I heartily agree with you, and have often preferred many of the behaviors your describe, attributing to me (as do many of my women friends)..... so it makes for an often confusing and sometimes frustrating interaction... yet well worth the effort when we can bring out the best side in others and ourselves and spiral up into camaraderie and mutual support rather down into criticism and worse

Why We Seeking Meaning in Most Any Action, Sometimes Getting Us Into Trouble
Even when shown circles, triangles and other geometric objects randomly moving about on a screen, we tend to turn them into familiar objects. Then we instinctively attempt to determine what they mean, a study found. Two examples: 1. “When asked what they had been watching, the subjects used ...

Bring Them Closer by Bringing Out Their Better Side
Lovable fools are often picked first over competent jerks. If that pricks your interest here are five ways to warm up others. 1. Sandwich uncomfortable or otherwise or bad news between two pieces of good news. This “sandwiching” method enables others to hear both the bad and the good news a...

Glenn,
Thank you for your interest.
Those questions on biznik were specifically for us small business owners there, and related to the power of profitable partnering, as you know - something I cover on my blog How We Partner . On this blog I cover "communicate to connect"-related topics.
When Caught Off-guard
Wincing I glanced down. It hadn’t taken much to make that small blister appear in the hollow of my palm, that most tender of places on one’s hand. It’s my writing hand where a thin flap of skin now folded back. I’d just planted 30 daffodil bulbs in my garden but had neglected to wear gl...

Feel you flubbed the last speech you gave?

Ben
I heartily agree with the opinions you cite (and wish they were more widely read) as do many Americans - some self-labelled as liberal - others who would not yet are worried for morale and/or economic reasons.
They have been speaking up yet they/we have not swayed Obama.
If the current, demoralizing and deadly events on the ground these days don't sway him and if polling re the mid-term elections proves true and there is a push-back that can, at least in part be attributed to his choices - and that does not sway him I do not know what will.
