Lessons from Gossip Girl...
One of the great benefits of my daughter Bri relocating to New York from L.A. is that I occasionally get to dine with her while we watch television. She controls the remote. Back in the day, I frequently watched her shows with her and, besides this being fun, I always found the “show” to be a great stimulus to discuss life issues that she was experiencing or would inevitably have to confront, as well as helping me tune in to the same situations. You might say that we were tutored by television. Such was the case a Monday ago. Those who know my daughter know these two points: first,... 
Mother Nature’s Parenting Advice...
Evolutionary sciences tell us that regardless of your sex, Mother Nature has hardwired you to be a caregiver. If she hadn’t, parents would not feel compelled to nurture their young, leading to infant mortality and quick extinction. From an evolutionary perspective, both sexes are hardwired to nurture and protect their children because it enhances life for the individual, family, community, and of course the world. I can’t think of a better expert on parenting than Mother Nature—she’s been doing it for a long time and she’s raised all sorts of kids. If you asked her... 
Want a Better Marriage? If Yes, Add Some Emotional Intelligence...
Would you like your marriage to be significantly more rewarding? If you answer yes, I am not going to recommend you and your partner visit a marriage counselor or that you spend money to attend a marriage encounter weekend. I will recommend that you sweeten your relationship by adding some emotional intelligence, EI for short. Emotional Intelligence. You’ve heard the term. I will define it as the ability to use your emotions, feelings, moods — and the emotions, feelings, moods of others-as a source of information that allows you to make better choices so that you can navigate more effectively... 
The Real Spirit of Anger...
Anger! If you are like most people, you have probably experienced it in the last 24 hours and in the last year or two, heard the word ten thousand times. Maybe on ESPN or CNN, on the phone or in your home, anger permeates our lives. For most of us, Anger resonates beastly. Yelling and screaming, abusive language, physical abuse in many cases, is common associations. Poor health-ranging from migraine headaches, obesity, and cardiac problems, are just a few of the consequences that we all know anger touts. It is easy to see why anger is one of the deadly sins. But is it really? The fact is,... 
Instinctual Conversation Skills...
How do we relate to others? Many ways, language being one of the most common. The words you use communicate emotions, evoke memories, clarify your intention. You can also use words to make your point and achieve your goal, especially in the context of sales. I recently gave a presentation in Atlanta to a group of financial advisors and explained that we are all hardwired with specific instinctual tools that help us thrive. Thus, using specific instinctual words in client conversations tap into the hardwiring of the client, and thus, the message/advice/recommendations become more acceptable because...
