The Journey from "I-to-we": Create an Emotionally Intelligent Relationship Glenn Cohen

The Journey from "I-TO-WE" teaches couples how to gain awareness, learn skills, and practice techniques to be "Best Friends during the Day, Lovers at Night, and Partners for Life." My structured coaching program-"Create an Emotionally Intelligent Relationship" -is a comprehensive guide. I developed the program to help individuals and couples achieve relationship success at home, at work and within themselves. The companion workbook provides interactive exercises, activities, and additional explanations to put this program into practice. My framework models "the best of the best" teachings. In covering each topic, I blended highly respected research with insights from my own life experiences and coaching practice. The "Create an Emotionally Intelligent Relationship" program, as a result, uniquely encompasses all of the crucial areas and aspects of a couple's relationship, and presents them in a personally powerful yet simple-to-follow, practical format. Married couples, committed life partners, separated couples looking for a way to reunite, and pre-committed couples considering final vows of marriage will all benefit from following this program. An individual who has endured relationship difficulties in the past can also gain insight from this book to facilitate success in his or her next relationship opportunity. Interwoven through each chapter is a case vignette based on a fictional couple, Steve and Amy. Their created roles reflect the stories, issues, challenges, and struggles of couples I have coached in my practice through the years. I added the case study to help couples understand how they can apply the awareness, skills and techniques contained in this book to their own situations. The Introduction serves as an overview of this couple's relationship and sets the stage for the vignettes that follow. My hope is that this book guides you on a wonderful journey together as you begin to cross the bridge into your field of sunflowers.
