The ten minute relationship expert in action

Ian Haugh, 27-28 November, Hungerford

Our relationships – whether personal or in business – have the potential to be our greatest source of happiness. They also seem to have the potential to be our greatest challenge. Learning how to use the challenges in our relationships as stepping stones to both improving those relationships and becoming happier more peaceful people is a gift for life. Our relationships teach us about ourselves, if we allow them to, what we have to learn and what we have to change to achieve increasing levels of happiness and success in our own lives. Like us, Ian is well versed in the Psychology of Vision models we use in our work. in him, you’ll find a kindred spirit.
