If you couldn’t make it to our February AACP National Practice Group meeting, here’s a brief recap on the insightful session led by Rose Cocchiaro of Resolve Divorce.

In her presentation, Rose introduced WRAP (HeathBrothers.com/Decisive), a no-nonsense framework designed to help professionals make smarter, more effective decisions. Key takeaways included:

✔️ Widen your options – Avoid the trap of “either/or” thinking to expand possibilities.
✔️ Reality-test assumptions – Challenge what you think you know.
✔️ Attain distance before deciding – Don’t let short-term emotions derail long-term goals.
✔️ Prepare to be wrong – Acknowledge potential blind spots to improve adaptability.

After the presentation, attendees engaged in breakout discussions, applying the WRAP method to real-world scenarios. The result? Meaningful dialogue, fresh perspectives, and practical strategies for shifting away from rigid, adversarial habits to improve client outcomes.

Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive: Engaging. Practical. Eye-opening.
