through good communication and hard work.

The seminar is interactive and some of the participants will get
the opportunity to share life experiences. For those who prefer a
one-on-one session, arrangements can be made.

Fishleder has been facilitating the seminar for the past four years
and has a master’s degree in counseling with training in counsel-
ing psychology. She has been working as a counselor for Maricopa
County Community Colleges District for ten years.

“I hope participants take away a level of self-awareness so that
they grow on an individual level,” said Fishleder. “I also hope
they leave with a better understanding of how to communicate
effectively.”

To register, email marlene.barrera@gccaz.edu. For those unable
to attend but interested in attending, this seminar is offered twice
a year.
