Sachin is excited to introduce Jocelyn and Aaron Freeman to the audience. They met through the Genius Network and it seemed a serendipitous series of events, enough so that they found the Universe was bringing them together!
The Freemans are sought-after relationship coaches, and have worked with celebrity couples, public figures, and thousands of couples around the world, and have shared the stage with Tony Robbins.
They join the show today to share practical tools and situational examples to help you improve your relationship.
Key Takeaways:
[:45] Sachin welcomes the Freemans to this episode and gives a little bit of background on how they met before diving right into who they are and what they do!
[5:17] Your grand vision takes time, energy, and support from others, so do relationships — especially in times like these where we’re all cooped up together.
[8:20] Be mindful of the effort you put into the relationship as well as the part of yourself you dedicate to them.
[9:33] Your assumptions about your partner’s level of satisfaction may be erroneous. Aaron explains why your answer to the question ”How is your relationship going?” may be a poor reflection of the reality as well.
[10:55] Self-assessment: give yourself a score on how you’ve been doing in your relationship when it comes to:
Communication Conflict ConnectionIf you want the full picture, try it with your partner!
[15:08] Skill 1! Does this pandemic have you feeling like you live with a roommate? The Freemans offer a path to finding more romance — and no, it isn’t candles — it starts with raising your level of identification.
[20:18] A relationship or partnership is its own entity, like a business. A vision statement for your relationship is a good start — you can even include your kids!
[25:03] Skill 2! Dating? Flowers? Gifts? Those are bonuses, and it turns out romance isn’t tied to those. The Freemans offer that you should check into your love account for an imbalance between withdrawals and deposits.They also offer tangible examples of how you can increase your deposits and prevent unnecessary withdrawals.
[31:33] Skill 3! Don’t let it linger! Working through dissatisfaction quickly will improve behavior. Satisfaction check-ins are a great tool to add to your work belt, The Freemans offer their worksheet as a base to start with.
[38:06] Skill 4! Disagreements… Acknowledging that you cannot influence real change when coming in from a negative standpoint. Jocelyn and Aaron share the ways you can in fact improve your chances of influence through empathy.
[44:36] Accountability, consistency, and proactivity are key to making certain your relationship objectives are reached. The Freemans touch on three steps that can help you find empathy for your partner during disagreements.
[51:14] The 4 communication personality types! For a deeper dive into those, as well as an opportunity to win some free stuff, grab the book: The Argument Hangover.
[53:39] The Freemans open up a Q&A with the audience and Sachin opens up with his first question!
Do you have any tips for introducing these concepts into the home? How do you have deep conversations with a partner that goes silent in those situations? The Couples Workshop/dates? Do you have an affiliate program? How do you implement these tools when things are heated? What to do if a partner says they’re interested in personal development but they don’t follow through? What’s the most common issue you see with couples and how do you guide them?
