I am observing the reactions from the perspective of my lessons in Logosynthesis® and I am going to offer a few words in an attempt to broaden the conversation. The common theme on social media is ‘If you care about our children you would …’. Our reactions can … Read More
We all react to everyday life events. Some reactions are beneficial to our success and others hold us back from achieving our goals. However I have come to recognize that even the reactions that are beneficial to an individual’s success can be damaging to the team. And reactions that are beneficial to the team, may hold an individual back. As leaders, parents and people of influence, what is needed to get the job done may be clear. The energy bound in … Read More

Our healthcare system demands evidence-based research yet our constitution recognizes the supremacy of God. When the Canadian Constitution was amended in 1982 to entrench the … Read More

The stronger the emotion, the more adamant we are that we are right and the stronger the conviction to get others to change. Consider how the following statements may be limiting: I don’t get along well with others because they have issues. I am not the one who needs personal development work.
