September 15 – 17, 2012
Granlibakken Resort, North Lake Tahoe, California
Dear Divorced Friend,
You’ve been through a lot lately.
Perhaps you’re still mourning the death of your marriage. Or maybe you’re relieved and even glad to have escaped a less than ideal relationship with your ex-spouse.
Maybe the anger you feel at your ex-spouse is weighing you down. You want to feel at peace. And you want your kids to feel at peace, too.
Or you want to feel whole again now that you’re no longer part of a couple and are on your own. You want to get your own unique voice back and find yourself again. You want to stop feeling so nervous about returning to the dating world. And to believe that you can find true love, that it’s not something that happens only in the movies.
Now imagine you have left behind any grief you feel over the breakup of your marriage. The anger you felt at your ex-spouse is a thing of the past. Imagine that you’re calm and self-confident when you go out on a date—so self-confident your date finds you irresistible. Most importantly, you’re at peace and happy again. And your child also is happy and content. Imagine you finally have the courage to leave that job that makes you as unhappy as your marriage did and pursue the career of your dreams. How would that feel? Pretty good, yes?
Whether your marriage ended two months ago or two years ago, there’s a special event that can show you some easy ways to achieve all of the above and more. It’s called The Rebuilding Your Life After Divorce Mountain Retreat: Embrace Being Single, Help Your Kids Heal, and Discover How to Love Again. It’s happening September 15 – 17, 2012 in one of the most peaceful and beautiful spots in the world—North Lake Tahoe, California at Granlibakken Resort.
At the event, 12 of the country’s top relationship and self-empowerment experts will show you how to feel more at peace after divorce. Specifically, at The Rebuilding Your Life After Divorce Mountain Retreat you’ll discover:
• How to be more relaxed and completely self-confident as you re-enter the dating world.
• How to feel completely happy and at peace if you decide you want to spend time on your own.
• A simple technique to shed those stubborn pounds and eliminate food cravings so that you’ll look and feel your best as you venture out into the dating world.
• Ways to avoid the bickering that may have tainted your last marriage so that your next relationship will feel more peaceful.
• 4 magic questions to get your child to behave better and cooperate with your every request.
• How to forgive yourself for any role you feel you may have played in the breakup of your marriage.
• Common mistakes divorced people make when re-entering the dating world—you’re very likely making some of these mistakes and it’s sabotaging your chances of finding Mr. or Ms. Right.
• The #1 thing you must do today to improve your chances of healing and moving on in record time.
• The steps you need to take if you’re as unhappy with your job or career as you were with your marriage.
That’s just a taste of what you’ll discover as you relax under the pines near the shores of beautiful Lake Tahoe at Granlibakken Resort where you’ll have plenty of time to heal and plan for the future. After all the stress you’ve gone through, this peaceful environment is the ideal location to contemplate the direction of your new single life. You’ll also meet others who have gone through exactly what you’ve experienced, people who will give you empathy and support.
Sixty percent of all second marriages fail—but that’s only because many people don’t spend quality time exploring why their first marriage fell apart or think about what they can do differently the second time around. Attending a retreat like this can greatly improve your chances of having a successful relationship in the future as well as finally releasing the pain from the past.

REBOUND-O-RAMA: Are You Committing These Relationship-Destroying Blunders?
Keynote Presentation
If you’ve called “GAME OVER” on a spouse—or if they’ve called “GAME OVER” on you—you’ve been facing some big challenges lately—from the immediate financial and emotional issues for all parties involved, to longer-term considerations like kids/co-parenting. And then there’s dating, new partners, new options… but most importantly, how you can stop the cycle of unfulfilling relationships.
In this thought-provoking and irreverent session, relationship expert and international bestselling author of The Problem with Women… Is Men Charles J. Orlando digs into divorce issues with snarky hilarity. Charles has connected with hundreds of thousands of women and a fair share of men about their challenges in relationships. And what he’s discovered can help you understand why your marriage failed and what you can do moving forward to make sure you don’t drop the ball when the real Mr. or Ms. Right comes along. You’ll walk away from Charles’ riveting presentation knowing:
• The most-common red flags that lead to divorce—beyond the obvious “He or she was an asshole.”
• The three things women and men do to contribute to a failed relationship. Yes, we all have contributions.
• How to identify and own your contributions to divorce without feeling like a “failure.” (It’s not your “fault,” but we all have accountability.)
• Some important mistakes to avoid when you’re getting on with dating, mating, and relating to someone new. These are common mistakes and chances are good you’re making at least one of them—and it’s sabotaging your chance at finding a new love.
Charles J. Orlando is a relationship expert and social inspirationalist best known as the author of the acclaimed relationship book series The Problem with Women… is Men. He is the sole voice behind the smash-hit advice and relationship page The Problem with Women… is Men on Facebook.
According to John Gray, Ph.D., Author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, “Charles’s insight into modern relationships is remarkable, and it’s all based on his research, his experience, and his real-world relationship laboratory on Facebook.” Charles offers real-world relationship advice and guidance, steering clear of techniques that sound good in a clinical book/setting, but are nearly impossible to apply when you throw in the organic reality of life (kids, bills, jobs, etc.).
Charles is an active member of Mensa (“the High IQ Society”), is a contributing writer to a variety of online and print publications, and is regularly tapped by the media—including Self, Men’s Health, and Shape—for his relationship and marriage expertise.

Divorce—The Start of Something Good!
How to Stop Subconscious Fear and Resentment from Sabotaging Your Chance at Finding True Love
As your marriage comes to its conclusion, your priority is not allowing the end of one event to destroy another—your future. By holding on to painful feelings, resentment and fear, you subject yourself to an emotional prison sentence leading you to spend the rest of your life stuck in the painful unproductive past. But often we just don’t know how to let go of those negative feelings. Sometimes, we’re not even aware that our resentment and fear shows through—on a date with a new potential partner for example—and that it’s pushing people away, not to mention dragging you down.
Theodore Henderson will show you simple strategies to resist and defeat these negative feelings by working through the process in a proactive way. Having the right strategies on your side will transform divorce from being an unscalable wall into a road to a new beginning. After listening to Theodore, you’ll know how to thrive after divorce—not just survive! The result? A better you who is ready for a new life and love. You’ll learn how to be so positive and upbeat that you naturally draw helpful people to you—not to mention some high-quality dates, too.
Theodore will show you how to:
• Take full responsibility. Doing this one thing will help your next relationship thrive. It will prevent arguments. And it will help you go through life feeling more peaceful and less stressed.
• Not die with the marriage. You’ll discover how to feel whole again now that you’re not part of a couple.
• Realize that hope is not a strategy—forgiveness is.
• Use easy ways to motivate yourself to exercise and keep yourself healthy.
• Get yourself ready for a new relationship—and how to be excited and happy at the thought of dating again.
A lifelong New Yorker, Theodore is the best selling author of The Wisdom Compass: an easy, 31-day system for total life transformation and attracting massive success in ALL areas of your life. He is a certified career advisor and a Distinguished Toastmaster. Find out more about Theodore at

Reinventing Your Career After Divorce
Are you as unhappy with your job or career as you were with your marriage? Maybe your job simply isn’t your passion, your true calling in life. Have you always wanted to change careers and do something else? Maybe you’ve hit a ceiling and are frustrated by a stalled career. After your divorce, you’re likely re-evaluating all areas of your life. In fact, divorce can actually motivate you to finally pursue your career goals and dreams. After all, if you’re unhappy in your job, it can often put stress on your romantic relationship.
If you want to break free of the career you hate and begin a job you love, Theodore Henderson will use The Intelligent Career Manager series to lay out successful strategies to keep your career moving forward according to your vision rather than someone else’s.
When you leave Theodore’s presentation, you will:
• Know whether the time is right for you to switch careers or jobs.
• Know how to embrace the new economic realities and overcome your fear that there just aren’t any jobs out there.
• Discover new strategies to interact with sharper more focused employers rather than let doom and gloom headlines get you down.
• Have a true understanding of how to target the right career, change careers, and plan your career.
As a best selling author and the creator of The Intelligent Career Manager
audio and action guide series, Theodore works with both individuals and businesses to help them become more successful. For more information about his career and business coaching, visit www.TheodoreHenderson.com.

Stop Beating Yourself Up and Wondering If You’re Doing the Right Thing for Your Kids! 4 Magic Questions to Get Your Child to Behave Better and Cooperate with Your Every Request
Divorce can take a huge toll on your children. Your kids may show immediate signs of being affected by the divorce or the effects might not show up until months or even years later. If you worry about how your kids are handling your divorce or notice signs they’re angry, misbehaving, feeling sad, or struggling with their own new post-divorce life then Barbara Smailey, Ph.D. can help you know exactly what to do to help your kids thrive.
In her presentation, Dr. Smailey will shatter one child behavior myth—that you should treat your children as you’d like to be treated. This is one of the worst things you can do, she says, because your unique core personality needs may differ drastically from each of your children’s core needs. Knowing your child’s true needs will make the difference between him or her feeling abandoned, unloved and fearful or being heard, understood and loved.
In Dr. Smailey’s presentation, you’ll discover how to:
• Support and empower your kids according to their unique needs. This is a powerful way to transform them from grumbling little gremlins focused on negativity to positive and happy kids who will thrive after a divorce.
• Stop beating yourself up, wondering if you’re doing the right thing for your kids.
• Stop worrying about your former spouse’s parenting style when he or she is spending time with the kids. You’ll discover how to fortify yourself and your children by knowing how to maintain your focus on being the parent you want to be, no matter what your kids or anyone else says or does.
• Get your kids to cooperate with your requests by discovering how to share openly and honestly according to each child’s unique needs. This will bring more fun and cooperation back into your life.
You will leave Dr. Smailey’s presentation with immediate, put-to-use, “How Tos” for helping your children recover from divorce while bringing fun and mutual support back into your family life.
Dr. Smailey has worked with parents and teachers, school administrators, and counselors for more than 25 years, helping them see through the eyes of a child and learning how to maximize children’s excitement about learning and feeling good about themselves and others. Dr. Smailey has taught teacher continuing education courses for six colleges and universities, and has worked with thousands of parents and teachers around the U.S. and Canada presenting at conferences, district-wide teacher inservices and parent workshops.

Reconnecting to What Makes You Happy

It’s a great opportunity to chart a much happier course for your life post-divorce.

• What golden nuggets your marriage—and its dissolution—reveal about who you really are.
• How to shed light on what makes your heart sing beneath the temporary veil of grief and pain.

Easy and Effective Ways to Help Your Child Survive and Thrive After Divorce
One of the most difficult aspects of divorce is seeing the way it affects your children. Our kids are like little emotion-radars who can pick up on our moods. If you’re unhappy, depressed, or angry your kids will sense it and absorb your negative feelings.
Leslie Petruk will introduce you to some of the most effective strategies you’ll ever find to deal with the parenting challenges that arise when going through a separation/divorce. These strategies will require so much less energy than other methods you may have used and are far more successful.
She’ll show you how to:
• Talk to your children about divorce in a calm way and answer even their most difficult questions.
• Help your children truly know that nothing they did caused the divorce.
• Understand and connect with your child in a way you’ve never connected before, a way that will allow him or her to open up to you. This method will help you strengthen your relationship—even with difficult teenagers.
• Learn how to better understand your child and interpret their behaviors and what they are telling you.
• Develop peace of mind by dealing with your own fears and emotions related to the impact of divorce on your child as well as the turbulent emotions and awkwardness you feel about dealing with your ex-spouse.
Leslie Petruk, MA, LPC, NCC, BCC is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified Coach who has been helping children and families for more than 15 years. She is the Founder and Director of SteppingStones Counseling and Consulting in Charlotte, North Carolina and the creator of “4Kids Sake Parenting Programs” and “Leadership For Working Mothers.” Her parenting website OMG!
