Michael Spyker always has been interested in the wellbeing and spirituality of people. He is qualified in counseling and holds a Master of Arts degree. Through family life with five children, and by working in different kinds of organisations over the years, Michael began to question the relational dynamics in both these areas. Questions like: - Who am I, actually? What is good relational parenting all about? How do I make an affirming friend? What are the serious relational mistakes made in business management? How damaging is all this? How can improvement best happen?

How Relating Really Works! is the outcome of these continuing reflections. It aims to maximise relational potential and to minimise hurt. It works because the basics aren’t rocket science and lend themselves well to creative presentation.
