How to Build Exceptional Relationships
Positive relationships are immensely important in helping you to grow as a human being and achieve personal and professional success. Forming these relationships can sometimes feel like an uphill climb. However, with the right mindset and a few techniques, you can learn how to build your relationships and move them from shallow, to exceptional.
For over 20 years, Carole Robin PhD taught the Interpersonal Dynamics course at the prestigious Stanford Business school. This signature course, affectionately known as “Touchy Feely” by MBA students at the school, teaches them how to build more productive, professional relationships
In order to increase access to the tools taught as part of this course, Carole co-authored a book with her fellow lecturer David Bradford. The book, Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends and Colleagues, distils the concepts of the Interpersonal Dynamics course. Through research-backed insights coupled with relatable scenarios, Carole and David share the knowledge of a combined 75 years of teaching business students and corporate executives how to improve their existing relationships and build new ones.
In this Masterclass, Carole takes us through the concepts included in their book as well as the touchy-feely course that has helped thousands of professionals. Join us as we deep dive into how we can build the type of relationships in which we feel fully understood and supported for who we are. By building this kind of relationship, we are able to form meaningful connections with our colleagues and other professionals, giving us the opportunity to collaborate towards achieving our goals and aspirations.
Prepare for this informative session by reading Carole’s book and putting together any questions that you may have. We will have an intimate and open discussion on how best we can grow our relationships.

I believe that those of us who are privileged enough to be educated, healthy, and part of powerful networks should not be doing easy things. The only way to justify our privilege is to do the hard things that society demands of us — to solve tough problems and create opportunities for others. I launched The Room to bring the most ambitious ‘doers’ together to do these hard things that will change the world. I welcome you to be a part of our story and join this global community as we make history together.
