Most Current Standards & Practices Manual

Here is the current Relationship Toolshop® Leader Standards & Practices Manual. 

All Leader Applicants and Certified Leaders are expected to read the entire manual (3 parts), even parts for certifications you don’t [plan to] have, so you understand how they all are inter-related. You will sign off that you “have read and understand the most current edition of the S&P Manual” when first applying for certification and each year in your Annual Report. It’s your responsibility to return here each year to review the manual. The first page of each part indicates the last date it was revised.

To read the S&P manual (and access the forms):
  • Just click on the link in the left-hand menu or below for the part you want to read.  
    • Note: The S&P manual changes too often for mass printing/distribution, so it is available at no charge on-line. To request a printed manual be mailed to you, send an email to SPcommittee@RelationshipToolshop.com
  • You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. You can download this FREE program by clicking on the icon to the right or here for download and installation instructions.
  • You will need to open, edit, and save Microsoft Word documents. (Apple users: The Mac’s equivalent to Windows Notepad, Text Edit, will open most Word .Doc files. Mac users can also use the Macintosh specific edition of Microsoft Office – this includes Word.)
