Heart
The same "heart" steps of Personal Integrity are required for change in relationships;
honesty, listening to our conscience, etc., but an additional step is required in
relationships. Could the following be a roadblock to relationship improvement for you?
Just like creating goals and plans to improve ourselves for ourselves, we can improve
ourselves in our relationship for someone else. The same "head" steps of individual
change are required; Creating a vision of a better relationship, a specific plan, focusing on
only one thing, and recognizing that change will take time. In addition, the following skills
are fundamental for relationship change:
Your coach will help you develop these skills for respectful, productive communications.
The same "heart" steps of Personal Integrity are required for change in relationships;
honesty, listening to our conscience, etc., but an additional step is required in
relationships. Could the following be a roadblock to relationship improvement for you?
- Equal Be honest with yourself. Your head agrees that others are equal, but does
your heart? We frequently feel that we are better than, or not as good as others.
Trusting, respectful relationships begin with the ability to truly feel we are equal.
Others may be more or less intelligent or have more or less money, but they are just
as human as we are. They have dreams, needs, wants, fears, and desires just as
important as ours. Not more or less important, Equal. It is this change in our hearts
that is at the core of being able to be unselfish, and being unselfish is essential for
relationships of Integrity. Your coach will help you develop this skill of the heart.

are fundamental for relationship change:
- Listening Most of us think we are pretty good at listening, but when we are really
honest we admit that when "listening", we are thinking about something else or busy
formulating our next response. Another problem with true listening is that when
disagreements arise, our rational thinking gives way to our emotions and we start
thinking only about why we are right and defending our position. - Understanding This goes beyond listening to what someone says to understanding
why they say it. It extends to understanding why they do what they do. - Conflict Resolution When conflict occurs in a relationship, our natural tendency is
either "fight or flight". We "dig in" for a good fight, or we "run away" and hope the
problem will resolve itself with time. Neither of these reactions are productive in
resolving conflict.
Your coach will help you develop these skills for respectful, productive communications.
