Curve Benders
In the future of how we’ll work, live, play, and give, 15 forces will create dramatic headwinds, tailwinds, or turbulence in our lives and careers. Learning their relevance is no longer optional; it’s a necessity.
For most people learning is linear – they learn then they apply. We believe when it comes to relationships, a different lens is needed. Time and again, people enter our lives that dramatically alter both the direction and destination of our lives. I call enablers of this adaptive and accelerated non-linear growth, Curve Benders.
Conversely, those who detract us from our vision, prioritized pursuits, and sense of urgency in learning, growing, and the application of learned knowledge into performance, execution, and results are Fender Benders in our lives.
So, who are your Curve Benders and how do you find them? More importantly, how do you become one in the lives of others? And how can the Curve Bending mindset unlock the next level of enterprise value creation and profitable growth?

Relationship Economics®, 3rd Edition
Networking has been around as long as humans have been social animals. Yet, one could argue that it is also as useless and as unproductive as ever. NETworking is one letter away from NOTworking!
Nour’s seminal work, Relationship Economics®, 3rd Edition (Wiley), highlights that an intentional, strategic, and quantifiable engagement of one’s portfolio of relationships can dramatically accelerate their execution, performance, and results.
Once an individual internalizes this mindset, the shift becomes transformative from relying on brute force to achieving more with fewer resources, and ultimately greater relational value creation.
Beyond your educational foundation and your professional pedigree, your biggest asset is your portfolio of relationships. If you think of them as secondary “soft skills” or “nice to have”, you won’t develop the mindset, skillset, toolset, and ultimately the roadmap to turn everyday contacts into strategic relationships.
Pivotal ideas such as Relationship Currency®, Reputation Capital®, and Professional Net-Worth® will evolve your transactional contacts into transformational relationships.
Clarify your vision, optimize your processes, and elevate your capabilities to become a more relationship-centric organization.

How Will You Remain Relevant in the Future?
Co-Create
Customer-obsessed innovation, enhanced market insights, sustainable differentiation in competitive markets, real agility, and unparalleled responsiveness all come from leveraging collective intelligence. In our dynamic business environment, no one has all the answers.
When two or more highly valuable and strategic relationships such as customers, business partners, and employees, come together to creatively collaborate and deliver highly unique value, co-creation comes to life.
When you involve diverse stakeholders in the co-creation process a dramatically broader range of ideas and perspectives are uncovered. Participants feel a dramatically higher level of engagement, a sense of community, and real partnership toward long-term benefits, loyalty, and trust are established.
Rapid iteration, feed-forward, knowledge sharing, and collective learning while mitigating risk and creating sustainable practices all strengthen relationships amongst key stakeholders and deliver a unique offering as a competitive advantage.
