Presented by: Marlene Boas, Ph.D. in Family Psychology and Board Certified Coach
Family is the most basic social unit. It is where we first learn to love, share, play and cultivate our values. The majority of people would respond that "family" is one of the most important things in their lives and yet how much time and energy are spent maintaining the delicate inner workings of the family? The challenges of parenting, and creating strong, loving families are more complex now than ever before. It's a tough job, and just when you think you have it under control, things change and new challenges emerge. In this introductory workshop to Family Coaching, we'll identify the strengths of your family and explore how you can bring more harmony and happiness into your home.

Since the industrial revolution, the geopolitics of energy have been a key factor in global prosperity and security. Each shift in global energy patterns has ushered in changes in international politics. With the ever-growing global thirst for energy, the nexus between international security, politics, and energy is as important as ever.

Transportation systems – particularly in the United States – have become largely reliant on oil, so disruption of oil markets can bring a great power to a standstill. Access to energy is critical to sustaining growth in emerging economies such as China and India – not only to lift millions out of poverty, but to keep pace with burgeoning populations. Failure to deliver on the hope of greater prosperity could unravel even authoritarian regimes, and even more so democratic ones, as populations become more educated and demanding.

How do countries shape their grand strategies to meet their energy needs? What are the consequences of a shift away from petroleum-based energy markets? And, will a new energy order alter global politics in fundamental ways? Managing the transition to a new energy future will be one of the greatest challenges that the global community will face in the coming decades.
