Habit #1 - BE CURIOUS, not critical
Navigating Unmet Expectations
We each turn up to a relationship with a certain set of expectations - some of which we’re conscious of, and some we have no idea about. Together, they create an experience of surprise and sense-making in the routine of daily lives together. Life is easy where the expectations are shared. The challenges come when the expectations are different and real problems can surface when unmet expectations are around issues that are “big deals” for us – fundamental issues for one partner or both.
In this course, we look at expectations and how to build more common ground in a relationship. Specifically, we look at:
Taking the time to build your understanding in this area will give you a new level of care and empathy because you are able to inspect your own expectations, articulate the ones important to you and understand your partner’s drivers as well. It also means you can really have each other’s back because you know the things that will create frustrations and how to lift them out of that.
Sign up today… and look forward to a new world of greater understanding and less stress as you learn to play to your respective strengths and cut each other some slack where you approach things differently!

Read MoreThe text is very full and in depth and introduced me to a way a looking at things that I just had not thought of. This new way of looking at things and developing awareness in itself can help avoid conflict too quickly as you try to work out what something really is, rather than drawing a conclusion too quickly. I have found the course helpful and that, as a single woman!
