Parents: Do you enjoy a win-win relationship with each child (especially a teenager)?
Employees: Do you have a relationship challenge at work (or in your marriage at home)?
Students: Are your relationships healthy or toxic. How's your relationship with yourself?
Self-Employed: Do you know how your happiness level affects business relationships?
Knowing why and how to use the win-win principle is vital for all satisfying relationships.
Please know this: there are basically four ways you can interact with others:
1 - Win-Lose (You want to win, so you make them lose . The most common way)
2 - Win-Win (You want to win in your relationships, and you want them to win also.)
3 - Lose-Win (You let yourself lose so they win. Then you try to justify being their victim.)
4 - Lose-Lose (You are willing to lose just to make them lose too. Revenge!)
This club advocates and teaches number 2, the win-win way, because each of the other three ways is counter-productive to rewarding relationships. For a full understanding of the four ways, you can see a free 40 page e-book guide at: http://www.TheWin-WinClub.com/relationships.pdf
The Win-Win Club also encourages members to raise their personal level of happiness - for two reasons: First, it feels good to be happier, and second, research shows that the best predictor of a successful relationship is your level of happiness before you enter it. (Example: 23,000 people followed over 15 years found that those who got married and stayed married were happier about life - even before meeting their mates - than those whose marriages didn't last.) And success in sales correlates highly with a salesperson's own level of happiness (because that affects the quality of their relationships with customers and clients).
A Principal Who Teaches A Principle - The Win-Win Principle
During my many years as a school principal (a kind one), a counselling specialist, and a Board of Education Chairman, I dealt with a thousand relationships which miserably failed the win-win test:
>students vs. other students,
>teachers vs. students,
>parents vs. teachers and administrators
>parents vs. their own children.
And as a presenter across the country of business seminars on emotional fitness (which is even more important than physical fitness), I repeatedly heard about emotional distress at work due to problem relationships in the workplace. The high correlation between interpersonal relationships and personal performance at work was never more evident to me. Yes, in business, as in life, relationships matter.
So I decided to create The Win-Win Club to champion the win-win principle, and help members improve their relationships at home, or at work, or at school.
How Does It Work? When one of the two people within any relationship changes, the entire relationship dynamic will change. For example, when a parent-child relationship is adversarial (where a parent may love the kid, but doesn't like him much), and the parent learns to use the win-win principle, the parent-child relationship will invariably improve. Both the parent and child will end up happier with their lives because relationships and happiness are highly related.
And for all kinds of interpersonal relationships, the club teaches this:
Any negative people in my life can harm me,
Depending on my response to them.
But I can choose my response,
I can control my reaction,
By using my greatest power,
My power of choice.
So, it's not what they do that matters,
It's what I do about it that counts.
Club Meetings: Our meetings are held bi-weekly via teleconferencing, so members may attend either on the phone or internet. All meetings are free. Note: It is commonly assumed that free things are mostly worthless because "you only get what you pay for." Before you assume that now, remember that oxygen is free, a beautiful sunset is free. Yes, the Win-Win Club offers true value free of charge (thanks to voluntary donations from happy members).
Who May Join This Club?
1, Anyone of any age who has someone in their lives (at home, at work, or at school) where the relationship is obviously failing. Members must be willing to try the win-win principle in relating to others (even if that means first examining their relationship with themselves).
2, Those who now have "okay" relationships with the people in their lives, but realize that "okay" is an enemy of "excellent," They join The Win-Win Club to improve existing relationships in two ways: 1, by applying the win-win principle better, and 2, by enhancing their own happiness which, in turn, will enhance their relationships.
3, Those who are facing a particular personal problem which is sabotaging satisfying relationships with others (e.g., low self esteem, depression, alcoholism). The Club teaches this: Before improving relationships with others, it is often necessary to work on your relationship with yourself. That's because personal problems like these usually result in a lack of self-respect, and it is extremely difficult to respect and respond effectively to others if you lack respect for yourself.
Big Benefits of Membership:
The Win-Win Club meetings will enable you to hear from other people in similar situations and share in their struggles, successes, support, and suggestions. You'll receive both guidance and inspiration to make positive changes in difficult relationships with others - and possibly in the relationship you have with yourself. Either will result in a significant rise in your personal level of happiness.
Guarantee:
With your membership, your relationships will improve. Therefore, you will be happier, because good relationships are foundational to happiness. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or you will receive a refund of 1000 times your club membership fees. (Sorry, that won't actually buy you anything because currently there are no membership fees, and 1000 times zero is zero.)
Further Benefits:
Attend the meetings in the comfort of your own home. If you want to say or ask anything, and desire to be completely anonymous, use your first name only, or even a pseudonym. (This allows for full openness and honesty with no need for a mask.) If you don’t want to participate, that’s fine, just listen in. For any meeting, you can e-mail questions you would like addressed.
In The Win-Win Club, members are always treated respectfully. A member who wishes to make a commitment to reach some goal, may be gently held accountable for that choice. At club meetings, members are invited to share from their own knowledge and life experiences when that could assist others. Of course, members are free to quit the club at any time - there's no contract.
In the gap between a poor relationship and a win-win relationship lies your potential to change it. To close that gap, join The Win-Win Club. It's all about happy relationships.
