My coach Keith Collins shared his wisdom with me in regard to attitudes in relationships. He was talking about the coaching relationship, however, the same wisdom could also be applied to other relationships.
There are three great assets :
1. To be sensitively detached. This means being sensitive to where the person in your relationship is and yet detached from their issues.
2. To be emotionally rational. This means being able to assess the situation of the person in your relationship from both a rational and an emotional perspective.
3. To be exclusively connected. This means hearing the messages of the person in your relationship that will guide and support them on their path.
Just imagine how work and personal relationships would benefit if we applied our attitude in these three ways.
The results would be more openness, helpful support, better teams and relationships all round would be enhanced and more productive. Everyone would be working together for the best rather than the opposite.
