Guiding audiences with honest conversations, real-world wisdom, and actionable skills that deepen connection at home, at work, and in communities.
Terry Real, bestselling author and founder of Relational Life Therapy, has helped thousands heal relationships through 30+ years of clinical experience, combining deep insight with tools for lasting love and connection.
This keynote introduces Terry’s concept of Fierce Intimacy.
Â
How to keep passion and creativity alive by telling the truth to those you care about, at work and at home. When we stop taking each other on, clearing the air, and resolving our issues, resentment builds, generosity dries up, and passion is the first casualty.
Â
We stop telling the truth because we fear it won’t go well… and the truth is, unless you know how, it might. The answer? Joining Through The Truth—the art of telling someone difficult truths in a way that leaves them feeling closer to you, that you’re on their side. Take a radical leap into honesty with the skills to match.
A great relationship boosts your immune system, opens your heart, and keeps you vital and creative. Relational strife can be a terrible stressor, literally making you ill.
Yet most deep relationships sometimes go through very challenging periods. For years, Terry has spoken to audiences about “normal marital hatred”—and not one person has ever asked what he means by that. The truth is intimacy has the power to break and remake us—healing our deepest wounds. But not the way we think.
This keynote teaches you how to leverage your relationship to improve—even transform—yourself. Because we all marry our unfinished business—and that’s a potential blessing.
