How to improve relationships intentionally is not about trying harder. It’s about applying the same clarity and strategy you already use in business to the relationships that matter most.

In this episode of The Client Code Podcast, Carol Kabaale sits down with Dr Robin Buckley to explore why so many high-performing people leave their relationships to chance and how small, intentional shifts can transform connection at work and at home.

You’ll learn:
→ Why strategy matters just as much in relationships as it does in leadership
→ How intentional check-ins prevent conflict before it starts
→ What neuroscience explains about overthinking, avoidance, and communication
→ How leaders can improve relationships without making them feel heavy or forced

This conversation bridges psychology, neuroscience, and real-world leadership experience — offering grounded, practical insights you can apply immediately.
