Relationship Rumble

Collaborate

Bring the relationship context you know deeply.

The Resonance Model becomes more useful when people who understand a particular relational context help us see what we cannot see alone.

We are interested in conversations with practitioners, researchers, facilitators, community leaders, and people with relevant lived experience who want to explore where the model fits, where it does not, and what it might help make visible.

Start a conversation

Contextual lenses

A lens asks how the model appears here.

A Resonance Model lens explores how relational movement appears in a particular community, practice, or kind of relationship. It preserves the core model while asking better questions about context, language, lived experience, risk, responsibility, and what useful application might look like.

A lens should not be created by simply renaming the model for a new audience. It should be shaped with people who know the context—and who are willing to test, challenge, and change our understanding.

Work already underway

The model is already travelling into different relationships.

Some contextual lenses and applications are already taking shape through writing, conversation, learning design, and facilitated experiences. They are at different stages, and none should be presented as finished.

Application framework

Business Relationship Management

The Resonance Model sits at the core of BRITE—the Business Relationship Intelligence Framework. BRITE brings the model together with skills and practices for navigating strategic relationships, recognizing dissonance, building shared meaning, and responding when relational capacity is under pressure.

Applied in facilitated sessions

Leadership and team relationships

This lens explores how pressure, power, feedback, competing expectations, identity, and available capacity affect relationships between leaders and their teams. Elements of this work have been used in facilitated sessions with higher-education leaders.

Ask about a leadership experience

In development

Neurodivergent relationships

This emerging lens explores how regulation, masking, communication differences, sensory and cognitive load, capacity, safety, and mutual interpretation may affect relational movement across neurotypes.

This work must continue to be shaped with people who bring relevant lived and professional experience.

In development

Teacher-student relationships

This emerging lens explores how regulation, trust, authority, identity, belonging, curiosity, and repair shape the relational environment in which teaching and learning occur.

The power differences within educational relationships make the perspectives of students and educators especially important.

We share these examples as evidence of movement—not completion. They are developing applications of the Resonance Model and remain open to challenge, contribution, testing, and change.

Begin with curiosity

The first step is a conversation.

You do not need a finished proposal. A first conversation might explore:

  • the relational context you understand deeply
  • who a lens might serve
  • what patterns or challenges you believe the model could help illuminate
  • where the current model may be incomplete or require challenge
  • the professional, research, community, cultural, or lived perspective you bring
  • what responsible exploration could look like

Some conversations may lead to a working session, a pilot, research, or the careful development of a lens. Others may simply leave both of us with better questions. That is still useful.

Explore carefully. Learn together.

Relationships are contextual. Any useful lens must be developed with respect for the people, knowledge, risks, and lived realities involved.

We are especially interested in collaborators who are willing to:

  • test the model rather than simply promote it
  • identify where its language or assumptions do not fit
  • distinguish professional expertise from lived experience while valuing both
  • involve people from the relevant context in meaningful ways
  • pay attention to safety, power, culture, accessibility, and unintended consequences
  • learn from what happens rather than overstate what the model can do

A conversation or collaboration inquiry does not create permission to reproduce, teach, license, certify, or commercialize the Resonance Model. Any future arrangement would depend on the people involved, the context, the intended use, and what is learned together.

What relationship context do you see differently?

Tell us a little about the context you know, what you are noticing, and why a conversation feels worthwhile. A few thoughtful sentences are enough.

Submitting this form begins a conversation. It does not create a partnership, endorsement, licence, or commitment from either side.
