Connecting with Your Clients Using the 5 Languages of Appreciation

Connecting with Your Clients Using the 5 Languages of Appreciation

with Karla Obernesser

Karla Obernesser is a therapist with a private practice in downtown Bellevue. She works with individuals and couples who want to strengthen and grow their relationships. Karla is married to her college sweetheart, Richard, and they have been married for 30 years. Together they have 4 children. Two daughters (ages 27 and 25) and two sons (ages 13 and 23).

Do you sometimes find it difficult to connect with certain clients? Do you sometimes feel barriers in the progress with particular clients? Because we are all different, it is difficult to connect with every one, all the time. There are ways to help get through these barriers and create a stronger connection with your clients to achieve what you want to achieve together. 

The book, The Five Love Languages sold 7 million copies in English and was translated in 40 different languages around the world. It has been used to create stronger connections in couple relationships and parent-child relationships. Many people began using the 5 love languages in their workplace. The author, Gary Chapman, partnered with Dr. Paul White to create the Motivating by Appreciation Project. They created an inventory that helps to discover how people are motivated in the work place. As Professional Organizers work with their clients, they are faced with the challenge of the uniqueness of each individual and how best to motivate them to work together to create big changes. 

On Tuesday, February 6th, we will explore these 5 Languages of Appreciation, how to identify them in your clients, and ways you can use each language to motivate your clients to reach their full potential. Join us for an evening of a deeper dive into the exploration of The Five Languages of Appreciation.
