Relationships can be tricky. If you have a relationship (or two) in your life that you struggle with, this episode could be a turnaround point for you.

Actionable Skills
- Always ask first, rather than assume or make judgments.
- Clearly articulate your own needs. Don’t assume your partner or colleague knows what you want or need at any given moment.
- Stop keeping score and gathering evidence to prove you’re right and the other person is wrong; this act is counterproductive to building healthy connections.
You can quote us on that…
“Think about having less assumptions, but more curiosity.”
Allison Heiliczer
“Being perfectly clear with what it is you want and need and how you work as a team. The other person is not a mind reader.”
Allison Heiliczer
“Most of us, deep down, what we really want is for people to see us, for us to feel like we matter in this world, and for people to actually validate that what I’m saying is reaching you and has some sense of meaning to is.”
