8. Listen.
• Ask questions. Seek to understand.
You’ll receive valuable insights
and set a tone that encourages
healthy dialogue.
9. Take care of yourself.
• Exercise, don’t overwork, take a
break. A balanced team, mentally
and physically, is a successful
team. Model it, encourage it,
support it!
10. Roll up your
sleeves.
Like Alexander the
Great leading his men
into battle, you’ll
inspire greatness in
your company.
12. #1 Be Your Best Self
Every good relationship
starts with yourself. If
you go into a
relationship feeling bad
about yourself or
feeling a sense of
emptiness that you hope
someone else will fill,
you’re bound to find
yourself in challenging
and difficult
relationships.
13. #2 Respect Each Other’s
Needs
• We all have different needs and expectations within a relationship,
whether it’s a romance, a friendship or even a professional relationship
with a colleague. What’s important is that you take the time to
understand what each person truly needs so that you can then
respect and honour that need. That includes your own needs, too.
When you’re not consciously aware of what you need and expect from
your partner, it can lead to disappointment and tension when your
needs aren’t being met.
14. #3 Work on the
Relationship Together
• For a relationship to be truly in flow, both
parties need to be prepared to work on the
relationship together. One person simply can’t
be doing all the work while the other slacks
off.
15. #4 Communicate Openly
”The way we communicate with others and with
ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our
lives.” ~
- Anthony Robbins
• Communication between
people needs to be honest,
authentic, open and
compassionate.
16. #5 Focus on the
Blessings
All relationships have
bumps along the way. You
can get caught up on what
someone did or said years
ago, or you can simply
focus on the blessings that
you both share right now,
in the present moment.
17. #6 Give and Receive Love
• Love is at the heart of all
harmonious relationships, no
matter the nature of the
relationship itself.
