We need the energy and support of key people in our lives. \r\n\r\nIf we want to be a more authentic version of ourselves and/or do something more inspiring, it’s important to surround ourselves with those who understand and can support us in achieving our Vision. But how do we do that? What are the obstacles and challenges? How do we evaluate our current relationships? What’s our risk to change or not to change them? \r\n\r\nListen to some straight talk on this interesting and somewhat touchy subject. \r\n\r\nWhat We Discuss:\r\n\r\n•\tWhy should we examine our relationships?\r\n•\tWe are the average of our five closest relationships.\r\n•\tThe importance of who we surround ourselves with.\r\n•\tLet’s explore our current relationships.\r\n•\tAre our people in support of our Big, True Vision?\r\n•\tHow to examine and evaluate our relationships.\r\n•\tTaking inventory.\r\n•\tMentor and mentee relationships.\r\n•\tExercises we can undertake to help with this shift.\r\n•\tThe use of the Wheel of Life to evaluate relationships in each key area of your life.\r\n•\tKnowing the unique abilities of those relationships in our lives.\r\n•\tSetting the intention to find the right team support in our lives.\r\n•\tBuilding blocks of relationship skill building: \r\n- Trust\r\n- Listening\r\n- Quality time\r\n- Physical touch\r\n- Deep understanding \r\n- Right action following your words\r\n- Knowing the other’s language of love\r\n•\tUnderstanding ourselves and what’s important.\r\n•\tWhere do we draw the line?
