Ever walked away from a conversation with a client feeling drained, misunderstood, or unsure if you really connected?

Conflict doesn’t have to mean confrontation, and avoiding it doesn’t make it go away. In fact, learning how to navigate it with emotional intelligence can completely transform your work, your client relationships, and even your own well-being.

This September 17th, join Mediator & Certified Professional Dog Trainer Carmaleta Aufderheide for a thought-provoking webinar on conflict resolution - what it is, why it matters, and how to approach it in a way that builds trust, clarity, and resilience.

You’ll discover how to:
✨ Create truly safe spaces for honest dialogue
✨ Spot a “counterfeit yes” before it derails progress
✨ Ask better questions without becoming your client’s therapist
✨ Set healthy boundaries and prevent burnout
✨ Blend science with emotional humility for more authentic connections

📅 When: Sept 17th 10am PT | 6pm UK
🎤 Host: Tom Candy | Tech support by Team GSA

Live Event and Recording FREE for Diamond Members.
Recording FREE for Library Pass Holders.
Live Event and Recording $29 to purchase.

We’ve heard there’s a heatwave over in the UK, so we’re sharing this timely post from the lovely folks at Yappily.

Hoping our friends across the pond stay safe & cool. ❤️

Hot weather might mean a change of plans 🔥

If your dog’s walk, daycare, or grooming appointment is cancelled because of the heat, please know it’s done with care.

It's really hard for dogs in hot weather especially flat-faced breeds, older dogs, or those with health conditions.

These changes are made to help keep your dog comfortable and well.

Thanks so much for understanding 🐾☀️
