It’s not about the nail

Maybe you’re not exactly hitting the nail on the head when you try to communicate. Usually it's not about the nail. We love how this video illustrates that point…

If you relate to the couple in the video, check out the details on Pete’s upcoming couples workshop this August 2-3, 2013, in Santa Clara, CA. Details here.

For more than 20 years, Pete has conducted this workshop for couples from around the world. You and your partner can create meaningful change, and could go from conflict to connection in just 2 days.

Want to see Pete in action? Click here to see a video that will help you understand just a little bit better where your partner may be coming from.
