I'd like to start out by asking you a question: How do you find meaning in a fragmented world? If you had to boil it down to one thing, what would it be? I'll come back to this question, but first I want to share a bit of my story with you. When I started college at a Christian university, there were some painful realities in my life that I hadn't faced. The short version is that my mom checked out emotionally when I was very young, and left the family the summer after I finished fourth grade. I saw my mom periodically, but she wasn't very involved in my life after that point. This caused a lot of pain, confusion and emptiness for a nine year-old boy. The same summer that my mom left, I began to follow Christ.

Developed over more than 15 years’ research and practice, the Relational Health Audit, is a one-of-its-kind psychometric scorecard that helps clients assess the quality and diagnose the state of relationships in the context of a group, an organisation, between organisations, or simply between individuals.

To have a statement of relational purpose (i.e. pursuit of both vertical and horizontal relationships) in our constitutional documents and/or mission statements.
