When people feel criticized, they almost always defend the behavior you want them to change.

Regardless of the problem, as long as our solution requires someone else to change, we will never know the power and promise of self-determination.

The act of giving is simply a behavior, and the gift merely a symbol. It is the energy behind both that will determine their impact on our lives.

Our past is not, as some fear, a series of events carved in stone that we must carry around for the rest of our lives... but a kaleidoscope of experiences that, when viewed through different lenses, can 'color' (change) how we see our present and future.

Stress is an indicator of our belief in the value and validity of our worries and fears.

Change isn't about what you are stopping... it's about what you are starting.

To be influential in our conversations, we must first be aware of two things, (1) what do we want to bring to the conversation and (2) what do we want to bring out in others.
