Forte Labs x RBTL: 👀 Taking the Work Out of Relationships
What makes you successful at work sucks the life out of your relationships.
Sounds counterintuitive, right?
In many fields, there are beliefs that are commonly held because they are intuitive, but they are completely wrong. Here are a few:
To be successful at work, you work hard.
To be successful in design, you focus on aesthetics.
To be successful in fitness, it's about maximizing weight.
The correct belief is often counterintuitive:
At work, it's not actually about working hard, it's about working smart.
In design, it's not about focusing on aesthetics, it's about focusing on usability.
In fitness, it's not about maximizing weight, it's about mastering form.
In relationships, there are many commonly held beliefs that you continue believing in because they feel intuitive, but in reality, they are getting in the way and causing unnecessary arguments, headaches, and confusion in your relationships.
In this workshop, you will discover the painful cost of holding on to one of the most intuitive, but insidious beliefs, and instead, discover the ease made possible in your relationships by unlearning this belief.
