May 1 workshop:
Fair Play for the Overwhelmed
Does implementing the Fair Play system in your household feel like "too much"?
This workshop cuts through the overwhelm and provides modifications to the Fair Play system that you can start using today.
Fair Play is complicated!
Managing a household with a partner is tough even on good days.
The Fair Play system is a godsend, but implementing the system can be complicated too!
And if you have ADHD
Conflicting schedules with your partner
Complex family medical needs
And/or
Difficulty managing the day-to-day as it is
The system can seem impossible.
In this workshop, you will learn Fair Play modification strategies to help you create a more equitable division of labor in your home right away -- even if life has felt too overwhelming already.
You will learn how to:
01
Slow down the process
Learn hacks and workarounds that slow down the Fair Play process in order to build trust and accountability, and counterintuitively speed up results.
02
Leverage your strengths
Your partner taking on cooking for the family is not the same as them taking on all school communication, which is not the same as them buying all the birthday presents.
Learn what you and your partner should delegate *first* to gain momentum.
03
Stop avoiding feedback to your partner
After reading Fair Play, did you try to institute a "house meeting" with your partner every week, but found yourself cancelling it every time?
Learn how to set yourself up for success in giving and receiving feedback from your partner, instead of avoiding it.
Why am I offering this workshop?
Hi, I'm May (pronounced "My"), and I'm a Leadership Coach and Certified Fair Play Facilitator.
As part of a neurodivergent couple who became a Fair Play family in 2019, I've adapted the Fair Play method in my own partnership to work with my husband's and my difficulties with executive function and day-to-day motivation.
After becoming a Fair Play Facilitator in 2021 and coaching countless individuals and couples on creating an equitable home life, I've "seen it all" when it comes to couples getting derailed from implementing Fair Play.
Through this work, as well as my 7 years as a leadership coach, I've collected a strong arsenal of techniques to help couples who feel "all over the place" (like I do!) implement Fair Play and create an equitable division of labor in their home. I now want to share this learning with you.
