Responsible: able to be trusted or depended upon; trustworthy; having good judgment or sound thinking; sensible; reliable.

Many of us consider ourselves to be responsible people.

Yet when our relationships flounder, what's the first thing we often do? Blame someone. And, if not the other person, we blame ourselves…

Blaming isn't useful. It automatically shifts you into victimhood and denies you the opportunity to have the kind of relationship you want.

Owning the position of leadership, however, is a powerful antidote.

Join Miki for this free, 75-minute introductory course and see how to inoculate yourself and your relationship against blame by assuming a leadership position. During the course, Miki and our volunteers will demonstrate what stepping into leadership – while holding deep, heartfelt caring for both people's needs – might look like. Listen and discover for yourself the excitement of seeing how, with Miki's support, it's possible to erase blame and bring a relationship back into mutual care!

You'll also hear a few words from Miki about her full telecourse, Taking 100% Responsibility for Every Relationship, where she'll be delving more deeply into the tips and techniques you'll hear about during this introductory course.

Then register for this free preview course and enjoy a taste of how leadership can set you free from blame – Miki-style!
