Living in our hustle society with a perpetual “eye on the prize” mentality, professional achievements are often prioritized. As such, the importance of nurturing personal relationships is often overlooked. As a Transformative Coach with a vast personal history of abusive relationships, before I broke the pattern of course... I've learned first-hand that investing in your romantic relationships is not just beneficial - it's essential for both personal happiness AND continued professional success.
The Power of Partnership in Achieving Success
As a result of both personal and professional experience, I’m going to share a profound truth with you: Personal relationships significantly impact the scope of your professional achievements. Now a widely accepted fact, a study by The Harvard Business Review supports this notion, suggesting that people in supportive, stable relationships often perform better in their careers. They are less stressed, more creative, and can take higher risks with the confidence that comes from having a supportive partner by their side.
Why Invest in Your Romantic Relationships?
Now before you harpoon me, saying you’ve done it by yourself, you don’t need a man / woman, you’ve got this, you’re killing it, blah blah etc. Let me tell you, I used to think so too…
A woman with my history of broken promises and misplaced trust makes an easy career of picking herself up off the floor and dusting herself off on her own, but humour me a second while I share what I’ve discovered.
No matter how successful you are, the RIGHT relationship will take you higher.
How you ask…?
1. Radical Authenticity
Your closest relationships are those that challenge you the most. They’re the mirror to your triggers and the arena for your growth. Romantic relationships especially, make us vulnerable and authentic in the most intense and beautiful way. They encourage us to self-reflect, to learn and expand, especially the unsuccessful ones! Investing in your relationships will teach you about yourself. Listening to your partner will expand your way of thinking, which will present opportunities you’d likely have missed if you hadn’t learned to do so effectively.
2. Enhanced Communication Skills
Relationships emphasize the importance of communication, a vital skill in professional environments as it is in personal ones. Learning to express feelings in a healthy and effective way, showing respect amid emotional meltdowns, focusing on appreciation and listening actively to another, will improve relationships at home and at work, leading to better collaboration and conflict resolution.
3. Emotional Stability
A strong romantic relationship provides emotional support and stability. This foundation allows individuals to pursue their career goals with greater focus and less anxiety. A Transformative Coach that focuses on intimacy will help couples establish this kind of emotional support, allowing them to be there for each other, from the bedroom to the boardroom and everywhere in between.
4. Increased Resilience
Life inevitably includes challenges, both personal and professional. A supportive partner will help you navigate these challenges, helping you to take stock, think laterally and grow much more resilient. When coaching couples, I help my clients build relationships that provide mutual support and encouragement, enhancing their ability to handle professional setbacks and stress, utilizing the love in their lives for success - And boy do they feel the difference!
5. Expanded Network
A practical aspect of investing in relationships is the expansion of your professional network. Social gatherings, industry events attended together, friends, family and acquaintances will open new doors and inspire new actions. Invest in career opportunities from a personal perspective and find greater alignment, trust and confidence in your abilities, as they know who you are and share in what you value.
