Rita Homrich, author, radio personality and international workshop presenter is a graduate of Barry University in Miami, Florida. Rita is know as an iconoclast in her field, where she deals with people's belief systems and offers them a brand new way of living. Rita depicts just that message in her book, Parents Wake Up: How to regain control of the family. Rita teaches parenting, corporate and personal growth seminars in both the US and Israel.

Dr. Geoffrey Weisbaum is a pathologist in the South Florida area and teaches personal development seminars internationally. It was due to his dedicated efforts to personal growth that Personal Development Center was founded in the mid 1980s. Recently Rita and Geoff have become partners in expanding their center to the California area.

For more than 15 years, Rita and Geoff have enriched the lives of their workshop participants in an intensive personal growth experience entitled, TLC-The Living Course. Students learn how to recreate their circles of belief and manifest successful results in their lives. A new understanding of "how to" divert stress causing problems by communicating feelings which build self-esteem while enhancing motivation is their motto.

Students learn in their corporate course, Latitude, Longitude…Discovering your greater margin, how to reduce stress in the workplace by creating a work environment where management and staff encourage each other, listen to each other, and learn how to solve conflicts in a way that everyone wins! Learning about Headship tools creates great leadership because it results in a team dedicated to their company's organization goals, which provides increased productivity.

Much of the information taught by Homrich and Weisbaum is a very systematic, logical way to create a better understanding of ourselves and others.

Rudolf Dreikurs M.D., author and co-author of several child-rearing and family guides, successfully developed the theory or blueprints. Dreikurs was an eminent child psychiatrist, who maintained a practice in Chicago in the 1960s, while extensively traveling and sharing his theory with millions. His forte was behavior modification; changing one's misguided goals through the power of positive action. Dreikurs, himself, was a protégé of Alfred Adler, the father of behavior modification. German born, Dreikurs brought Adler's teachings to the forefront by originating the first Adler Institute in the United States in the 1960s. He continued Adler's work until Dreikurs' death in 1972.

Geoffrey Weisbaum and Rita Homrich had the opportunity of studying under two protégés of Rudolf Dreikurs, Kath Kvols and Bill Reidler, back in the 1980s. The theories and belief systems incorporated throughout this workbook are the result of their training. The role-play exercises are adapted from the Redirecting Children's Behavior program developed by Kvols and Reidler back in the early 1970s.
In their original program, participants became aware of many insights into their childhood behavior and began asking for extended learning. In the late 1970s, Kvols and Reidler created a personal development workshop designed to assist individuals toward another level of understanding, which Weisbaum and Homrich taught for many years.

The concepts formulated in their seminars have been adapted from the works of many mentors dedicated to the enhancement of personal development in the 20th Century. "The Benefits of Blaming Others," Greg Liber, "Firm and Kind Boundaries," Kath Kvols and Bill Reidler, "The Comfort Zone of Fear," Susan Jeffers, and "The Circle of Belief," Harville Hendrix, are philosophies that have been incorporated into the teachings of Personal Development Center's TLC-The Living Course. We are grateful to them and the co-creation of these concepts. PDC is especially grateful to Barbara Hosler who through her work inspired the development of Homrich and Weisbaum's latest workshop, Latitude, Longitude…Discovering your greater margin.
