Head Mentor, Paul Stephen Waugh, contrasts the symptoms of destructive “relationships” with what constitutes and characterises the real peak state interactions that we deserve to be seeking for ourselves and with others.

Thanks Viv - true win/win is so much more than giving and getting! It’s mental, emotional and spiritua.
The ability to seek and build a first class relationship is crucial. It's not always easy and there are times when you are challenged and held accountable, but ultimately why would you not want a relationship with someone who truly and deeply cares for you?
Cheers for sharing Viv. Win/win relationships or no deal is powerful. Are these relationships righteous? Are they healthy? Two questions that immediately sprang to mind along with questioning the intention, i.e. is it self serving, a win/lose.
Thanks Viv. "No one cares what you say until they know how much you care" came to mind. Thank you
Yes! My goodness, I never ever in my life knew what it takes to actually build a win win relationship. It's hard!! It's not easy, and definitely not something you can cut and paste from a personal development book. It takes brutal honesty at times, incredible levels of humility... hmm and I am only just scratching the surface, I'm learning to learn how to build win-win relationships that last a lifetime. And if it can't be win-win I know first hand that it must be a no-deal. I'm getting this lesson after 10 years... if it's not win-win, it's not healthy for you or for them! Personal life and professional...
