Summary

Relational capital is a fundamental component of intellectual capital, representing the intrinsic value derived from an organization's relationships with external entities such as customers, vendors, and other key stakeholders. It encompasses the knowledge, capabilities, procedures, and systems developed through these external interactions. Entrepreneur Molly Bloom exemplifies the practical application of cultivating relational capital, drawing insights from her experiences in high-stakes poker, where she navigated complex relationships with celebrities, the Russian mob, and the Italian mob. Her journey, detailed in her memoir and the film *Molly's Game*, taught her crucial lessons about building trust, managing fear, and maintaining integrity, principles she now applies in sales coaching to foster human connection and enhance relational capital.
