Working With Blended Families: What You Need To Know

This presentation focuses on the specific challenges faced by blended families and the groups/people that work with them. It touches on ethical and legal issues that workers should be aware of (though it does NOT offer any type of legal advice, as I’m not an attorney) as well as suggestions for how to respond to various challenges.

Endorsements

“I contacted Joel when my boyfriend and I were really struggling with one particular issue we couldn’t seem to get through concerning the kids. Joel took the time to find out the history of what was going on and offered many great suggestions to try and so much encouragement to keep working on what sounded like a fixable issue. His knowledge on the subject of blended family life and step-parenting is so relevant because of his own experiences with his family. He’s recommended things that we haven’t thought about trying and to our benefit, they’ve worked! We know this won’t be easy, but so worth it! With people like Joel In our corner, I believe it will work out beautifully!”

“Joel was a real encouragement to me when my wife and I were struggling. He gave me real insight into what I could do to make my wife feel more secure in our marriage and steps to prevent situations that could cause further insecurities between us. His Godly advice played a key role in the strengthening of our relationship!”

“Joel and his teaching have helped guide our family in the direction we needed. I am appreciative of the information and experience he and his family bring to the table and will use this as we continue our blended journey. Thanks!”

“As soon as Joel finished, several members of my group asked me if he could come and speak again at another event we had going on later that evening!”

“Joel came and spoke to our Lambda Sigma Sophomore Honor Society here at JSU, and he was amazing! Throughout the presentation, he was funny, inspirational, and gave our students specific ways to improve their leadership both now and in the future. I would strongly recommend him to come and speak at other colleges and universities!”

“My students raved about his presentation last year, and cited it as one of the most memorable classes of the semester! I am excited for this year’s freshmen to hear his inspirational talk as well.”

“Joel spoke at our Bosses Bussing Tables fundraiser event for the Community Enabler in Anniston, and he was amazing! He arrived early, met many of our servers and organizers, and was extremely easy to work with. He was also a great speaker: he was funny, inspirational, and gave the audience specific ways to improve their leadership. I would strongly recommend him to come and speak to your business or organization!”

“Joel was selected as a guest speaker by student organizers who had heard his message last year. His presentation resonated with all the attendees to include invited guests. He challenged them to do their best, to step outside of their comfort zone, to take risks, and to stand up for what they believe. He will be invited to speak again at next year’s conference.”

“After I heard Mr. Hawbaker speak at a Rotary luncheon, I knew I wanted him to come and work with our students to help them understand their roles as potential leaders on campus. When he came, I was not disappointed: our students loved his presentation, and his interaction with them kept them engaged throughout both sessions. We would love to make Mr. Hawbaker’s presentation an annual event for our students here.”

“Joel is a very dependable, professional speaker. He was very successful in communicating our objectives, while his colorful speaking style captured the attention of the audience throughout. We highly recommend him for your events concerning leadership topics.”
