Agile Developer 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

That saying “familiarity breeds contempt” may be true. We tend to take loved ones for granted, no matter how well-intended. Yet it is equally true that familiarity breeds acceptance. Thus it is easier to stick a new idea in someone’s... Continue reading

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.

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... Continue reading

You’ll feel much better after watching Phil Davison’s emotional appeal for support. His talk demonstrates that recommending the use of emotion is not sufficiently specific advice for a speaker. Also, having apparently apt credentials like a Masters in Communication, does... Continue reading

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.
