Course 2
Relational Intelligence
Read relational cues, stay present, and build stronger connection, so misunderstandings stop quietly turning into distance in the relationships that matter most.
What You'll Learn
Recognize relational cues in tone, body language, and timing before they turn into conflict.
Tell the difference between what someone actually said and the assumption you added on top.
Direct your full attention into a conversation instead of splitting it between people and devices.
Interpret ambiguous situations with curiosity instead of jumping to the worst-case meaning.
Build relational trust through consistent, honest, and attuned communication.
Inside This Course
Reading Relational Cues
Notice tone, timing, and body language as information, not distraction, so you catch what's really happening in a conversation.
Assumptions vs. Reality
Separate what actually happened from the story you told yourself about it, before the story drives your response.
The Power of Attention
Practice being fully present in conversations that matter, instead of half-listening while planning your reply.
Making Meaning Together
Learn how meaning is co-created between people, and how to check it instead of assuming you already know it.
Building Relational Trust
Turn consistent presence, honesty, and attunement into relationships that can hold hard conversations.
A Note Before You Begin
How to Get the Most From the Awaken to Presence Program
Awaken to Presence is designed to create meaningful change, not simply give you more information.
Resist the temptation to move quickly through the courses. Instead, give yourself time to absorb what you are learning and notice how it connects to your own thoughts, emotions, relationships, and everyday experiences.
I recommend moving through each course at a pace of no more than two lessons per week, allowing at least a day or two between lessons to review your notes, reflect on what stood out to you, and practice what you are learning.
For most courses, plan on spending at least two weeks working through the material. The Joy-Fueled Leader is a longer course, so give yourself additional time to move through it thoughtfully.
Included With the Bundle
If you purchased the complete Awaken to Presence bundle, you also have four individual coaching sessions included with the program. These sessions are an opportunity to take the learning even deeper by exploring what is coming up for you, applying the concepts to your own life and leadership, and getting support as you put what you are learning into practice.
The more space you give yourself to reflect, practice, and engage with the material, the more likely it is to move beyond something you understand intellectually and become part of how you actually live, lead, and relate to others.
Who It's For
- You want to understand what's really happening beneath the surface of a conversation.
- You notice misunderstandings quietly turning into distance in your relationships.
- You want to communicate in ways that build trust instead of tension.
- You're ready to replace assumptions with curiosity.
- You want deeper, more attuned connection with the people you lead and love.
How It Works
Relational Intelligence is built on the Present Process Model. You'll start by building real awareness of the relational cues around you, which creates space to consider what's really happening instead of reacting on impulse. That space is where choice lives, and repeated choice, practiced daily, is what becomes lasting change in how you connect.
