Powerful Conversations Course

God changes people. We don't. We know that. And we love it whenever God shows up in a conversation. But what's our part in that exchange? Are there things we do in conversation that either open the way for God to act, or effectively shut Him out? Is it really possible to have a powerful, God-inspired conversation with anyone, anywhere, anytime? Yes! Whether you want to make the most of your impact & influence as a leader in your church, in your organization, or with the people in your community, this course will give you the skills you need to do it.

What People Are Saying...

"I've attended numerous communications seminars over the years, and though I often leave with great information, I don't usually see much change in my life or the lives of others. The Powerful Conversations course is unique because it encourages immediate, hands-on application that helps the principles really stick with you. The skills I learned have been life-changing in my business and personal relationships. I'm growing in my ability to listen to others with intent and interest. People are noticing a difference in how I relate to them and are feeling affirmed and appreciated. I can see God using me more in the lives of others because of what I've learned in this course. Powerful, indeed!" ~ Edie Surtees, Texas

"Michael is a great guide. We have many unknown boundaries that we create in life; the right way to do things or not. The course helped me to see boundaries I create in communication and challenged me to live a more vulnerable and present life." ~ Susana Moraga, California

"You mentioned at the beginning of Powerful Conversations that we would never look at conversations with one another quite the same way, and after taking your class I strongly agree. I am excited by the future conversations that I will have with others that could be life changing for them and myself." ~ Edward Trent, Texas

"The course is as good as the teacher. Period. The teacher lives this stuff deep in his gut. It's obvious. For this reason teaching flows instead of being stilted, and dialog between the teachers and the conversationalists is natural and points skillfully to skills being employed even as people are sharing their story of the week. The guy is just plain good." ~ Diane Bello, Florida
