Description

Your leadership doesn’t stop at the driveway.

Your ratio follows you home.

If your family tracked your positive-to-negative ratio, would it match the one you think you’re running at work?

In this episode, Chris takes the ratio conversation out of the dealership and straight into the living room — where it matters most. Because the people who feel your ratio the deepest aren’t your employees. They’re the ones who call you Dad, Mom, Husband, Wife.

Drawing from Dr. John Gottman’s groundbreaking research — which predicts divorce with 94% accuracy based on communication ratios — this episode reveals a hard truth:

The same ratio that builds great teams

is the ratio that builds great marriages and families.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your home is the true training ground for leadership
• How negative-heavy communication creates emotional withdrawal
• The “magic” 5:1 ratio that builds safety, connection, and trust
• Why correction without connection damages relationships
• How your ratio becomes the emotional interest rate you charge the people you love

Insight to Action:

Pick one person at home today.

Deliver five small positives before you correct anything.

Simple. Intentional. Powerful.

Because when your home can breathe,

your leadership at work gets stronger.

Shift the ratio in one place —

and it transforms everything.
