Have you ever witnessed someone having a heart attack, choking, or an accident? Did you know what to do, beyond calling 911? Were you able to provide assistance or did you stand there powerless until help came? The first person to respond in an emergency situation will be the person who is right there as [...]
Yesterday I was visiting with my father who happened to be watching an episode of Divorce Court where a wife was frustrated with her husband’s lack of financial and emotional contributions to the family and to their relationship.

If there never seems to be enough time to get things done, then perhaps it’s time to rethink your approach to accomplishing them. And if multi-tasking only leaves you with a never ending list of open-ended projects and tasks, then it’s time to let go of the belief that you know how to juggle, and [...]
When was the last time you made purposeful eye contact with someone you didn’t know, smiled, and wished them a good day? We’re all connected socially, but disconnected in our interpersonal communications.
