The 4 Habits of All Successful Relationships
Dr. Andrea Taylor-Cummings
Why do some relationships work and others don’t?
All relationships – at home, at work, and in life – face a similar set of inevitable hurdles.
Success comes from learning how to get over the hurdles ahead of time and taking personal responsibility for turning up well in our relationships.
When we don’t, we end up stumbling at every hurdle, living in frustration or giving up on the relationship all together. We leave partners, we leave families, we leave organizations... and in our wake we leave a trail of mental, emotional and financial trauma.
This book will help you understand why you need to be intentional about building your Relational Intelligence and how you can, in very practical terms, change your behaviors from habits that damage relationships to habits that strengthen them.
