TITLE: “”Family IQ – Changing the World One Family at a Time”
SPECIAL GUEST: Mark Hobbins
Allen and Dr. Melody are joined by Mark Hobbins to discuss FamilyIQ, an innovative organization that has developed a revolutionary assessment test designed to produce awareness, knowledge and skills in nine critical areas of healthy family functioning. The number that results from this assessment is designated as a FamilyIQ. Based upon responses to the FamilyIQ assessment test, a personalized learning plan is automatically generated to provide a simple-to-follow path that is both educational and fun. As families progress through their learning plan, they receive customized suggestions under each of the test components that will provide a higher level of skill and understanding and help them to achieve greater happiness, unity, and order within your family.
