About this listen

Your happiness and your success depend on your working relationships

The people you manage. How well you work with your boss. The way collaboration happens with colleagues and peers. How you connect with important prospects and key clients.

But the hard truth is this: most of us leave the health and fate of these relationships to chance.

We say “Hi,” exchange pleasantries … and hope for the best.

But every relationship becomes suboptimal at some point, whether it’s a good one that goes off the rails or one that was poor from the start.

Mostly we are resigned to the fact that this is what happens: relationships always get a little broken, or a little stale, or a little worse. C’est la vie, c’est la guerre. Carry on.

But it doesn’t have to be like this.

Every working relationship can be better.

This book shows you how to build the best possible relationship.

One conversation. Five questions. Detailed guidance on how to prepare and set the relationship up for success. Key insights on how to maintain the relationship so that it will continue to thrive.

Finally a practical manual for those vital but often awkward working relationships that can make or break your life’s spirit

Thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. The real test of the pudding will be in working through the physical printed book over the next 6 weeks. Most things made sense. Can’t wait to apply and learn.

BPRs -a way forward

Saw Michael speak at the QASEL conference this week and wanted to dive deeper into “How to work with almost anyone”. Didn’t disappoint! Lots of scaffolds and starting points to help build Best Possible Relationships with Co-workers, bosses and others.

Book couldn’t justify the TITLE

The book didn’t worth the time to spend on such a novice approach to the subject.
