Workshops & Programs
Change what happens when the same argument starts.
Most couples do not need another generic communication tip.
They need to understand why the same argument keeps coming back, why one person feels unseen, why the other feels misunderstood, and why two capable people can end up arguing from completely different versions of the same life.
Every format below runs on the Conversation Cores Method. I developed the method through confidential documentation, lived experience, and applied work, then tested it against five established bodies of research on how couples argue. You start by identifying the communication patterns that appear when conflict begins. Then you choose the setting where the work happens: on your own, with your partner, or with a group.
Battles Insights workshops and programs help couples, leadership pairs, and groups get to the real conversation without turning the room into a courtroom drama.
Where to start, by situation
If you want this work brought into a leadership group, conference, retreat, or organization, look at The Business of Us or its 90-minute keynote version.
If you are not yet sure what pattern you are in, take the Conversation Cores Assessment first.
Starts with a free 60-minute session
Starts free
Realignment Lab
Solo · 90-minute sessions · Weekend schedule
A focused session for one person who knows something is off in the relationship but needs help sorting out what is actually happening before trying another conversation that ends the same way as the last one.
The Lab starts free: one 60-minute session, and you will work in it, not sit through a pitch. If the work needs more room, the full Lab continues across three 90-minute weekend sessions.
You leave with a clear account of the pattern you have been in, the move you keep making, and what to do differently before the next conversation starts.
Free to start. Full Lab: $297 across three 90-minute weekend sessions.

6-Week Intensive for couples
The Fight That Keeps Coming Back
Remote · 6 weeks · Couples
This is for couples who are tired of treating the same fight like a brand-new emergency every time it comes back.
We help you trace where the argument starts, name what each person thinks is happening, and build operating rules for what you do next. Not theory dressed up as advice. Not therapy. Not a personality test with better lighting.
A structured communication intensive for couples who want to stop repeating the same fight without pretending the fight came from nowhere.
Weeks 1 to 2: Recognize. Find where the fight originally started, not just the topic that brought it back this time.
Weeks 3 to 4: Recalibrate. Map the pressure points — time, money, invisible roles, and the quiet scorecards couples keep even when they swear they do not.
Weeks 5 to 6: Realign. Build operating rules for what happens next, so the same fight stops finding you every week.
$1,950 — or three payments of $675.

6-Month Program for couples
The Conversations That Change the Pattern
Remote · 6 months · Couples
For couples who want to go deeper than a single intensive and build a lasting shift in how they communicate under pressure.
This is sustained work, across six months, with the same structure as the six-week intensive but more room for the pattern to actually move. The recurring argument does not get resolved in a single session. This program gives it the time it actually needs.
You will leave with a shared language for what has been happening, operating rules you have both tested, and a clearer map of what to do the next time the same moment shows up — because it will, and you will be ready for it.
$3,900 — or $675 monthly for six months.

Full-day workshop for leadership pairs and teams
The Business of Us
Full-day · In-person or remote · Leadership pairs, co-founders, executive teams
Jake and I co-facilitate this one together, because the proof of concept is the marriage itself. We are the data. The same dynamic that breaks down between a couple at home breaks down between a founder and their co-founder, between an executive and their second-in-command, between any two people who are running something together and have stopped seeing the same problem at the same time.
The Business of Us brings the Conversation Cores Method into the leadership room. Participants identify their primary and backup Conversation Cores, map their communication patterns under pressure, and build operating rules for what happens the next time the same decision goes sideways.
This is not a team-building exercise. It is structured work for people who have a real problem and a real working relationship that matters to them.

90-minute keynote
The Argument Is Never Just About the Argument
90 minutes · Conferences, retreats, leadership events
The keynote version of The Business of Us. Built for conferences, leadership retreats, and organizational events where the audience is a room of people who each have a working relationship, a partnership, or a household that keeps breaking the same way.
In 90 minutes, the room learns how primary and backup Conversation Cores shape communication under pressure, how two people’s patterns affect each other, and what to do differently before the same argument takes another week. Jake and I co-present, because the work lands differently when the people teaching it have lived every page of it together.
Ideal for leadership conferences, executive offsites, couples retreats, and any event where communication is the real agenda underneath the official one.

Conversation Cores Assessment
A short assessment that identifies your primary and backup Conversation Cores and gives you a first look at the communication patterns behind the same argument.
16 questions. About 5 minutes. Your result arrives by email. There is nothing to install. Your partner can take it separately and you can compare results.
Where to start
If you are looking at this page and unsure which one fits, the simplest thing is a 15-minute call. We can talk through what has been happening and figure out which format is right for where you actually are.
