This is the original Make a Difference that started the EAGLE Leadership Series and has lead to the expansion of Dr. Little's executive coaching work spreading to a national and an international audience. As an authority on personality and leadership development, Dr. Little asserts that the greatest myth about relationships is that they "just happen." The truth is that all relationships are intentional, and all relationships take work and investment. If you are not intentionally investing in your relationships, they will gradually become unhealthy, and eventually the relationship will end.
He reminds us that relationships are either growing or dying, and these growths or deaths can be positive or negative, but here's the good news: you get to choose the relationships in which you're going to invest You get to choose which relationships you want to survive. With the right tools, you can make significant improvements in the relationships that are the most important to you. This is the power of the Make a Difference model. It gives you the tools to improve relationships with those you love, live with and lead.
