INSEAD professor and HBR contributor Jennifer Petriglieri goes beyond the usual relationship bromides and one-size-fits-all tactics to answer the essential questions working couples grapple with, offering fresh perspective, substantial research, and a framework to help them thrive throughout their professional lives.

  • A fresh, holistic, and more substantial take on this topic than what is out there.
  • Framework geared to couples at different stages of their careers/relationships.
  • Engaging, varied stories highlighting couples from across the professional spectrum: from early career to mid-life to legacy planning.
  • Based on years of research across more than 30 countries and cultures.
  • Practical guidance in form of specific questions, exercises, and activities that couples can use.

Audience: Broad, general audience of professionals, execs, and entrepreneurs in relationships with partners who are also professionals, execs, and entrepreneurs.
