NOTE: From Carl Rogers: On Becoming a Person (1961), Chapter 14. The “Rogerian triad” was created for the therapeutic relationship. However, it can be useful for Coaches, the Self And Other relationship, and one’s relationship w/“Self.”

A “Multarity” is an interdependency of more than two. (See Figure, below):

There are three points in the “relationship triangle” — two SUPPORT and one CHALLENGE:

SUPPORT:
1) Unconditional positive regard; and 2) Empathy – in the form of listening

CHALLENGE:
3) Congruence – honesty w/respect, or “tough-love”

The Rogerian triad or “Rogerian Multarity” is part of our “SOAR” process:

Share your intention
Own your impact
Abolish blame
Restore relationships
