This webinar is b ased on the book, &ldquo\;Building Exceptional Relationships with Family F riends and Colleagues, which is in turn based on a course taught by Carole Robin, Ph.D. at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. The course, Int erpersonal Dynamics, affectionately called &ldquo\;Touchy Feely&rdquo\; by students, was the most popular and oversubscribed to elective course. For many decades, students described the course as transformative and often s ay it alone was worth the price of tuition. The premise of the course and the book is that being interpersonally competent is a determinant of both professional and personal success.

During the webina r, we will explore how to move a relationship along a continuum from dysfu nctional, or in which there is contact but no connection, to one that is a t a minimum robust and functional, as well as what it takes to move a rela tionship even farther down the continuum to exceptional. We&rsquo\;ll talk about the role of appropriate disclosure and vulnerability, the importanc e of stretching outside our comfort zones, inviting disclosure, developing empathy, giving feedback in service of building stronger relationships, a nd dealing with conflict productively. \; \;
