Conflict is your best friend. Learn why and how to turn your conflicts into connections.
When you realize that conflict doesn't have to be avoided and can lead to connection, you'll be happier, work with fewer conflicts, and feel more fulfilled.
What is relationship intelligence?
Relationship intelligence (r.IQ) is the ability to get your needs met by learning the lessons that conflict has been trying to teach you. In moments of relational confusion and distress, r.IQ enables you to strengthen your relationships by knowing and practicing the tools that defuse conflict and promote connection, which leads to an enhanced sense of well-being and greater life satisfaction.
Why is relationship intelligence essential at work?
Some of the most important relationships in your life besides your family are team members. In most cases, your livelihood depends on how successful you are with connecting at work and being a source of positive collaboration.
Conflict is a natural part of interacting with others since no two people are alike or have the same worldview. That's why it's critical to learn how to engage in conflict constructively.
