Enlightened Relationships: From Bedroom to Boardroom
A healthy lifestyle requires healthy relationships and healthy relationships require healthy interactions, communications, and negotiations.
As social beings, we are interdependent, we must interact in order to survive. Unfortunately, most people have not learned the art and science of interaction. Learn the nuances of communication and negotiation as the building blocks of any mutually fulfilling relationship in your personal and professional life.
As in nature, humans and their interactions are subject to certain laws that we must honor in order to survive and thrive. Learn the 8 Universal Laws of Enlightened Negotiation with emphases on Effective Communications, Building Trust, the Power of Intention, the Significance of Creativity, and the Magic of Mindfulness.
Attain the Right Mindset and Skillset to Achieve the Ideal Outcome in Your Interactions
Put your attention on your intention! Often in challenging interactions people react from a default mode with an automatic response, consciously or unconsciously, which is not healthy. This may compromise our relationship and create unhappiness or escalate to a conflict.
Learn a simple yet profound tool that liberates you from this trap. The choice of your behavior not only demonstrates your authenticity and clarity, it removes the guessing game for others, prevents conflict and makes a good relationship even better!
In this session you will learn how to use The Law of Intention as a GPS or the guiding light of your behavior in any interaction or negotiation. We will also discuss The Law of Strength; you will discover the source of your strength in any interaction or negotiation and learn how to tap into that source.
Build Trust, Learn to Overcome Obstacles and Prevent Failure or Conflict by Using the Laws of Trust and Flexibility
Similar to the idea of using your creativity to uplift your relationships, you can tap into your creativity to avoid conflict. Obstacles and roadblocks are part of interactions in any relationship. Learn how to maneuver and negotiate your way to your goal.
The main reason for an impasse in any interaction is lack of flexibility on either side as parties don’t see a viable option. Learn the golden role of brainstorming for co-creating options.
Last but not least: Trust is the foundation of any relationship! How to build trust and how to amend a broken trust. What do biological and behavioral sciences of trust teach us?
