Emotions cannot exist in isolation, and therefore the quality and depth of relationships one has with the world are integral to social and emotional intelligences. The growth-promoting relationship is a unique connection between two beings, where there is an intention from one or both beings to realize a deeper value for, greater expression of, and purposeful use of inner resources, directions, and meanings. The intent seeks to promote growth of the relationship and/or the other being, which can only be done through the unique and special relationship that blossoms from an encounter. This chapter focuses on building culturally diverse relationships through cultural humility and empathy.
