Every great idea starts with a great theory – an idea that promotes contemplation, application, and realization.
Relationship Intelligence (r.IQ) is the constellation of our reflections on countless relationships and hardships. When combined with the acknowledgment that humans are intensely social and that relationships alter neurobiology, shape our sense of self, and influence behavior, we learned that teaching people how to turn conflict into connection with intentionality, curiosity, and flexibility results in most valuable and gratifying human experience–closeness or intimacy.
But how do we begin to get what we desire and deserve? One of the keys to enhancing relationship intelligence begins with exploring the peaks and valleys associated with your upbringing and relationship history. These are the life lessons you learned when you didn’t realize you were being taught. The process of learning your most informative and influential life lessons is the foundation upon which you increase your relationship intelligence.
