What CDS® Professionals Are Saying...

"I often weigh decisions in terms of 'investment & return.' If it's a financial investment, I seek a return on my money. If it's an investment of time, I desire a sense of accomplishment. In this case, the decision to 'invest' both money & time in the Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS) training has been one of my best by far! The 'return' from the training has already started to pay off! I've been able to add new techniques & more specific information to my divorce consulting practice! I highly recommend the training!"

"I highly recommend the Certified Divorce Specialist training for new as well as established professionals whose mission is to help clients have a successful outcome in divorce. The training Liz Becker provided was instrumental in my development and success as a Divorce Coach focused on families with children with disabilities, to better help them through the complexities of Special Needs Divorce."

"When you're working with a divorcing client, it is not only critical that you understand the ins and outs of divorce, but that you pay as much importance to their emotional needs and ability to process heavy information at a very vulnerable time. Very rarely do you find a program that combines both aspects, and the CDS training does just that. From best divorce practices to learning how to connect and communicate effectively, this training gave me the tools to feel even more confident in working with divorcing clients, and if I'm being honest, in my personal relationships as well."

"I loved spending two days with Liz and her team. I was pleasantly surprised by how many NLP techniques were featured in the training. The skills I learned are a fantastic addition to my client sessions but also, on a personal level, can be used in everyday life. Liz's energy and passion for the topics are infectious and kept me engaged for the full two days."
