How to Avoid Unintended Consequences from Incomplete Communications

Friday, February 18th, 2011

I was watching the recent on-air interview reconciliation between Oprah and Iyanla Vanzant (a former protégé of Oprah’s who vanished from the TV scene eleven years ago) and have to say I was shocked. Shocked but not surprised that even two powerful, successful women who are each spiritual leaders in their own right fell prey to [...]

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Go ahead, there’s no wind-up necessary, you can simply answer the question for yourself: “How confident do you feel?” What happens in your body as you answer this?
