Date from Strength
Twelve Week Dating Intensive
Time for a Change
If we’re honest, we’ll admit that sometimes dating does not bring out the best in us.
From the first date to the first real relationship challenge, we may find ourselves behaving in ways we’re not entirely proud of. Whether we twist ourselves into a pretzel, or question our value, or misrepresent our beliefs, or manipulate others, or betray our ideals, or we’re uncharacteristically guarded and defensive…we’re left scratching our heads about the woman in the mirror.
Listen…we’re smart, beautiful, loving women. But no one ever drew us a map to dating and relationship success and satisfaction.
You’ve heard it before – loving yourself exactly as you are is the first step to loving and being loved by another. But how does one go about that? What does that really mean?
What if you had a completely accessible, completely practical way to learn to express your best self, even in that potentially elusive environment known as dating?
Benefits of Date from Strength
Know your strengths
You get more mileage out of investing in your strengths than focusing on your weaknesses. Think of it as becoming more of who you are than trying to become who you are not. Imagine the freedom of navigating the world, including dating, in ways that naturally energize and satisfy you.
Increase Your Confidence
Discovering your strengths allows you to be more of yourself in all the areas of your life that are important to you, including romantic partnership. Imagine the confidence that comes from recognizing your unique gifts, from knowing what you need to succeed and feel satisfied, from the ability to see others more clearly.
Meet New People
It is true that dating is a numbers game. Online dating is effective if you know how to navigate it. However, there are many additional creative ways to meet people. Reduce the anxiety around meeting new people by reaching out in ways that feel natural to you.
Expand your compassion
When you can see the lens through which you see the world; when you recognize the uniqueness of your lens; and when you genuinely appreciate that uniqueness in others, you may find yourself experiencing greater curiosity, openness and compassion for your date. When you really see people, a different type of connection happens.
Fall in love more easily
When you really see people, when you know what your needs are and you’re confident in your ability to get them met, when you’re open to discovery rather than searching for items on a list, connection happens naturally. Imagine flowing in the direction of the river rather than trying to push against it.
Build powerful partnerships
Focusing on your own strengths and recognizing strengths in others creates the potential for building powerful partnerships. Empowering your combined strengths can make your weaknesses irrelevant and set you both up to navigate your future successfully together.
What Our Customers Are Saying
Don’t just take it from us, let our customers do the talking!
“I keep wanting to ask how you know what I’m thinking without me even saying it. And then I answer my own question…it’s just what you do. It’s amazing how you hear even what I don’t say.”
E. A.I want what she has… I was referred to Tanya Finks by a friend who is fun and full of life. She just raved about Tanya. I was ready to find the relationship of my dreams – romantic, committed, passionate, with a smart, interesting, handsome man who is a dad, etc… I thought I knew what I wanted and somehow had not been actually choosing that. Maybe Tanya could help me do that. I called her. Tanya has a step by step coaching technique that for me was like dating and having an angel on my shoulder or my best friend in my purse. On our phone calls she asked questions, I asked questions and I got ideas and homework. I got clearer about what I was looking for and I went out dating. What I saw as I worked with Tanya is that however the date went was OK. I had the freedom to just get to know a person and not worry about “is he the one”. I got to notice what I really enjoyed about men and what I thought I did not mind but actually did not like at all. One of my favorite things that Tanya said to me that I still hear even now having found that incredible relationship of my dreams is “enjoy him enjoying you….”. I recommend Tanya for support and coaching in dating and in finding the relationship you have always wanted. She is fun and insightful and will have you enjoy the journey!
Louise“This whole subject is so challenging for me and I sometimes worry that I’m your most frustrating client. But you have such a generous spirit, and I appreciate that you’ve signed up for the long haul. Thank you so much.”
T. C.“Tanya is truly an inspirational and positive person who was able to help me see relationships in a new and positive way. I am a 40 year old divorced single mom who was ready to give up on being in a relationship. My marriage failed and I had a few failed relationships after my divorce. I realized that I needed to change the way I looked at men and relationships if I ever wanted to be in one again. Tanya was able to help me with that. She really took the time to talk to me and find out what I thought and believed and helped me see things from a different perspective. She helped me realize that I have what it takes and that there is someone out there who is going to love me for who I am and that I don’t need to try to change who I am. She also helped reiterate something that I knew was true but didn’t want to admit. I was stuck in an old pattern of having a “type” and focusing on being physically attracted to someone and putting that at the top of the list. My wise grandfather used to say “All that glitters is not gold.” Tanya helped me realize that when we take the time to get to know someone and open ourselves up to the possibility of seeing things in a new and different way it can open up doors we thought were closed for us. One of my favorite quotes from “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint Exupery sums this up: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” Thanks to Tanya I was able to see with my heart what had been invisible to my eyes. Within the first month of working with Tanya I started dating someone that was not “my type” and am now in a fulfilling relationship. I highly recommend working with Tanya. She is truly a wonderful coach!”
