Why is attunement so important in your relationship?

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

Attunement is defined as becoming receptive, aware, or accustomed to something, but it also means "to make harmonious," and harmony is what we're aiming for when improving your relationship.

Attunement can help build trust in a relationship, but it's not as intuitive as those definitions sound. To help, we've created an acronym out of the word ATTUNE to guide you through the steps it takes to attune to your partner's emotions:

Awareness of your partner’s emotion;
Turning toward the emotion;
Tolerance of two different viewpoints;
Understand your partner;( try to)
Non-defensive responses to your partner;
and responding with Empathy.

While this process includes many of our other approaches—turning toward, responding with empathy, and validating different perspectives—following it will help you both attune to each other and create emotional harmony.

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
