I’m Shlomo Slatkin, Founder of Slatkin Communications, a division of The Marriage Restoration Project
Toxic couples and toxic workplaces share the same problems.
Poor Communication
Lack of feeling safe
Shame and blame
Defensiveness
Diagnoses run wild
Opposing values
Any others I didn’t mention?
You can’t afford to continue working in an environment that is toxic. But you also can’t just pickup and leave, thinking it will be better somewhere else.
Why’s that?
Because us humans come with baggage! We take that baggage with us into future relationships- be them work relationships or committed relationships.
Whether you’re a founder, CEO, professional, customer, or colleague- you’re going to need to tackle the issues causing the toxic environment at it’s root in order for things to improve there and elsewhere. That starts with some awareness.
Become a Conscious Colleague™
Cleaning out your toxic work environment begins with consciousness.
- More awareness about relationships.
- More awareness of how our brains work.
- More awareness of triggers left over from impactful events.
If you’d like to start enjoying a work environment that is peaceful, productive, connected, and profitable, you’ll want to bring us out to your workplace!

You need to be a good communicator and may not always know how especially with difficult personalities, turnover, or vast diversity in the workplace. We simplify all of that and give you concrete tools for communication so that your employees are more dedicated and innovative, increasing the bottom line as a result.
Team Building and Communication
For any team to successfully work together, it’s crucial to be able to communicate in the most effective way. In a workplace that consists of many personalities, you won’t always see eye-to-eye or think the same way so it’s imperative that you learn how to use each other’s differences as strengths. Strengthening a team takes thought and we’ve got that built in to our offerings.

Improving Employee Productivity & Retention with Communication Training
- Eliminate Win/Lose Thinking
Fostering a group atmosphere of sharing and contributing rather than debating to pick a winner doesn’t always come naturally, but is an important step towards creating a healthier corporate culture. Good communication in the workplace matters. Harvard Business Review cites the 2009 Wyatt study that shows that companies that communicate effectively had a 47% higher return to shareholders over a five-year period (mid-2004 to mid-2009). Companies that talk the way employees want to hear, bosses that do a good job listening, and customers that feel validated and understood are the ones will be more valuable than companies that don’t.
- Assume that all persons are valid and “make sense” before they speak
Anti-thetical to this current age of black/white thinking and divisive politics, knowing that every person comes with their own unique story , that in their world, “they make sense”, whether or not you agree with them, is one of the concepts we impart so that all of your interactions others remain connected and fruitful.
- Respecting others the way you yourself want to be treated and talked to
No one deserves to be shamed or blamed. This can be hard if you weren’t modeled healthy communication previously in your life. We will show you how so it becomes second nature. You can’t effectively work together if there is discord in the company. If communication flows and is open where people feel like they can share and be heard and understood, everyone benefits. Your employees will want to come to work and find ways to contribute because it’s a pleasant place to be! They will be more creative and productive.
- Detoxing negativity, generalizations, and “Master talk”
There’s always someone at the office that assumes “everyone” agrees with them. They can have toxic energy and this needs to be nipped in the bud before it spreads to the rest of the team.
- Validation of others’ point of view
Expressing curiosity, empathy, and validation show another that you truly get them and hear them. These days, employees want to be heard, understood, and valued for a job well done. Good leaders know that, providing a culture of openness and interpersonal relationships will create an environment and culture of trust and the ability to shed dysfunction and the likelihood of people misunderstanding each other, thus providing a true ability to communicate amongst others at every level of the organization.

If you have an audience that needs to hear about communicating with confidence and enjoying more comfortable conversations with coworkers, clients, and customers, in a way that is easy to understand and quick to implement, you’ll find that hiring a relationship expert and marriage therapist specializing in communication makes sense.
After working with thousands of couples over the years and helping to turn their marriages around in two days through the communication process that I teach has always been a passion of mine, and while I’ve always spoken on the topic and been featured in over 50 media outlets, working with clients on effective communication in six continents, I begun to apply these communication processes to businesses and see the same phenomenal results in organizations and corporations.
