We can bring PLEDGEtalk to you!!
No doubt you have experienced the complexities of good communication, and especially conflict.
What if there were a “how to” for those critical moments? AND a mentor to show you the way?
Most people do not know what to do when conflict happens. Mark Oelze will train people to use the PLEDGEtalk guide–six steps to disarm conflict and come back to peace.
Mark is available for PLEDGEtalk training:
- in your marriage, family, church, or workplace
- in your church or business, in a small or large group setting
- as a part of YOUR conference, event, seminar, or convention.

PLEDGEtalk for Marriage and Family:

PLEDGEtalk for the Church:
Imagine an entire church communicating in such a way they build each other up “… so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.” Ephesians 4:16b NLT
PLEDGEtalk for the Workplace:
Studies show that the cost of losing/retraining an employee can cost anywhere from 20% to 213% of their salary, depending on their position in the company. Whether on the low end or high, that is staggering! One way to greatly increase employee retention is to enhance communication and conflict resolving abilities throughout the company.

PLEDGEtalk for the Classroom (or Schools):
We are happy to report great progress in writing a PLEDGEtalk children’s book and curriculum for the classroom!
TESTIMONIALS
Lovingly relating in the middle of conflict (and all the time) is perhaps the highest value of a Jesus-revealing life, and the least understood and practical. My friend Mark’s book goes a long way to providing a clear understanding and practical instruction of what it means to actually love. I’ve read none better on the subject!“
DR. LARRY CRABB, Psychologist, Author
“Mark is a gifted counselor, speaker, and teacher… Perhaps his most important teaching is the PLEDGE message, particularly when used as a tool to resolve conflict and enhance the quality of a relationship.”

“One of the things that set the PLEDGEtalk Conference apart from others is the immediate practical application everyone takes home with them. The conference is well-presented, and Mark incorporated helpful hands-on practice. PLEDGEtalk will help many improve their communication.”

“As anyone who has worked in customer service knows, if you do not take the time to listen to the customer, information can be confused or misunderstood, which causes problems or conflict. PLEDGEtalk has not only helped me focus my attention on the customer but has also been beneficial for any conflicts I’ve had with my co-workers in the past.”
HANNAH ACOSTA, Customer Service
“I have found PLEDGEtalk to be so effective that I have implemented it at home with my three kids under 12, and they each remember the steps of PLEDGE with ease.”

“In the trenches of their own longstanding marriage, Mark and Zerrin Oelze have forged a message of loving our spouses well in the midst of conflict. They are funny, thought-provoking, convicting, biblical, and right. We can love our spouses well through conflict, and both be better for it.
One couple went right home and began to teach it to their children so they could practice it not only in their marriage but also in their family conflicts.”
RODGER THOMPSON
Pastor, Northwest Christian Church (Wichita)
“After years of marriage and family counseling, Mark began to defend a simple, yet powerful truth: people most effectively resolve conflict when they become strong communicators. Mark’s principles and strategies have demonstrated themselves as successful in relationships of all sorts, from husband and wife, parent and child, and even in larger communities.
The Pledge of a Lifetime shares with is readers key principles of healthy communication that are critical to the process of conflict resolution.
May my father’s words encourage you to partake of this meal, that you may taste life in abundance.”
