About

Ugluu is about people learning to build relationships that stick. It is a place where you can come to learn from a number of people who, like you, are living life with other people and learning every day how to make their relationships more powerful, more dynamic, and more fulfilling.

Ugluu began with a chance online encounter between two writers with different backgrounds, different approaches, and different perspectives who connected on a common vision of finding new, better, and more effective ways of communicating and building relationships with other people.

We have both learned that it takes just one broken friendship to realize how much strong relationships give life special meaning. Our most precious belongings are warm memories, people we can count on and times we look forward to with others. They help us thrive.

But what is the glue that sticks us together? How can we make every moment more meaningful, productive and fun? How can we forge deeper, more authentic relationships at work and in our personal lives? How do we keep vital connections from becoming unglued?

Just as a recovering engineer and a former journalist forged a friendship that began online and led to the creation of this group blog, you, too, may find kindred spirits here that lead to a project-making partnership. (That would delight us.) Maybe you will gain an insight or pick-up a practical tip that will improve your existing personal and professional relationships. (We would like that as well.)

Each week, you will find a new, actionable insights from one of our extraordinary guest blogger. Our guest bloggers include people from a wide range of experiences and perspectives. Each one brings something special to the Ugluu community.

We invite you to join us here. Add your advice, favorite saying, book, example, cautionary note/tale or other resource. Every contribution builds on every other contribution. Every perspective strengthens the Ugluu community.

We believe in rewarding people who participate. Your good advice will be rewarded. Each week, we will highlight a Featured Commenter who will receive two gift e-books, LikeAbility by Kare Anderson and The Coach by Guy Harris. We are excited about what we can do together. We are happy to have you join us in this collaborative work. We look forward to creating Ugluu with and for you.
