Public Speaking and Media Consultation

Both Alysha Roll and Mary Beth George are Master Trainers and Consultants for The Gottman Institute. We are frequently called upon to provide expertise in a variety of areas. If your institution or group is in need of a speaker, contributor to an article or a media appearance, we are here to help.

What We Offer

Please note that during the pandemic, we can offer trainings, workshops and webinars online

Speaking Engagements

We are available for both large and small audiences, one-hour or full-day workshops, live or online options . . . all depending on your specific needs. We can provide a variety of topics, such as:

• The Science of Healthy Relationships
• Healing from Affairs and Betrayals
• Improving Workplace Relationships
• Emotion Coaching:  The Heart of Relating to Children and Teens
• Healthy Relationships 101
• Other topics can be specifically developed for your needs

The fee for speaking engagements is $500/hour per speaker for live presentations. The fee for online speaking engagements will be negotiated on a case by case basis.

Gottman Workshops

• The Art & Science of Love 2 Couples 2-day Workshop (a minimum of 12 couples required. Couples must have already attended The Art & Science of Love)
