remind ourselves how often we inadvertently do something
that is inconvenient for others (like when I recently
had a problem with a certain company, and to remedy
the situation they decided it would be best to make
everything as inconvenient as possible for me, just,
you know, as a way of saying [...]]]></description>

A simple way to avoid feeling embarrassed and getting
stressed out during an awkward moment is to practice
pulling what I call a “humor flip-flop” – a quick mental
back flip if you will, that helps you reframe a stressful
event in a silly way. So, for example, if you trip in [...]]]></description>

In an effort to keep wooing folks out of their cars and
onto public transit, L.A. Transit has resorted to using

“Miss Traffic” that tell transit users to wave and smile
at all the fuming drivers stuck in traffic, and a campaign

		<description><![CDATA[The Best Communication Tool EVER!
I’ve spoken before about how the written word does not smile.
In other words, our written correspondence (a fancy phrase
for e-mail, because really, when was the last time you
“corresponded”?)sometimes gets misinterpreted when we use

A study of 3,000 creative executives by Brigham Young
University suggests that if you want to be more creative
you should work on developing five skills that distinguish
highly creative people apart from not-so-creative types:
questioning; making connections across seemingly unrelated
ideas; closely observing details; the ability to experiment

Just thought I’d ask, because I’m noticing more and more rude
behavior in meetings. Even in my talks people in the front

It’s that time of the year when we take out gym memberships,

Sadly, most New Year’s resolutions go in one year and out the
