With the insight and wisdom of their 30-year marriage, their business partnership, and combined 40 years as marriage therapists, Phil and Sue Robison bring their clients the knowledge and skills to create a synergistic blending of their work and personal lives.

For business couples:

The Robisons' expertise as researchers, therapists, and business owners show how to make the business couple lifestyle choice profitable, productive, and fun

You are a business couple if you:

• Own a business together as couple entrepreneurs;
• Own a business as a sole proprietor and a staff spouse;
• Share an office which houses different businesses;
• Own a franchise;
• Own property, real estate, or investments together;
• Work in the same field;
• Work in different fields but advise and support each other's career development.

CoupleBiz provides seminars, keynotes, and one-on-two business consultations designed for couples who want to:

• Work less while maximizing the synergy of prosperous work and extraordinary marriages;
• Add pleasure, leisure, and relationship time through life planning and decision skills for both the business and the personal relationships;
• Quickly negotiate the inevitable conflicts of working and living with a partner while preventing stress spillover from the business to the marriage and from the marriage to the business;
• Decrease role confusion and needless power struggles by communicating with clarity and understanding;
• Work and play from a sense of shared vision while maintaining individuality.

Your work success and relationship satisfaction can nourish or compete with each other. Business couples apply a magnifying glass to their relationships. There they see the agony and the ecstasy, the worst and the best, of both their marriage and business relationships.

As the only husband-wife psychologist team consulting to business couples, the Drs. Robison are dynamic presenters who offer practical, research-driven, and concrete solutions to the special challenges of couples who are partners in both work and love. Phil and Susan provide individual consultations, talks/seminars, and learning resources such as tapes, articles, manuals and a website. Their seminars and consultations combine their research on Extraordinary Marriages with humorous examples and practical advice to show couples how to work better together. Through practical accountability tools from their CoupleBiz Life Management System such as the Marital Sit-down and the Task Tracking System, clients learn to manage conflict and to clarify role expectations.
