Personal Identity

Then the book explores who were think we are right now. Our roles, our personality and what others expect from us. What we do, not just who we are can define us – and in the process we can lose ourselves.

So behind all the roles, who are we really? Who is our authentic, true self? Can you find yourself again?

The book explores 3 approaches to finding out who you really are.

 

Relating to others

In the second part of the book we explore how we relate to others with a new understanding of ourselves.

As with our own roles, we tend to perceive others through their roles – and many assumptions go along with that! This can get in the way of relating to others and having a true relationship with the real them.

Relationships in the workplace have a particular dynamic as there are many other factors in play in an organisation. The book explores our role at work, the particular challenges of management and leadership roles and how adopting a coaching management style might help develop more productive and real relationships at work.

Developing your inter-personal skills

Finally the book looks at some practical skills and techniques which you can use right now to improve your relationships at work and at home, in your professional life and your personal life.

These simple skills can be transformational. Instead of exchanging information, you begin to relate at a more real level. Instead of just listening, you can enable the other person to feel heard.

These inter-personal skills can enable you to develop a quality of relationship that you’ve never had before. Where you can find yourself, find others and ebale them to find themselves too.
