It all started with a question...
“Why can I talk to pretty much anyone about anything… except the person I’m supposed to be closest with?”
But actually, before I got to that question, here’s where I was having a tough time…
- I found it hard to say what I was *actually* thinking and feeling.
- I was afraid how I would be perceived.
- I had difficulty understanding and articulating my boundaries.
- I regularly avoided communicating because I thought it would turn into conflict or complicate our relationship.
- I easily got stuck in my head, endlessly over-thinking.

Relationship unlock
Up until that time, I had *always* thought of myself as a really good communicator.
And despite all the things above that *I* was having a tough time with…
For some reason, I felt the need to change was my partner’s responsibility [not mine].
Once my significant other changed, things would get better.
It took me YEARS to change my perspective. Turns out… “not my problem” was not a useful story 
It also took the crashing and burning of that important relationship for me to realize my significant other was just the tip of the iceberg.
Turns out… the rest of that iceberg included my co-founder/business partner, our team, my parents, my sister, and even some of my close friends.
And then I realized…
My *biggest* challenge was being afraid to let down the people that I was the closest to.
Welcome to the beginning of my breakthrough.
How Openness
[+ Honesty]
Changed My Life
I started to realize that things like endlessly overthinking, avoiding communication, not articulating my boundaries, and not saying what I was *actually* thinking and feeling didn’t serve me or my relationship with anyone.
So I started to practice… one text, one email, one conversation at a time.
The beauty of being more open, more honest, and more direct was…
- I let go of the parts of myself I thought I needed to hide.
- I was less confused and had more clarity.
- I felt more confident.
- It was easier to collaborate with others
- I unlocked a new level of depth in my relationships.
Along the way I also started to share this story, and found a lot of people who were challenged by or struggling with an important relationship in their life too.

“This program not only improved my own communication skills, but also for those closest to me. Open, honest, and calm conversations are infectious, and the people around me couldn’t help but reciprocate communicating like this.”
—Katie, Entrepreneur & Former International Educator
“I originally joined this program for professional reasons. I didn’t expect it to influence me in such a personal way. Working with MCK not only helped me to improve the way I communicate with others, but also helped me to improve the way I think. I discovered new things and saw my colleagues in new ways. I also discovered a new “me” at the bottom of my heart.”
—Ying, NYU Shanghai; Former VP, Forbes 30U30
“I didn’t want to wake up in 5, 10, or 15 years, looking back and wishing I had made different decisions with my life and my relationships. I wanted some good questions. I wanted to rent MCK’s brain for a month.”
—Elijah, Fractional CMO
So whether you’re in the midst of navigating a challenging relationship right now OR you’re looking to be proactive about a relationship for the future…

Once upon a time the Relationship Breakthrough Bootcamp had it’s own LMS (learning management system). But busy people on the go use…
- email,
- WhatsApp, SMS,
- collaborative docs (like Google Docs),

So that’s what we’ve been using to keep things as simple, integrated with your current tools, and as effective as possible.

- Though most days suggested time spent is 30 minutes or less.
- We have made this work with the busiest of schedules and will ensure this works with yours 🙂
- Set the tone for your day by spending 15-30 mins to read a prompt (all days), watch a video (some days), and share your reflection with me. I’m there with you every day, ready to respond with feedback.
- Apply the daily prompt to each of your interactions. Get more out of each day and see the kind of progress that’s possible in just a month.
- Each daily exercise is a digital conversation. You answer on your time, I answer on mine.
- 8 of these exercise days you will engage someone in your life (your choice who).
- Once a week, we spend 45-60 mins together. First we focus on one most important situation of your choice.
- Then we discuss the week – what was good? what was challenging? Anything to tweak? Will you continue with your same focus or adjust?
Go all-in. Engage a little bit every day. The best habits are cultivated this way. Taking time to focus each day, day by day, makes a BIG difference.
