Our Story

A lifetime of “normal” conversations often left us feeling disappointed and disconnected from others. Wanting more than a volley of my words-your words-my words, we wanted to know and be known—to feel connected. A simple, practical model emerged that aligns with how our brains and hearts are wired.

Brain Science

Brain science fuels the WAIT tools to help us feel alive, peaceful and connected, making the most of our life experiences–joyful ones and painful ones. Using the WAIT tools replaces the standard ways of talking with new patterns that connect rather than disconnect. Neuroscience tells us that connection is what being human is all about.

Testimonies

I have never experienced a conversation like this in my life (spoken by a young man, with tears in his eyes).

Of all of the topics covered in our week of intensive counseling, the WAIT card was the most impactful.

After our small group shared positive experiences with each other using the WAIT card, I felt I knew my friends more deeply than I had in the 17 years we’d been together.

The WAIT and HARD cards are like a 4-wheel drive added to our marriage to get us over rough, rocky patches. In the midst of pain during a difficult conversation recently, we used the HARD card. Instead of days of bitterness and disconnect, we reconnected and understood one another within 30 minutes! What a game changer to become safe people in a marriage instead of hurt and disconnected people!

I felt the shift as my friend held the WAIT card for me. I processed my heavy emotions with him and realized there was more to my experience than I had realized at first. In the end, I had clarity about what I needed to do moving forward.

When my husband held the WAIT card for me, it was the first time in our 35-year marriage I felt fully seen and heard during a conflict.

Using the Light WAIT column of the WAIT card helped me realize something about myself I had never named before–simply because the listener took the time to ask me a few simple by deeper-layer questions about my pleasant memory.

Learning about the Red Zone helped me notice how normal conversations are so often dead ends. It made me want to know what to say differently–which is exactly what the WAIT card does.

I have never experienced anyone listening to me so well. I want to take a copy of the WAIT card to my therapist to use with me!

The WAIT card, as a communication tool, is going to be a game-changer in our marriage, ministry, and especially our family!
