Social Receiving Theory

Dr. Kahwajy’s powerful theory of interpersonal interaction has immediate application to real-world situations and has been shown to dramatically improve learning, teamwork, decision-making, and creativity. Her unique model of communication dissects the subtle differences that make an interaction either productive or counter-productive. She takes a systems approach to interactions that uncovers some laws of human nature and explains why people unwittingly work too hard and get in the way of their own best outcomes, how one person is sufficient to effect a change, and the skill of how to initiate solutions. She gets beyond descriptions of what to do and shares prescriptions of how to do it, including the often counter intuitive and seemingly paradoxical realities of succeeding with humility.

Her unparalleled ability to diagnose specific challenges and translate theory into learnable skills enables individual leaders or teams to quickly begin transforming themselves and their relationships to achieve breakthrough results and profound improvement.

Dr. Kahwajy developed her ideas over more than 25 years of academic study plus real-world application. At Stanford University she earned an MS in decision sciences, an MBA from the Graduate School of Business, and a PhD in organizational behaviour with a minor in social psychology. She also holds a BS with distinction in systems engineering from the University of Virginia.

She continues to advise executives and teach in top executive MBA programs worldwide.
