Transforming the world through healthier relationships in workplaces, schools, and communities.
GTI organizes and activates a movement of like-minded people who care deeply about how they show up in the world — at work, in schools, in their homes, and in their communities. It delivers an evidence-based solution in relational wellness and guides people toward healthier ways of leading, learning, living, and relating.
Relationships are not a soft skill. They are foundational infrastructure for education, peace, health, families, and human flourishing.
Mission
GTI transforms the world through human dignity and healthier relationships in schools, homes, workplaces, and communities through proven science and programs developed by leading experts.
Vision
GTI envisions a world where people treat themselves and each other with respect and decency regardless of hierarchy, ability, or personal choice. The result is healthier, more humane, and more effective outcomes in work, learning, intimacy, community life, and the culture at large.
Values
GTI prioritizes decency, human dignity, and the concept of relationship across all ages, sectors, and states — treating every person with respect, delivering programming grounded in peer-reviewed neuroscience, and working at every level — individual, organizational, and policy — because lasting transformation requires all three.
Community & Advocacy
GTI activates a global community of practice dedicated to relational wellness, connecting schools, workplaces, communities, NGOs, and policymakers around healthier ways of leading, learning, living, and relating.

Curriculum and Coaching
GTI equips educators, organizational leaders, practitioners, and individuals with evidence-based programs, coaching, coursework, and certification pathways that build relational skills for lasting change.
Research & Reporting
GTI conducts, synthesizes, and reports on relational wellness research, building the evidence base that informs programs, supports accountability, and advances the field across sectors.
GTI partners with the Center for Neuroeconomics Studies at Claremont Graduate University to connect relational practice with neuroscience-informed research, measurement, and evaluation.

The world is confronting a growing relational crisis. Across schools, workplaces, homes, and communities, our systems are becoming increasingly disconnected from the human relationships that allow people to thrive. Loneliness, distrust, polarization, burnout, and social fragmentation are rising while many institutions become increasingly transactional and less human.
In the process, society is losing its relational intelligence — the ability to build trust, foster belonging, navigate differences, and care for one another effectively.
But this trajectory can be changed.
Healthy relationships are among the strongest predictors of mental health, physical health, learning, resilience, economic mobility, and human flourishing. Yet healthy relationship skills are rarely taught systematically, made widely accessible, or treated as a civic priority.
GTI exists to help change that.
We believe relational intelligence can be cultivated across schools, workplaces, homes, and communities — and that when relationships improve, people and systems improve with them.
Every person has a fundamental right to healthy relationships in all channels of life.
People matter. All people matter. We need each other to grow.
Every person deserves equal access to healthy relationships and relationship skill building.
Advance ecosystems: prosperity arises by breaking down barriers, bridging differences, and building trust.
Communities and countries are transformed by lifting up their people: growth comes from the bottom-up and the top down.
We must protect, guide, and nourish our children.
“When we invest in relational wellness, we invest in the foundation of every thriving organization, school, and community.”
Relational wellness shapes every corner of human experience.
Healthy relationships are a determinant of physical and emotional well-being. GTI's relational frameworks reduce chronic stress, build resilience, and support the conditions under which people heal and flourish.
Safe, trusting relationships are the precondition for learning. GTI equips educators and students with the relational skills that make classrooms — and lives — places where growth is possible.
Decency and dignity at work are not soft skills — they are productivity drivers. GTI prepares leaders and teams to build cultures where people show up, contribute fully, and stay.
The patterns we learn at home shape everything that follows. GTI supports families in building the relational foundations that carry forward across generations.
How we treat each other shapes how we treat the world around us. GTI's relational frameworks build the trust and collective responsibility needed to care for our communities, our nature, and our surroundings.
Relationships drive health, business, learning, and happiness.
