Life coach and author Jaemin Frazer believes that ‘don’t change the people you love’ may be the single worst piece of relationship advice ever given. This may sound confronting – but the stark reality is that if you don’t find a way to change those you love, there’s a high chance your needs will not be met. You’ll be left feeling resentful and frustrated, and what started out as a loving partnership will deteriorate into a managed arrangement. Developed and refined through over 15,000 coaching sessions, Jaemin explains why he developed the groundbreaking Leverage framework and how his new book will help you improve the quality of your relationships – starting with your relationship with yourself.
