Charis Workshop
Communication, Teaching, and Coaching
Saturday, March 21, 2015
9 a.m. – 6 p.m.


At LifeSong Midwifery in North Port, Florida

For childbirth educators, doulas, midwives, or anyone who would like to improve their ability to communicate with and educate expectant families.

At our workshops, learning is interactive, hands-on, fun, and interesting. All Charis workshops are taught from a Christian perspective, giving God the glory for His marvelous creation and how He so wonderfully created women to bear children.

You will spend the day making new friends and becoming more skilled in preparing effective introductions, asking powerful questions, creating a learner friendly environment, capturing the attention of learners, helping clients embrace their responsibility of making informed decisions, and so much more.

In addition to the valuable skills acquired at the workshop, you will also take home with you an assortment of visual aids and other valuable teaching tools to enhance your future students’ learning experience.

A delicious lunch will be provided for all the workshop attendees to enjoy as you get to know each other better during a midday break.

Registration is full
Stay tuned for an exciting newsletter coverage next month!

Our Director's Heart


Kristin Schuchmann
 

We’re gearing up for the next workshop that will be held on March 21 and I’m super excited about the time I get to spend with some of the Charis students. I’m not exaggerating when I say that the Charis students are some of the most amazing people I know.  Each one has answered a call and each calling is unique. Some have been called to leave their homeland and serve in a foreign land, some are called to serve those in a crisis pregnancy, some are called to serve expectant families in their hometowns, and all are doing incredible work.

There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff going on in the Charis office these days and we will be making some exciting announcements in the coming months. Please cover our staff in prayer as the groundwork is laid for this next season. Wonderful things are gestating!

Blessings,
Kristin Schuchmann, CPM, LM
