Part 12 of the transforming communication interview:
Michael: Because, one of the things that became very clear to me, fairly recently, since doing the TC course, is that the most successful people on the planet are the ones to most successfully create relationships whereby you got the win-win situation you discussed earlier on and I just think that is quite an important takeaway for everybody listening to consider and to look at.
Richard: Absolutely. I mean, those kind of relationships… And here’s an interesting thing too. Because I’ve taught thousands and thousands of people this course myself personally. I don’t just train instructors of this course, I continually run the course myself several times each year.
And one of things that always reinspires me when I’m running the training is that people don’t want win-loose relationships. They don’t have children thinking: what I’m going to do, is terrify this child into doing whatever I say each day. They don’t begin marriages or intimate relationships by thinking: what I’m going to do is coerce this other person into doing things my way for fifty years. They don’t set up companies thinking: I’m going to be a frightening kind of overseer of the people in my team and I’m going to make them wish that they were never born.
They’re actually going into all those relationships thinking: I want to create, and I can create, a great team, I can create relationships, people will like me and I will enjoy being with them. And that’s in a way the hope as well. Every time I run the course I see that people want that result; they simply don’t know the detailed skills to get it….
