Family Coaching

💡 What Makes Our Approach Unique?

Unlike traditional coaching methods that focus on surface-level behaviors, our approach digs deep to uncover the true causes of conflict. We don’t just offer generic advice—we provide personalized coaching guides using scientific assessments that reveal each family member’s values, communication styles, and behavioral tendencies.

By understanding why differences exist, families can stop taking conflicts personally and learn to communicate with empathy and clarity. 💬💞

🔍 How We Use the Hartman Value Profile (HVP) in Family Coaching

The Hartman Value Profile (HVP) measures how individuals prioritize three key value types:

💖 Intrinsic Values: Focus on emotions and relationships.
⚙️ Extrinsic Values: Focus on tasks and practical outcomes.
📚 Systemic Values: Focus on logic, structure, and rules.

These values impact how people communicate and approach conflict. For example:
👉 Intrinsic Thinkers may feel hurt by practical conversations that lack emotional warmth.
👉 Extrinsic Thinkers may prioritize tasks over emotions, creating frustration for others.
👉 Systemic Thinkers may prefer rules and structure, which can feel rigid to more emotional family members.

The HVP also highlights other tendencies, such as:

🌈 Idealism vs. 🌱 Realism: Do family members focus on big-picture ideals or practical solutions?
🤷 Conflict Avoidance vs. 💪 Assertiveness: Are family members avoiding disagreements, or are they overly confrontational?

By identifying these differences, families can see why misunderstandings happen and learn to approach each other with greater empathy. ❤️

🧩 How We Use the DISC Assessment to Identify Behavior Styles

The DISC Assessment helps families understand how each person acts, reacts, and interacts with others. It evaluates four key traits:

💪 Dominance (D): How someone approaches challenges.
🎉 Influence (I): How someone interacts and communicates with others.
🌿 Steadiness (S): How someone handles pace and consistency.
📏 Compliance (C): How someone follows rules and structure.

These traits reveal important insights for family dynamics. For example:
👉 A Dominant parent may seem too controlling to a Steady child who prefers a slower approach.
👉 A Highly Influential sibling may clash with a Highly Compliant sibling who prefers clear rules and boundaries.

Understanding these differences helps families resolve conflicts, improve communication, and create a more harmonious home. 🏡✨

📋 Our Process: From Assessments to Custom Coaching

Here’s how our Marriage and Family Coaching process works:

1️⃣ Individual Assessments

Each family member completes the Hartman Value Profile (HVP) and DISC Assessment to gain a deeper understanding of their values and behaviors.

2️⃣ Comparison and Analysis

We compare the results to identify:
✅ Areas of natural alignment between family members.
🚩 Potential conflict points that may cause misunderstandings.
🌱 Opportunities for growth and stronger communication.

3️⃣ Custom Coaching Guide

Based on the assessments, we create a personalized coaching plan that includes:

Practical tips to improve communication.
Conflict resolution strategies tailored to your family’s unique dynamics.
Exercises to build understanding and strengthen relationships.
💥 The Power of Understanding Differences

One of the most powerful insights from our coaching programs is that differences in communication styles aren’t personal attacks—they’re just different ways of thinking and interacting.

When family members understand this:
💡 A spouse who prioritizes tasks over emotions isn’t being cold—they just think differently.
💡 A child who avoids conflict isn’t being disrespectful—they’re simply uncomfortable with confrontation.
💡 A sibling who loves structure isn’t being controlling—they thrive on order and predictability.

This understanding helps reduce emotional tension and allows family members to communicate with compassion and empathy. 💖💬
