Whether it is your child’s or an aging parents’ behavior, it is their way they interact with the world. We often label it as “good” or “bad” and want to control it the best we can.

Much like learning a foreign language, interpreting behavior makes for a much more satisfying experience.

“I thought you gave a great presentation and answered questions well.  It is obvious that you have a deep well of knowledge and passion about your work and it shows in the presentation. I have explored how I communicate and interact with my own family ever since. Thanks, Don, for coming to our club and for all the help.”

~ Luke Maybry (Rotary Club), Matthews, NC

“Don (with Focused Healthy Family) spoke to our Holistic Health Network group, sponsored by the Holistic Nurses of Charlotte and also to the National American Holistic Nurses meeting this year. They were warm, personable, and shared personal family experiences that led them to realize the importance of self-care for themselves and their family. They were enthusiastic, energetic and passionate about what they do and explained how they had changed professions to do this current work. ”

~ Carol Shea, RN

“I think you did a great job! The most helpful was having personal stories with your talk to help us relate to your topic. I wouldn't change a thing. The topic was clear, you spoke loudly, and you were prepared to answer all questions at the end. You probably got asked more questions than any other speaker we've had. You were very engaging! Your presentation may have initially been about how to help the mindset with home life, but the talk was definitely instrumental for business life and how to think and talk when conversing with clients, customers and co-workers. Thank you!

~ Dr. K T (Carolinas Referral Group), Waxhaw, NC
