The book “It’s All About Relationships” is designed as a self-help book that contains a comprehensive overview of the Emotional and Relational Intelligence (ERQ) model and skills. This skill-based book is designed to help you develop and maintain healthy and happy relationships. The book describes how to use these skills in four important areas of your life: Personal, Work, Couple/Marriage and Family.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) contains four skills which are emotional awareness, emotional expression, emotional management and anger management. Relational Intelligence (RQ) also contains four relationship skills which are communication, conflict resolution, cohesion (closeness) and change (flexibility). The book contains in-depth information about each of these eight skills and provides suggestions on how to develop these skills to enhance all your relationships.

This book is even more helpful when paired with the online ERQ Assessment. The assessment provides personal information about your Emotional and Relational skills. Using your assessment results with relevant chapters in the book will enable you to develop more skills.

The ERQ Assessment is online and it provides you with 20 page ERQ Personal Report that identifies your skill levels in regard to Emotional Intelligence and Relational Intelligence. There are four Emotional skills which are: emotional awareness, emotional expression, emotional management and anger management. The four Relational skills are: communication, conflict resolution, cohesion (closeness) and change (flexibility).

The goal of the assessment is to identify how you now use these skills and provide suggestions on how you can improve each of these eight skills. In addition to exercises built into the assessment, the ERQ book, “It’s All about Relationships,”
