Positive Relationships

In Workshop Five, you will learn about the role and power of relationship in the coaching process.

The Bible is a book about relationships. In the Workshop Four devotional, we looked at what is referred to as the Greatest Commandment: “to love God and love others as yourself.” We’ve also looked at “one another” concepts in the Bible: “love one another,” “be kind to one another,” “speak truth to one another in love,” and many other relational principles.

While some people might think the Ten Commandments are more rigid dos and don’ts from the Old Testament, they are all relational in nature. The first four are about our relationship with God, and the last six are relationship guidelines and boundaries with others.

The very character and nature of God are Trinitarian. He is in relationship with himself and the other members of the Trinity. And he has created us in this relational image. His primary means of communicating divine reality, love, and transformation is through relationship.

Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:

· Share your thoughts related to the transforming power of relationship.

· Reflect on the impact of relationship on clients as a life coach.

Background Information

Positive psychology and counseling research have reinforced the idea that relationships are central to mental health, happiness, and well-being. Above any other concept, technique, or practice, strong social connections predict levels of emotional well-being and long life more than any other single factor.

Additionally, research has shown that the nature of the therapeutic relationship in a counseling and/or coaching setting is more important than the proper use of a technique or the depth of the coach’s knowledge. A key to building an effective relationship and coaching alliance is trust.
