About Us
“We believe that achieving success is only part of the story. If you want a happy ending it must also meet your deepest needs.”
Dr. Todd Linaman
Whether you want to expand your professional or business success or successfully overcome personal life challenges, at Relational Advantage we have the experience and expertise to help you meet your goals.
But we know that these victories can seem hollow if you don’t also get a sense of deep meaning and purpose from achieving them. That’s why we take an all-encompassing, in-depth approach to serving our clients.
Helping people and companies live, work and relate well since 2002.
Relational Advantage, Inc. is a personal and professional development company that was founded to help individuals and organizations turn potential into higher levels of growth and performance.
To that end, we teach people how to live, work and relate well by building strong, healthy relationships and organizational cultures. These, in turn, lead to greater personal wellness and happiness, professional success, and business profitability.
To help solution-focused and goal-oriented men and women maximize their personal growth and professional success, we provide high quality professional counseling and coaching services and resources.
It’s all in how you define success.
At RAI, we believe that your true success is not measured simply by what you achieve, acquire or accomplish. It also involves how much you can experience genuine joy, meaning and purpose along the way.
We also believe that the foundation of your success is mainly built upon your ability to clearly understand yourself and to effectively relate well with others. Once you fully develop both of these qualities, you will possess the Relational Advantage: How to live, work, and relate well!
