Making Your Relationships work for You ~The Course





What is the nature of a relationship and how do you enable relationships that will truly work for you and the other person? 


  • The relationships scale runs from healthy and vibrant to toxic and deadly.  We have all experienced both types and seek to avoid the later.
  • Typical Social networking friending is not true relationship building; although it may contain some of the elements.
  • All relationships with other folks are reflective of the relationship with one's self.




To understand relationships that provide mutual benefit let us first look at the nature of win~win relationships.







Dictionary

defines win-win as,
"advantageous or satisfactory to all parties involved"; thus a win-win relationship is one in which all parties experience having their needs met, over time.


"The Law of Win-Win says, 'Let's not do it your way or my way let's do it the best way." ~Greg Anderson, American Author & Founder, The American Wellness Project




If you want to engage in relationships that will work and thrive; think win~win.
  
Otherwise someone in the relationship may feel she/he is the lesser partner. 

Who truly wants that?  




To reach an enhanced understanding  of the concept of win~win relationships please enjoy the following video of a TED Talk by Mark Morris, a professor of business management and entrepreneurship at Brigham Young University. (2015)











  • How would you define a win~win relationship?
  • What are the benefits of win~win relationships?
  • What primary relationship effects all other relationships?

Remember, tune in to the quality of your relationships!



Make it your goal to turn them into the win~win type!
