In today's episode of Speaking of Inclusion, I am joined by Verity Glasgow, the CEO of One Plus One, a charity that delves into the complexities of human interactions and relationships.
This chat is all about the crucial role relationships play in our personal and professional lives, and the importance of creating and maintaining high-quality relationships. We also talk about recognising the signs that our relationships need attention, and how we can "argue better" to create understanding and connection.
Verity shares insights into the "messy middle" of relationships and practical advice on how to navigate those challenging times (that will always happen!) with awareness and compassion.
Three key takeaways from this conversation include:
The significance of recognising and nurturing the quality of your relationships, as it impacts mental health, well-being, and overall life satisfaction.
The importance of regularly "checking in" on relationships, akin to how we monitor physical health, to ensure mutual growth and connection.
Practical strategies for improving relational capabilities, particularly in high-stress interactions, whether at home or work.
As you listen, reflect on this question:
How often do you intentionally invest time and energy into assessing and improving the quality of your relationships?
