Whether as a leader or management, employee or customer, the… Whether as a leader or management, employee or customer, the ability to create and sustain a relationship is fundamental to success. Relationships build on a number of foundations, including trust and mutual respect. Coaches, counselors, and mentors understand the value of relationships, both in their?nception and their continuation, and spend an exorbitant amount of time and attention in fostering their development.Relationships are made stronger through the use of teams, and here again coaches, counselors, and mentors work to utilize teams in at least some of their work. There is a mistaken belief that the profession of a coach, counselor, or mentor is an individual pursuit. In reality there are occasions where teams are more preferable than individuals. In the upcoming week, the focus is on building relationship, both through the use of individuals and teams, in an effort to raise the level of success in the ambitions of a coach, counselor, or mentor.The world, both in the professional and personal realms, is built on relationships. Whether it comprises those who enter marriage or partnerships, or those who join an organization or an office, or those who volunteer to support a charity or become a member of a sports team or community/civic group. We are communal peoples, feeling both our professional and personal lives are given greater value and joy through the relationships that we enter into through the course of our time.Coaches, counselors, and mentors certainly understand the value of a relationship for it become considerably more difficult to them to accomplish their objective if they cannot connect with their audience, if they cannot build a rapport with their intended subject. How are these relationships built and sustained in a manner that facilitates the objective of a coach, counselor, or mentor?There are five principle strategies that one should follow to best develop this type of conducive relations, starting?ith the absolute requirement that you be truthful and honest. Many see truth and honesty as the same thing, but there is a subtle difference. As referenced by Jonathan Becher (2016) in Forbes Magazine, truth is clear facts and irrefutable knowledge. The truth is always the same and what simply “is.” Honesty, on the other hand, in conveying what you believe to be true, though it may only be your perception or understanding. There may be facts, unknown or unaware by you, that cause your “honesty” to not be “truthful.” To develop a conducive relationship, one must be able to trust another person, and believe they are an honest person.The second principle is to stand behind your word. If you say something, believe it. If you state you will accomplish something, then accomplish it. Never has a relationship crashed so quickly as when a person does not stand by their word or meet the commitments that they have given. As an example of this importance, consider this story.? community member volunteered to host a charity function in an office. The charity was one that had a high profile in the community and town, and several elected politicians and community leaders were members of this charity. Sadly, a personal emergency nearly caused the volunteer to cancel the event, and a kind colleague offered to host the event in their place. However, the colleague failed to stand by several commitments made for the event, and the event turned out to be a major disappointment, causing embarrassment for the original chair and the loss of considerable funds for the charity. The action of the colleague ruined their relationship, which never recovered, because of the lack of trust that the colleague would stand behind his word, once it has been given.The third principle is to help your fellow employee, to be a helpful and friendly person within your organization. Relationships are built on trust, of course, but they are also built on shared sacrifice and assistance. Those we care about the most are those that care about us the most, who have helped us during a difficult time in our lives, whether that be professionally or personally. For that reason, those that help others in their time of need, or simply when they need either a hand or a kind word, are those that we develop fond feeling for and about. This commitment to another person is welcome and appreciated, and forms the beginning of a relationship and even friendship.Fourth is to look for the good. Throughout the course thus far we have emphasized the value of decency and honor in terms of coaching, counseling, and mentorship ambitions. We have accentuated the inherent worth of goodness, of looking for and appreciating how doing good, and being good, can add to the development and sustainment of a relationship. When someone searches for, and displays, genuine goodness throughout all their interactions such a trait is admired, resulting in a level of respect that transcends an individual. Such persons are rare indeed, and it is those individuals who – with a word or phrase – can influence others to think and behave in a different manner, in a more positive one. This is the value of goodness, of looking for the best in life, and trying to live up to becoming a good person who does the right thing at the right time and for the right reasons.Finally, relationships are built and strengthened when one can rise above the fray, to not let the petty jealousies and envious co-workers negatively influence their perspective and conduct. This, to be sure, may be the most challenging of strategies to creating a conducive relationship. When one is wronged, there is a tendency to strike back, to get even. In actuality, nothing can be more wrong. It takes a unique, and special, person to overcome the wrong that has been committed against them and yet not respond in kind. The ability to rise above the fray is a trait displayed by the best of individuals, and it is those individuals who exhibit the type of character that most search for in a relationship partner.Concluding ThoughtsRelationships are challenging and problematic, divisive and time-consuming. They are also enriching and encouraging, invigorating and life-altering. More than anything relationships typify the common man and woman, and they are indicative of a good and a healthy society. Coaches, counselors, and mentors understand the value of relationships and work assiduously to develop and sustain relationship that not only further their professional ambitions, but further personal goals as well. If they can do so, they?eet their objectives but, more importantly, advance the interests of all those they interact with through the course of their travels.Becher, Jonathan.
