True Colors
A wise person once told me, “When people show you their true colors, believe them.” Why is it that so often – in personal relationships, in hiring decisions, in business deals… –we see what we want to see instead of what’s really being revealed to us? How many times do we make hiring decisions with [...]

Processing with Intention – Emotional Intelligence
I am well aware of my place in this world and the forces that are bigger than I am. But the experience of having my heart stop beating somehow penetrated those forces. The processing of this experience, a dimension of emotional intelligence, has propelled me to live even more intentionally.

Under the visionary leadership of Steve Jobs, Apple was transformed from a fringe computer company to the world’s leader in innovation.

A More Effective World
Some of the best quotes, I find, provoke a double reaction: first humor, then pause. A friend of mine, who knows I collect good quotes, recently sent me one that does just that. “Today’s peacock is tomorrow’s feather duster.” –Alva O.

Emotional Intelligence: Givers and Takers
I believe that in every interaction between people, there is a transaction of energy. In healthy relationships and normal transactions, there is give and take on both sides. Participants oscillate back and forth between being energy givers and energy takers. We give and we receive ideas, counsel and encouragement. We lean on others, and they [...]
