There are four key, foundational pillars in developing and maintaining healthy relationships – personal (family and friends) and professional (colleagues and clients):
Common Sense – not acting on assumptions or judgments about the ‘other’
Honesty – about perspectives, intentions and sincere apologies for any hurt caused
Compassionate Understanding – caring responses validate the ‘other’
Transparency – no hidden agendas or attempts to manipulate the ‘other’
When one has this foundation in place, relationships grow and develop in ways that enhance and benefit ‘self’ and ‘other’. 3/8/23
