Relational intelligence

Relational intelligence is a person's capacity to read the dynamics within a relationship and respond to them skillfully. Beyond understanding individual people, it involves sensing what is happening between two or more people, the tensions and the wordless exchanges. This intelligence is decisive in softening conflicts, building trust, and noticing where a relationship is blocked. The coach both develops this intelligence in the client and constantly uses it in their own practice. A person who can read a relationship sees the real exchange beneath the words.
