How can you adjust your communication strategies for modern employees?
While most of Dr. Coleman’s research and publications explore estrangement, at the heart of his studies is effective communication through new societal changes. More specifically, he looks at how we’ve arrived at today’s landscape.
For corporations, we see this change in a new era of employees who don’t buy into company culture and team mentality like previous generations. While organizations want people back in the office, united as a team, and working together, that can’t happen until you understand why employees are resisting it. Once you do, discourse becomes easier. In this keynote, Joshua Coleman, Ph.D. helps corporations, and the people that constitute them, better communicate in modern society.
While many parents want their child to be their best friend, nothing compels today’s adult children to stay in contact with a parent beyond an internal desire to maintain that relationship.
Even if parents aren’t estranged from their children, they still have to navigate a new territory previous parents didn’t. The framework that guided families for millennia…is gone. Today’s parents want a closer relationship with their children but have less authority, don’t have the same tools for engagement, and need to understand the therapeutic language their children have been brought up around.
For many parents, if their adult child doesn’t want to be close or spend time with them, many problems can arise.
People aged 55 to 60 are divorcing more than anyone. These divorces can result in division and estrangement between parents and adult children.
Divorce in general often creates a fundamental reshaping of alliances, which can place parents at risk for greater distance from their children. Additionally, it creates the opportunity for parental alienation where one parent consciously or unconsciously turns their child against the other parent. Both of which become more complex with adult children.
In this keynote, Joshua Coleman, Ph.D. will explain how to best approach your mid-life split, conflict resolution with children, and post-divorce life.
Joshua Coleman, Ph.D. is a great choice for wellness retreats. At these events, Dr. Coleman can talk to attendees about the best approach to maintaining marriages, handling divorce, resolving estrangement, managing mental illness in the family, and any other topics that can help attendees alleviate some of the weight on their shoulders.

Has your adult child cut off contact with you?
How can you heal the pain and start to build a bridge back to them?
Labelled a silent epidemic by a growing number of therapists and researchers, estrangement is one of the most disorienting and painful experiences of a parent's life. Popular opinion typically tells a one-sided story of parents who got what they deserved or overly entitled adult children who wrongly blame their parents. However, the reasons for alienation are far more complex and varied. As a result of rising rates of individualism, an increasing cultural emphasis on happiness, growing economic insecurity, and a historically recent perception that parents are obstacles to personal growth, many parents find themselves forever shut out of the lives of their adult children and grandchildren.
This unique book helps parents work through the pain, shame, and sense of loss that they feel when their relationship with their older or adult children has not turned out as they hoped or expected
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we lose the opportunity to be the parent we desperately want to be and must mourn the loss of a harmonious relationship with our child. Although this situation may seem hopeless, When Parents Hurt is designed to help us through this intensely difficult situation with compassion and thoughtfulness.
