TESTIMONIALS

I had the pleasure of meeting Gabrielle during her “Secret Sauce” live course. She is such an innovative, creative professional full of inspiring ideas on how to – not only grow a practice – but reinvent a career that brings peace to you AND your clients. I recommend Gabrielle Hartley and her Better Apart Method to divorce professionals and those considering or already navigating the divorce process.

J. A. R.

Gabrielle Hartley helped me to find clarity and with her teachings, I was able to shift my career into a more positive experience. Now, I am looking forward to my future as a family law practitioner and a strong believer in the “better apart” method of Gabrielle Hartley.

I do not have enough words to thank her and to express what a great investment this course was for my career. I am looking forward to the next course she had to offer!

V. P.

“Gabrielle gave me great tips and talking points to use with clients that are really helpful to manage expectations. She also provides a tool box and an easy to convert checklist for keeping your client’s case on track. This applies to whether I am doing mediation, consulting, or full representation.”

Chelsea Pagan
Attorney, Mediator

As a divorce professional passionate about changing the way individuals experience divorce, The Better Apart Method Basic Certification is a welcome addition to my tool box. Some of the benefits of the program include the opportunity to connect with other positive minded divorce professionals, get expert tips for handling difficult cases, and gain insight into the divorce process from a seasoned professional. Gabrielle offers three levels of divorce coaching. If you are looking for business building tips, Gabrielle also offers a 1 hour masterclass where she shares her secrets for attracting your dream clients.

S. F.

A leader of the positive divorce movement. The Better Apart Certification has helped me grow my client base and given me the tools necessary to help my existing clients in new ways.

P. D.

I just completed a course with Gabrielle where I learned the ins and outs of her Better Apart method and I could not be more satisfied. Gabrielle is incredibly knowledgeable and detail oriented, and she has a wonderful teaching style. The course is interactive and collaborative and I feel like a whole new set of tools has become available to me to use in my mediation practice. This course will provide you with a detailed framework for getting the most out of your mediation sessions with your clients. Whether you are new to mediation or a seasoned professional, you will benefit from Gabrielle’s many tips about how to handle potential stumbling blocks and difficult topics. If you haven’t read Gabrielle’s book, Better Apart, do yourself a favor and pick it up and then take the Better Apart method class. You won’t be disappointed.

Business Development for Mediators

As part of the Total Practice Makeover™ and Certification for mediators, we will integrate business development conversations to help you begin to create the business that is perfect for you.

Clarify Your Goals

Only you define your personal success. We will address:

  • Your ideal client:  Why do you want to serve?

  • Methods:  What is the best delivery model for you and your client?

  • Your Lifestyle:  How does your practice fit into your work and lifestyle?

  • Increase revenue

Spark Your Commitment

When you get clear on your goals, you are ready to dive deeper into your vision and commitment to your divorce coaching practice.  We will talk about:

  • Methods for attracting the “just right client.”  Who can you help to both “survive and thrive” through and beyond divorce?

  • Engagement:  How are you going to invite others to understand divorce coaching and send clients to you?

  • Confidence: The greater clarity in how you can actually powerfully help people to move through and beyond divorce the greater confidence you will have in your practice. Learn simple ways to motivate professionals to refer clients to you.
