Making Relationships Work with Dr Jennifer Thomas

John chats to Dr Jennifer Thomas, a Motivational Speaker specialising in the 5 Love Languages and Communication. She is a Business Consultant, Psychologist, TedX speaker on ‘The 2 Essentials for Healthy Relationships.’ and Co-author of ‘The 5 Apology Languages’ and ‘Making Things Right at Work’. Her passion is to help people to find the match between how they are trying to express love and appreciation, express apologies, and what the other person in the relationship is looking for.  
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Relationship solutions and communication techniques are also very useful in the workplace. 
The 5 Love Languages are the 5 types of communication that we use within loving relationships, and understanding the dynamics between them can facilitate better communication.
The 5 Apology Languages are the different ways in which we make and accept apologies.
Regular maintenance is important in relationships including holidays, breaks and events spent with partners only.
It is not good communication to use the words ‘always’, ’never’, ’every’, ’all’ and ‘none’. They can result in sweeping generalities that can cause offence. 

BEST MOMENTS
‘Too often we tire ourselves out trying to guess what our partners want. My passion is to help people actually learn to ask those questions like ‘What do you need from me? What really lands with you?’-Jennifer
‘We have profiles for both Love Languages and Apology Languages and then we give the whole team the results of the profile so that they can refer back to it.’-Jennifer
‘You can lose sight of your own dreams and your own ambitions and what you want with your relationships as well.’-John
‘It really boils down to two simple things and that is that we need to be able to express love and appreciation to the people that are closest to us. That fills up the love tank. But there is a threat to love tank and that is when we mess up so the second essential is the Apology Languages.’-Jennifer
