Looking for a faster, easier, more rewarding path in your interpersonal relationships at work or at home? You could achieve a level of skill in this area probably beyond your imaginings. The secret is a systematic and insightful approach, using the best of practical psychology, NLP, ancient wisdom, and first-hand experience of organizational life at all levels. Such a systematic approach is available for you here in the form of the Relationship Mastery formula.
Our ability to relate to other people is often the key determinant in what happens in our lives, both at home and at work – the most critical skill we can ever have. Some years ago, I ran out of patience with the lack of a really systematic way of working on this and set out to develop one. The result is the “Relationships Mastery” formula, which is a reliable route to success you can apply over and over again to improve your life in every area, just as I have done. The elements of the formula are used by the most accomplished, and you can access them too through my books, audio programs, radio interview recordings, and coaching and workshop programs of various kinds. I have gathered together the essentials and that can save you a great deal of time, avoiding the necessity to spend many days attending courses that lack the specific focus.
The benefits for you are:
Winning more business
Keeping your job, or getting a better one
Connecting with people quickly and easily in a lasting way
Collaborating effectively, resolving disputes and handling conflict with ease
Being confident and resourceful with people
Enjoying your relationships at home
Making more sense of your life

I just finished this book! I've been trying to work on my relationship with my boss and my teammates since I seem to be doing all of the other things right around my office. But, apparently, my approach to working with people hasn't always been the best in terms of working the office politics and getting people to see things my way. I've been reading as much as I can about working with people. My mentor recommended I try "Relationship Mastery" by Dr. David Fraser. It's had a lot of great suggestions as to how psychology comes into play in all kinds of relationships - not just professional ones. The lessons I've learned will help me to be a better co-worker, wife and friend. Thanks Dr. Fraser!
