Different Languages

Men and Women do not actually speak different languages, what is different is how the message of that language is delivered.  Working with different communication styles has been the journey I have been on while writing Bear and Butterfly, and I really want to share what I have learned with you. In Bear and Butterfly I break […]

Information

It is one of the most basic of all communication truths; Information is Power.  One of the challenges we have in today’s world is that we are bombarded with information, some of this information is true, some questionable, and some of that information is outright false.  In this bombardment of information it is quite easy

It’s OK

It’s OK to feel sad, it’s OK to feel happy.  It’s OK to doubt ourselves, It’s OK to walk in absolute confidence.  Way too often in the world of positive thinking we get the idea that when we inevitably find ourselves feeling out of sorts that we are doing something wrong.  This is simply not

Child Abuse

Those very words; Child Abuse, are an assault on the senses.  Personally I see no redeeming qualities associated with Child Abuse.  When it comes to the specific definitions of Child Abuse things get a little fuzzy, but there are some things I might consider universally recognized as abuse; berating a child, throwing things at a

Believe in Yourself

Believing in yourself is not the same thing as believing in your possibility, your product or your job.  Believing in yourself has to do with believing in the person YOU are, the person behind the things you do.  The most successful sales people are never selling a product, they are selling themselves.  They are selling a
