Testimonials:

“JC is really the embodiment of The Charming Guy. If there's one man who understands feminine quirks, that would be JC. I love the fact that I am able to talk to him and seek his advice on practically everything even if the topic is awkward. JC never makes me feel that I should apologize for my thoughts no matter how weird my thoughts get at times. He always makes time to listen to you and helps you focus so that your thoughts are not all over the place. Most of all, JC has a high respect for women. He places premium importance on going beyond obligatory politeness and advocates exceeding customer expectations to make every business transaction a truly enriching experience. And, ultimately, that is what being a Charming Guy is all about.”
Sunny Cervantes, Marketing Consultant, Freelancer

“Only recently having met JC, I warmed to his very passionate nature immediately. His words and experience are comforting and his insight is balanced. JC has helped me only through the initial steps of the Dream Coach® process so far, but already I have noted improvements in my life and my outlook. His techniques help me stay focused and on-track, and he inspires me to most value my own personal integrity. Whilst we have only met a little over one month ago, from the very beginning I felt we had known each other for a very long time.”

Keeping the Love Tank Full – The Charminguys’ View on "Love is Learned"

The following are my brief points of view on the quotes in this years inaugural November 30th edition of Dr. Gary Chapman’s “The Love Language Minutes” newsletter.

Love is Learned
Marriage is designed by God to meet our deep need for intimacy and love. Again and again I have heard the words “Our love is gone, our relationship is dead. We used to feel close, but not now. We don’t meet each other’s needs.” Their stories bear testimony… Continue

Keeping the Love Tank Full – The Charminguys’ View on “Speak Their Language”

The following are my brief points of view on the quotes in this years inaugural November 30th edition of Dr. Gary Chapman’s “The Love Language Minutes” newsletter.

Speak Their Language
The need to feel loved by one’s spouse is at the heart of marital desires. I believe this need can be met in any marriage, if each of them will discover the primary love language of their spouse and speak it regularly. There are only five love languag… Continue

Keeping the Love Tank Full – The Charminguys’ View on “Running on Empty”

The following are my brief points of view on the quotes in this years inaugural November 30th edition of Dr. Gary Chapman’s “The Love Language Minutes” newsletter.

Running on Empty
I liked the metaphor the first time I heard it: “Inside every child is an ‘emotional tank’ waiting to be filled. When a child really feels loved, he will develop normally, but when the love tank is empty, the child will misbehave. Their misbehavior is a m… Continue

Keeping the Love Tank Full – The Charminguys’ View on “The Need for Love”

The following are my brief points of view on the quotes in this years inaugural November 30th edition of Dr. Gary Chapman’s “The Love Language Minutes” newsletter.

The Need for Love
Love is the most important word in the English language - and the most confusing. The apostle Paul said that in the last scene of the human drama, only three characters will remain: “faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” Yet, lov… Continue

Expect Less!

Let me share with you the most recent journey that I’ve traveled. I’ve
just returned from an amazing week in San Francisco where I attended an
Inspiring Speaker Workshop. The most relevant takeaway for this post
came from former Saturday Night live writer Jim Pelley, now with his
own Laughter Works.
Whilst teaching us about the significance of humor & story telling,
very early on in his session he promised to tell us the secret of
happiness. I wait… Continue

Exit Strategy

So you didn’t do your homework. You didn’t listen to the
Charminguy and didn’t make your list. Now you’re stuck! You’ve made the
commitment, she is in love with you and it’s not working for you. OK, this is
the practical side of relationships that don’t work. Are you willing to listen
to me now? Are you willing to stop the needless suffering and time wasted? At
least have some integrity and do it properly!

As much as it might hurt, honesty is the best policy, unless the t

Can your heart take good sex?

It's September 8th and I’ve just settled into my hotel room on the night before another Strategy in a Day session. Yeah, cause Charminguy.com isn't my day job.. yet ;-)

I’m working my way through some e-mails with the TV in the background. I have to burst out into laughter as I overhear the TV commercial for Viagra announce their disclaimer; “don’t forget to ask your doctor if your heart is strong enough for sex”.

So what have we co… Continue

Present in her absence

Last Friday night Maria went out with the girls & I took myself out on a movie date. I love the movies and my choice for the evening was The Bourne Ultimatum. I used to hate going to the movies alone, but have realized that my distaste for my own company was driven by my repressed fears.. but those are a whole other topic.

Maria was very present as I fully enjoyed the movie and at the end, during the credits, I wasn't surprised when o… Continue

One Semester of Spanish Love Song

Maria & I moved to Barcelona in January of this year and she's been having her challenges with learning Spanish. I love her so much that I'll do anything to help her learn this language so that she can be even more social in the city of living. Knowing that Maria's primary love language is acts of service, and one of the qualities from her list was to make her laugh, I thought I get her some special help from a new style of… Continue

I Drove All Night..

Last night I attended a networking event where my soon to be bride to be was one of the guest speakers. Let me just say that she was amazing, her presence magnificent, and just to ensure I'm not being biased (because obviously I am), the rest of the people I spoke with were very impressed! During the taxi ride home the song "I Drove All Night" (Cindy Lauper… Continue

Exit Strategy

In a reading regarding risk management,on the idea of resource commitment the authors quote George Bernard Shaw, "any fool can start a love affair, but it takes a genius to end one successfully".

Pretty interesting.
