Former Psychotherapist Turns her Attention to Helping Business Partners Work it Out

Online, May 26, 2010 (Newswire.com) - As a former psychotherapist and relationships expert, Dr. Dorene Lehavi knows what makes a business partnership become a profitable, successful venture. Dr. Lehavi also knows the proven steps that must be taken to resolve conflicts and disputes, before they become destructive.

As anyone who has ever been in a business partnership knows, it is very similar to a marriage. With an alarming 70% of business partnerships failing in the first few years, Dr. Lehavi turned her attention to those in business partnerships to try and help them beat those odds.

In a time when the job market is still a very uncertain one, many people begin their own businesses and feel that taking on a partner will increase their chances of success. Some of the advantages of having a business partner are having someone else's strengths to build on and more financial options,(OMIT among many other things). The difficulties arise when entrepreneurs ignore the many things to be considered and "ironed out" before taking the plunge. That is where Dr. Lehavi helps so many people with her expertise.
Dr. Lehavi's experience with business partnerships is far from just academic though. Says Dr. Lehavi "I was exposed to business partnerships from birth. One of them was a successful plumbing supply business owned by my grandfather and great uncle. I saw them interact warmly at family gatherings, however, even as a child, my intuition told me that things could be fixed to make the partnership relationship more successful. I knew one partner, my Grandfather to be soft spoken about things that annoyed him and his partner, my Great Uncle, on the other hand, was much more outspoken and aggressive. I now realize, that if they had a coach to help them have the difficult conversations, how much more lucrative their business could have been. In doing the work I do now I hope to help as many people as possible get the most out of their business partnerships".

An accomplished speaker and author, Dr. Lehavi has written several books on the subject of establishing healthy and successful business partnerships including the popular "What If Scenario's" handbook, that has been called a "must-have" for those entering into business partnerships - or thinking about entering into them. In addition to her exclusive private coaching programs, Dr. Lehavi has other home-study workbooks available and a resource-filled Business Partnership Blueprint Package.
