Overview

Relationships fill our world. They are inescapable. Whether we are in relationships with a spouse, family members, children, co-workers, friends, neighbors or even strangers, we are challenged to learn to get along. In this third book in the COACH series, Ms. Sienko offers practical guidance, down to earth instruction, and simple tools to maximize relationship effectiveness. The catastrophic events of 2005 have shown the residents of the world that we are all interconnected. The humanitarian responses to Hurricane Katrina, the earthquakes in India and other crises have demonstrated that a personal connection is necessary and highly desirable in order to create societies that thrive. It is becoming more obvious that each person's emotional reactions, attitudes, and everyday behaviors affect one another and thus shape the future of our world. As with the previous two books in the COACH series, this book continues to address the need for individuals and groups to become conscious and aware of our impact on one another. In order to create a peaceful and loving world, we must first learn to create love in our families and workplaces, in our communities and beyond. Loving people do not terrorize the world, nor do they loot, steal, rape or create wars. This is the challenge that stands before all of humanity at this juncture: learning to love and support one another, and to thrive in a space of peace.
