Relational transparency is acquiring the ability to form genuine, open connections with people. Being open and transparent to generate the trust and cooperation within the workplace and/or other atmospheres in which is needed.I would like to make this change because I tend to struggle being completely transparent. This change would help me solve problems and share understandings between business environments and other activities such as personal lives.This change will impact not only my life, but as well as my Fianc�s, my mom and dad. It will impact my Fianc�s life because I fail to always express my feelings and emotions. I also believe this change will impact my mom and dad's life because I tend to rely on them when it comes to decision making instead of having self-confidence.��Week 1:How the first week went for my targeted changeMy first week was a struggle practicing relational transparency.
