Relationship Skills Module - Interpersonal Effectiveness for Coaches

The Relationship Skills Your Clients Are Missing (And It's Costing Them Everything)

Here's what most coaches miss: emotional struggles almost always involve other people.

Your clients don't just want to feel better—they want better relationships. With their partners. Their kids. Their colleagues. Their friends. Their families.

But here's the problem...

Nobody taught them how to:

Ask for what they need without feeling selfish or aggressive
Say no without guilt destroying them afterward
Set boundaries that people actually respect
Handle conflict without either exploding or shutting down
Maintain self-respect while staying connected to people they care about
Navigate the impossible choice between "relationship" and "self"

So they end up doing what everyone does:

Either they sacrifice themselves to keep the peace (and slowly build resentment until something breaks), or they push for what they want and damage relationships in the process.

Neither approach works. And both leave your clients feeling stuck, misunderstood, and exhausted.

What if you could teach them a third way?

A way to get what they need WITHOUT being manipulative or aggressive. A way to maintain relationships WITHOUT sacrificing self-respect. A way to handle conflict that brings people CLOSER instead of pushing them apart.

That's exactly what this module gives you.

Introducing: The Interpersonal Effectiveness Module

Interpersonal effectiveness is the #1 reason people seek coaching.

Because here's the truth: Most of your clients' goals involve other people. Getting promoted at work. Improving their marriage. Having difficult conversations with family. Setting boundaries with demanding friends.

And until now, you've been trying to help them reach those goals without giving them the relationship skills they actually need.

This module changes that.

Inside, you'll get 6 evidence-informed skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy—the same techniques used in therapy to help people with the most difficult relationship patterns transform how they connect with others.

But here's what makes this different from therapy: These aren't just skills for "difficult" clients. These are universal communication skills that EVERY person needs, whether they're conflict-avoidant or conflict-prone, whether they struggle with people-pleasing or being too aggressive.

This is how healthy people communicate. And now you can teach it to your clients in a way that makes sense for coaching.

What's Inside: 6 Relationship Skills That Actually Work

This isn't theory. This is a complete, step-by-step system for teaching interpersonal effectiveness to your clients.

DEAR MAN: Get What You Need

The proven 7-step formula for asking effectively: Describe the situation, Express feelings, Assert your request, Reinforce the positive, stay Mindful, Appear confident, Negotiate. Your clients will stop avoiding important conversations and start getting results.

GIVE Skills: Maintain Relationships

How to ask for things while keeping the relationship strong: Be Gentle, act Interested, Validate their experience, use an Easy manner. Perfect for clients who worry that asking for what they need will damage their connections.

FAST: Keep Self-Respect

The self-respect formula: Be Fair, no unnecessary Apologies, Stick to values, be Truthful. Teach clients how to advocate for themselves without sacrificing their integrity or feeling like they have to apologize for having needs.

Boundary Setting That Works

Clear, consistent, kind boundaries that people actually respect. No more wishy-washy "maybe" boundaries that nobody takes seriously. No more aggressive boundaries that burn bridges. Just clean, effective boundaries that work.

Middle Path Thinking

How to escape black-and-white thinking in relationships. Teach clients to find the "both/and" instead of getting stuck in "either/or." Essential for clients who feel trapped between impossible choices.

Walking the Middle Path

Advanced dialectical thinking for relationships: balancing acceptance and change, validation and problem-solving, closeness and autonomy. This is how you help clients navigate the nuanced reality of human connection.

Each skill includes: Clear explanations of when and why to use it, step-by-step instructions your clients can follow immediately, real-world examples they'll recognize from their own lives, and coaching prompts to help them practice in session and between sessions.

This isn't just information. This is a complete teaching system you can use starting TODAY.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to be trained in DBT to use these skills?

No. While these skills come from DBT, they're adapted specifically for coaching contexts. Everything is explained in plain language with clear examples. If you're a certified coach, you have the training you need to teach these skills effectively.

Q: Will this work with my specific coaching niche?

Yes. Everyone has relationships. Whether you coach executives, parents, entrepreneurs, or anyone else, these skills are universally applicable. The examples and applications will vary, but the core principles work across all coaching niches.

Q: My clients already know they "should" communicate better. How is this different?

This isn't generic advice like "use I statements" or "be assertive." These are specific, step-by-step formulas your clients can follow. DEAR MAN, GIVE, and FAST give them an actual structure to follow, not just a vague principle to try to remember.

Q: What if my clients have really difficult relationship situations?

These skills were developed for exactly those situations. DBT was created for people with extreme relationship difficulties. If your client's situation feels "too hard," these skills can handle it. That said, always refer to therapy when appropriate—these are coaching tools, not substitutes for clinical treatment.

Q: How long does it take to learn and start using these skills?

You can start teaching these skills to clients immediately. Many coaches introduce DEAR MAN or FAST in their very next session after getting this module. Clients can start seeing results within days as they begin practicing the skills in real conversations.

Q: What if the other person in my client's relationship won't change?

That's the beauty of these skills—they work even when the other person doesn't change. Your client learns to show up differently, ask more effectively, and maintain their self-respect regardless of the other person's response. Results come from their behavior change, not requiring others to change.

Q: Can I teach these skills in group coaching or courses?

Absolutely. These skills work beautifully in group settings. Many coaches use them in workshops, group programs, and online courses. The group context often enhances learning as clients hear how others apply the skills in different situations.

Q: Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. Try the module for 14 days. If it doesn't enhance your coaching practice, just email us for a full refund. No questions asked. We're confident you'll find these skills invaluable, but we want you to feel completely secure in your investment.
