your mindset as you discuss
Often we come to this type of process in our relationships because we know things are not quite where we want them.
I help run business training courses to grow trust in relationships, I encourage people as they work out issues and problems in relationships to play with the quote on the right.
As they focus their minds on this, people tell me that they more easily

​
As you work through this programme, and use it to grow your relationships, so I encourage you to open up your sense of curiosity and enjoy the process of deepening your understanding.
