If you had to reverse engineer a healthy relationship, what would it look like? What components would you deem critical to a thriving and engaging relationship? Let’s face it; many business leaders find it challenging to navigate work and family life. Thankfully, there are generous leaders like Jason, who are willing to share their story and what works well with their family. Here are the four aspects that Jason and his family use to touch base and keep the lines of communication open.
- Check-in. How are you today? How has your week been, what have been the major issues that have affected you good or bad?
- Financial assessment. Lessons in money management.
- Health. Physical, mental, emotional.
- Relationships.
What aspects would you add to Jason’s list? Do you have a similar approach to the relationships in your life? Learn more helpful insights from Jason’s story by listening to this episode!
One of the reasons Jason and his family use this method to keep the lines of communication open is due to the death of his oldest daughter. As you can imagine the challenge of losing a child at a young age, is not easy - Jason and his family have had to draw upon all their strength and that of others to forge ahead. Using this time of grief as a way to focus on what is most important in life - Jason moved his family back to Canada, where friends and family are. What can you learn from Jason’s story?
