In this episode of the Lead on Purpose podcast, I sit down with Dr. Victoria Thompson, a clinical psychologist based in Christchurch, for an open and insightful conversation about relationships, communication, and personal growth. Joining us for the first time is my partner, Caroline, who brings her unique perspective to the discussion.

What We Cover:

• The importance of communication in relationships and its impact on life and work.
• Common communication challenges and how to navigate them.
• Practical strategies for improving connection and understanding.
• Balancing work and personal life when working with your partner.

Dr. Victoria provides invaluable insights into understanding how our personal experiences influence our interactions and offers actionable advice for creating healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Caroline and I openly share our experiences, challenges, and lessons learned as we navigate our relationship and business together. 

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to improve their relationships, both at home and in the workplace.
