HI Friend,
I had an interesting conversation with a client the other day.
Let’s call him Bob.
I’ve been working with Bob for several months. He is the CEO of a large company in Alberta.
Bob told me he'd be sending one of his executives to me for coaching.
Let’s call the executive Tony.
Bob said Tony's position in his company has been an important one, but that lately he's been making a lot of mistakes that are completely out of character for him.
It reached the point where the "Powers That Be" were considering firing Tony.
When Bob spoke with Tony to express his concerns, it came out that Tony’s marriage has been on the rocks.
It turns out that his wife says she's miserable and "she needs a divorce".
Tony hasn’t been able to focus and his job-performance is plummeting as a result.
And what makes Tony extra vulnerable is that Tony wasn’t even consciously aware that his marriage was affecting his career to the extent it was until he spoke with Bob.
That’s when Bob contacted me to say that he would be sending Tony my way for coaching. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of this sort of scenario.
A few years ago, the top regional sales rep for a large well known company was at the “Between Men and Women” in person retreat.
He told me on the side that his performance dropped so dramatically as a result of his marital issues, that the president of the company "called him to the carpet" to find out what was happening.
A similar incident came to my attention several years ago, though this one had a tragic outcome.
You likely heard about it ... it made the national news because the accident was SO bizarre and unexpected.
A lineman was working on a job outside of Calgary. I forget the details, but the man was killed in one of the freakiest workplace accidents recorded.
We later found out from another client of mine that the fellow who was killed was going through a brutal divorce at the time.
The point is that what goes on in your marriage/relationship has impacts that go well-beyond your home.
As if there isn’t enough these days affecting your work and finances – COVID-19, lagging oil prices and stalled pipelines – you don’t need to add relationship issues to that list.
While you can’t do anything about COVID-19 or global oil prices, you can do something about your communication and relationship.
That is very much within your control. And what’s more, it’s not as difficult as some may think.
In order to get a big breakthrough, you don’t need to dig up past issues, or even talk about current issues that are going on between you and you partner.
There’s no uncomfortable (weird) exercises you need to do.
You don’t need to change who you are.
A lot of what's missing for couples that are struggling is a clearer understanding of who this person is that you are spending your life with.
I don’t mean who they are in terms of their interests, hobbies, family history, etc..
What I mean is, at a deeper level, who are they as a man or a woman?
Men and women are different.
Science is recognizing those differences more and more each year. There may be a LOT of different relationship advice out there, BUT there is only a small amount that you need to focus on to get life-changing results. That’s what we give you in the “Between Men and
Women” Online Couples Communication Workshop that’s happening again on August 29 -30.
We cut through the reams of information and get right to what really makes a difference.
Relevant information like:
What makes men and women tick and how fundamental differences in communication easily will cause breakdown. What do men and women want in life and from each
other and how knowing this can work in everyone's favor. What motivates men and women and what holds
them back from connecting with one another?
What do men and women need to excel and how can they bring the best out in one another?
What are the exact physiological and neurological differences that determine how they behave, how they react, and what they focus on and how knowing all of that can make each of you more compassionate, understanding and patient with one another.
**************************************************************************
For over 15 years, these understandings have been transforming, and saving, hundreds of relationships.
That’s what we want for you - the relationship you know is possible and that you know you deserve.
Remember, the quality of your relationship affects far more than how you feel at home.
It affects your well-being. It affects your career. It affects how you feel about yourself, your partner and even about other people.
