SKILL THEORY COURSES

As an adult, learning about relational skills for the first time can sound foreign. Yet, the concepts are likely ones you know a little about, even if you don’t realize it. Learning more about the theory behind the skills will help educate you on gaps you may have and better highlight what skills need more practice.

Why skill theory?​

We teach the theory behind the relational skills to help you better understand how your brain is designed as well as the science behind the skills we train. Most of the theory courses contain and little bit of practice to get you started.

Learning skill theory will enable you to better:

  1. Understand why relational skills are needed.
  2. Recognize skills in real life. 
  3. Identify missing or undeveloped skills that need attention.

All of this will position you to gain the most out of the skill practices!

Courses that focus on theory

This course focuses on the 5 core skills to help you grow your capacity and build muscle mass relationally, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

The Foundational 5 Introductory Course will give you a road map for how to get started in growing your capacity and identifying the skills you need to thrive in your life and relationships. But we have to do more than just read about these skills – we have to practice them so they become habits. Simple videos from Chris Coursey and 10 practice exercises are included to get you started.

These 5 theory courses belong to each of the foundational 5 skills. Perfect for anyone who wants to take a closer look at one of these 5 skills. Including:

  • Teaching: With a focus on the brain-science theory so you better understand why the skill is important and can identify it in your own life.
  • Practice: A few simple exercises provide a jumpstart to strengthen the skill so you can grow.
