Relationships
“The greatest social disturbances we have on this planet do not originate from people’s being together and mis-communicating with each other; they originate from within each individual.”
John-Roger, Educator, Lecturer, Author
Professional Relationships:
How you communicate in your professional relationships is related to how you communicate in your mind with your past and present life experiences.
According to Scientist David Bohm in his book On Dialogue, “…people coming from different backgrounds have different assumptions and opinions, and they influence our relationships.”
Sometimes, when people are unable to deal with uncomfortable relationship situations, they take flight or retreat into their personal space to find peace to think and solve problems. When they emerge they are clearer, but the colleague or business partner is confused asking, what did I do wrong? Is it my fault? Am I to blame? Blaming others or ourselves is a common response to uncomfortable situations. SparkAdvance coaching guides you to experience understanding and acceptance, resulting in more fulfilling professional relationships.
Personal Relationships:
"If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don't be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning 'good morning' at total strangers."
Maya Angelou, Poet, Writer and Performer

- A 2006 study, published in Money magazine, found that 15% of couples fought about money several times a month. Even in strong marriages, stressors such as job losses, salary cuts or working longer hours can trigger angry outbursts of frustration or numbed out silences that quickly take a marriage into the danger zone.
- In another survey done by PayPal they found that 43% of U.S. couples are arguing more about money because of the current economic situation. 10 % of couples have ended a relationship due at least in part to financial issues. Money is the number one cause of arguments among 31% of U.S. couples followed by 28% household chores, in-laws 22 % and sex 15 %.
