The ScreamFree message, stressing calm, principle-based relationships, was a big hit with the entire Chick-fil-A family. When relationships at home are good, so goes the business.

Five Truths Every Parent Needs to Know
Every parent wants a more peaceful home. And a little respect & appreciation wouldn’t hurt, either. We also crave something deeper: We want to feel confident we’re doing a good job and feel capable to handle any parenting challenge. All of that is possible, even probable, when a parent decides to become ScreamFree. Moving beyond child-centered, technique-based approaches, the ScreamFree mindset compels us to focus on controlling ourselves, instead of our kids. By staying both calm and connected with our kids, we begin to operate less out of our deepest fears (which always backfires) and more out of our highest principles. With his laugh-out-loud, self-deprecating style Hal has delivered this, his landmark program based on his NYT Bestseller, to thousands throughout the US and around the world.
The Lifelong Marriage Mindset
Six Keys to Creating a Romance that Lasts
Building a lifelong romance is a universal dream, but the realities of marriage can make that dream so difficult to come true. What we need is a radical new Lifelong Marriage Mindset, focused on uncovering the common lies about marriage, and replacing those with the truths that simply make more sense. Combining timeless principles, the foremost clinical research, and a LOL-speaking style, Hal presents a vision for intimate relationships unlike most everything you’ve ever heard. Based on his remarkable book, ScreamFree Marriage, this Mindset is not built on “fighting fair,” or “meeting one another’s needs,” or “becoming more compatible.” None of these can truly help you grow as a person or improve your marriage. A Lifelong Marriage begins with focusing on individual self-respect, championing your own personal growth as the key to intimacy. That way, your marriage can actually be a celebration of the differences between you and your spouse, building a foundation for a romance that lasts.
Choose Your Own Adulthood
The Small Choices that Make a Big Difference
Respond More, React Less...Create More, Critique Less...Finish More, Start Less. These are some of the small but significant choices of successful adults, and these are the choices young people need to master. What started as a letter to his graduating daughter turned into NYT Bestselling Author Hal Runkel’s newest program for all adults, beginning with senior high school and college students all the way up to grandparents. Using humor, story-telling, and real-life scenarios, Hal leads teens, young adults (and their parents) out of the adolescent world of black-and-white reactivity, and into the adult world of sophisticated, effective decision-making.
Parenting in the Digital Age
Never before in human history have teens been this connected to each other, nor had access to this much information (and misinformation) about sex, violence and other of life’s dangers. This combination
is leading to enormous problems involving sexting, cyberbullying, and child pornography, to name a few. ScreamFree founderHal Runkel takes the latest research about brain chemistry, the latest rulings on public policy, and his own findings among teenagers to develop a clear path forward for parents, teachers, and teens themselves. Combining timeless principles with practical digital guidelines, Hal shows audiences that the digital world is not as scary as parents may fear, nor as innocent as teens may assume.
