195. This One Thing Will Improve Your Relationships: Making and Answering Bids
About this episode
There’s one tool that will improve all your relationships. It’s not hard to do and it creates emotional connection and trust in seconds. It’s something that marriage guru, Dr. John Gottman, calls “Bids.” But bids aren’t just great in a marriage, they’ll transform any relationship. Today I’m going to teach you what they are (your partner, kids and friends have been making bids and you don’t even realize it) and how to use them to create a deeper connection in any relationship.
