychologist and business consultant Kathy Marshack in Entrepreneurial Couples. "Not only do these partners negotiate with each other for love, sex, status, and support, but they also depend on the relationship for their own self-definition."Marshack examines the traps these couples can fall into and offers practical advice for dealing with them. For example, entrepreneurial couples with a full family life have greater potential for communication breakdown and interpersonal problems than do other couples. They often fail to confront issues head on, instead relying on compromise and other avoidance techniques to ward off conflict. "Decisions arrived at through compromise usually lack creativity and seldom last," says the author. "It may be fine to compromise about choosing a restaurant for dinner, but compromising about your business can sabotage your competitive edge." Trying to keep family and business issues separate is just not realistic, according to Marshack. To be successful as an entrepreneurial couple requires planning a life--a life that includes your personal and relationship goals as well as your career and business goals. Entrepreneurial Couples shows how to assess each area of your life and offers tips and twelve different exercises for brainstorming, creating contingency plans, achieving flexibility, and developing a successful life and business plan with your partner.

Welcome. Right from the start, I want you to know:¿ You are not alone.¿ Your voice matters.¿ I am here to help you --- through my books, my online courses, and my international online communitiesI am Dr. Kathy Marshack, psychologist and author. As a professional I specialize in helping my clients who are in Complex Relationships that are tough to treat with conventional psychotherapy. The short list (but not all inclusive) of couples and families in Complex Relationships include:¿ "Asperger Syndrome" or High Functioning Autism ¿ Codependency¿ High Conflict Divorce¿ Empathy Dysfunction¿ Entrepreneurial CouplesMy credentials go back decades including a Master's Degree in Social Work, and a Doctorate in Psychology. I've worked in every conceivable professional setting from child protective services, home health agencies, public schools, colleges, hospitals, and mental health clinics. I've covered lots of territory in those years, as you can imagine; everything from working with young children, teens, couples, families, seniors, and entrepreneurs; and with every conceivable diagnosis.I've trained with the best too. My favored clinical skills include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Ericksonian Hypnosis, and Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET). I find these techniques incredibly powerful in creating elegant and long-lasting healing and change. But as valuable as my education, training and experience is, I also know that each one of you is as unique and special as your fingerprints. Did you know that no one on the planet shares your fingerprints? That's right. What this means is that there is no "one size fits all." That's why I have designed my course and communities with differing levels of service depending on your needs: teleconferences, small intimate video conferences, community forums, and one-on-one video conferences with me if you like.You may already know that I am the author of several books to help you with your NeuroDivergent relationship."Going Over the Edge? --- Life with a Partner or Spouse with Asperger Syndrome." "Out of Mind-Out of Sight: Parenting with a Partner with Asperger Syndrome (ASD)." "When Empathy Fails: How to Stop Those Hell-bent on Destroying You.""Asperger Syndrome & Relationships: Everything You Need to Survive a NeuroDivergent Life" (an eBook)."Empathy is More Than Words: Groundbreaking Tools for NeuroDivergent Relationships," has just been released. It is available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback.There is one more thing I want you to know about me. I can relate personally to every single one of the Complex Relationship bullet points listed above. I was raised by a High Functioning Autistic mother, and an alcoholic father. My eldest daughter is on the Autism Spectrum. I've been an entrepreneur for many, many years, and raised my children in this environment. I too went through a hostile divorce, including parental alienation. Just like you, I went through a lot of suffering before it occurred to me to take another approach. I learned to build resilience. I learned to use what I know as a psychologist to reshape the outcome. I counted on the principle that Michelle Obama champions, "When they go low, we go high." This doesn't mean that you don't get hurt, or angry during all of those trying times. What it means is that when you're up against the harshness of a Complex Relationship, "your response has to reflect the solution," according to our former First Lady.I call this response, Radiant Empathy) something I describe in detail in my book "Empathy is More Than Words." Life isn't perfect, and you will keep making mistakes. But with Radiant Empathy you will learn to use your mistakes as feedback to refashion your life for greater healing, love and happiness.Learn more about Dr. Marshack's articles, online courses, and consultation by visiting www.kmarshack.com.
