Listen to the SAFM interview of Robin's workshops. This interview covers a wide range of topics including Manipulation, Discipline, Parent Support, Techniques etc. Highly recommended listening (16 minutes). Or you can choose the separate topics by looking at the list on the bottom of this page. Choose from the list of workshops on the left hand menu (under the SynEDgy Training link) to find out more about their details.
SynEDgy Training is the second pillar of the SynEDgy Approach to Living and Learning Together. Our 'learning' to be human is something which most likely happens only by the socialization of our children by societal norms and values. If we wish to become a lawyer, we study and train for many years to become a competent one. If we wish to be a teacher, we need to study for at least three years.
But in being human, our training seems to 'just happen' without much thought, reason or purpose. We learn how to communicate through our parents. We learn to speak their native Language (English, Spanish etc) and we also learn their emotional language (how to resolve conflict, how to work with increasing stress levels etc).
The challenge comes when we come to realise that the skills we have are no longer appropriate (like shouting or threatening to get our children to cooperate). This is where SynEDgy Training provides various workshops that support you in developing the core skills needed to communicate and be effective human beings (whatever 'being human' means for you.)
These workshops are designed to make a difference throughout your life, not just as a once off product (like eating a sandwich). It is therefore an investment into your life and your relationships.

Testimonials
I realised that to become a lawyer, I studied for over six years. Yet to communicate with my child and to be an effective parent, I expected it to just happen. By doing some of these workshops, I have experienced what a difference 'skilling my self up' has made on my relationships in my family and work environment. Jason, parent and Legal advisor
Before I used to be a parent that would moan, shout and complain. Now I feel confident with skills that work and I find my children are co-operating with me so much more. And I can see how they are also becoming confident and responsible chidlren. Mandy, parent of three
