We make it simple to build great relationships

Relationships are challenging!

Especially if you believe the lie that…

  • …you don’t have the right personality.
  • …great relationships come naturally and with little effort.
  • …you need to be lucky enough to find the “right” person.
  • …if your relationship is struggling, you’re probably in the wrong relationship.

Here’s the real reason relationships are challenging.

They are complex!

In order to master any complex behavior (like playing basketball, learning self-defense, or playing  the guitar) you have to:

  • Break it down into simple, bite size steps that you can practice. 
  • Practice each step over and over again until it comes naturally.
  • Combine the simple steps together to create mastery. 

At Heart Tools, we have created a step by step plan that will help you master the skills and the tools that you need to build great relationships in every area of your life.
