The good life it turns out, is built with good relationships
In my last post I touched on the first pillar of grace – reaction management. The skills of reaction management strengthen us to handle our own emotional reactions and the emotional reactions of others, in thoughtful and productive ways.
In this post we come to the second pillar of grace – relationship intelligence. According to a Harvard study, following 600 people over 75 years, the most important element in any one of us having a happy and fulfilling life is the nature, quality, and reliability of our relationships. The good life it turns out, is built with good relationships.
We have been going through difficult times; we need to be able rely on each other, strengthen each other, innovate, and create solutions together. Relationship intelligence skills help us elevate the quality of our relationships at home and at work; they help us connect more deeply with our loved ones; they help us build organizational cultures that connect people in meaningful ways.
Can you think of time when the quality of your relationships helped elevate your experience for the better? How about when that was missing in your life or work? I would love to hear from you!
