La Playa Beach & Golf Resort, Naples, FL – May 1 & 2, 2015
Energize your most important relationship in a beautiful location, take the time to rejuvenate, and focus on your bigger future as a couple. What is the Couples Connection® workshop? This two-day workshop gives you and your spouse a protected oasis away from it all. Here, you’ll find the time, the insights, and the inspiration to dream up a future you’ll both love—and build practical plans to make it happen.
How does it work? With a fun and committed coach, and other dynamic entrepreneurial couples, you and your spouse will: • • • • •
Get to the heart of your value system as a couple. Design your Bigger Future™ together. Create space and time for your most important priorities. Book protected free time together in advance. Plan how to accomplish your most important projects.
What should we expect? If this is your first-ever Couples Connection workshop, you’ll experience the benefit of applying Strategic Coach® tools and concepts to your relationship. If you’ve attended before and are ready to revisit your goals, the workshop will give you and your spouse new strategies for helping transform wish lists into action plans.
“My husband has been involved with Strategic Coach for over 15 years. It wasn’t until I attended the Couples Connection workshops that I fully understood how valuable the Program was to our marriage and family, as well as his business. We have now passed many of these tools on to our four children, and they benefited the whole family!” Theresa Keeley Scottsdale, AZ

Join other entrepreneuriallyminded couples for a two-day couples’ retreat! Adrienne Duffy’s passion for helping others to grow is reflected in her business, where she and her husband, Patrick, provide leadership and development for individuals and organizations, as well as in her role as an associate coach since 1995. Coaching the Couples Connection is a rewarding experience that is close to her heart. As part of an entrepreneurial couple, she knows how isolating it can be: “I find it incredibly satisfying to see couples realizing they’re not alone. Suddenly they’re saying, ‘We’re not crazy. There are other couples who are like us and are experiencing the same things we are!’”
For more information, please speak to one of our Team Program specialists. In Canada, call 416.531.7399 or 1.800.387.3206. In the U.S., call 847.699.5767 or 1.888.872.8877. From the UK, call 0800 051 6413. You can also email [email protected].
Frequently Asked Questions 1. What’s the format of the workshop? The workshop focuses on having you work together as a couple, as well as do some individual work and participate in small-group sharing with other couples. There are also large-group discussions where participants can share their thoughts and insights.
2. Will there be personal time to spend with my spouse? Of course! We’ve extended the previous one-day session to a longer-format, two-day workshop to allow more time for activities, socializing, and free time together. Both days end at 3:00 p.m., so there’s plenty of time to enjoy the resort and a mini-vacation together.
3. Will I have to share personal information? Only if you want to. All the materials are for your use only, and you’re free to share whatever feels appropriate. The types of things participants share with others are their achievements as a couple, their best Free Day™ experiences, and their Kolbe profiles.
4. Could this be viewed as couples’ therapy? No, not at all. This workshop is not a substitute for couples’ therapy and is therefore not designed to resolve outstanding issues. Our assumption is that your relationship is already very good—about 90 percent of where you want it to be—and we can simply help you achieve the remaining 10 percent.
5. My spouse is in the Program, not me. Will I be at a disadvantage if I’m not familiar with the concepts? The format and presentation style of the workshop mean you don’t need any previous knowledge of the Program concepts and materials. Even your spouse, who is in the Program, will have never used the exercises in this way before. So, essentially, it will be new for everyone.
6. What value can we expect from attending this workshop? Participants who’ve attended a Strategic Coach Couples Connection workshop generally leave with a renewed sense of love and appreciation for each other. Free from the distractions of daily life, you can focus on being together and appreciating what makes you unique as a couple. You also have the rare opportunity to spend time focusing on the future of your most important relationship.
7. Will the workshop focus on my or my spouse’s business at all? This workshop is about both of you: your relationship, your life together, and how you can strengthen what you already have as a couple. Business-related issues are not the focus of the workshop exercises or discussions.
8. Can we participate more than once? We hope you do! Many couples make this an annual event to reconnect with each other, with friends they’ve made, and with their future vision. It’s wonderful to come back and evaluate your progress and get charged up again for the future. The beautiful, serene, and relaxing workshop locations also make for an ideal “plan and play” getaway.
