When we engage people positively, we create a receptive platform for the ideas and information we wish to communicate.

To spank or not to spank isn't the question the question is whether whether we are teaching a quality we want our kids to have as adults?

When faced with conflicting thoughts and emotions, we must decide what to trust, what we fear, or what we know. What's important is that this decision be made by the knowledgeable versus the anxious part of who we are.

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.
