We're Dedicated to Providing Quality Learning Experiences

  • We're Expert Educators

    Sheryll has been an Adjunct Professor of Communication for more than three decades and a Subject Matter Expert for several leading academic publishers. Douglas has also taught at the college level. Together, we have extensive experience making complex concepts easy to understand and entertaining.

  • We're Lifelong Learners

    We share a passion for the pursuit of reliable knowledge with practical applications and a lifelong quest to live wisely. Our courses reflect the integration of three traditions: Academic Communication Theory, Evidence-Based Psychology, and Heart-Centered Philosophy.

  • We're Happily Married

    We walk our talk. We've been together for more than 20 years and have only had two work-related fights - back when we owned an inn. Everything we teach, we use in our relationship, so we know what we teach works! Our relationship keeps getting better and better - and our love grows every day!

Getting to the Heart of Couple Talk

Many committed couples ask me “Is romance, real romance, still possible?” Happily, I am able to tell them “Yes!” And…it can even get better.

For more than 20 years, Sheryll & I have lived real romance every day.
