		<description><![CDATA[Surviving in a culture obsessed with emotions&#160;
Have you noticed that the ‘appropriate’ question to ask someone today about a proposal is, “How do you feel about that?” Not, “What do you think of that?” or “Do you have any ideas on that?”
At least on this, US, side of the Atlantic, we live in a culture [...]]]></description>

Instead of worrying where everyone else is, try to reconcile yourself with the possibility that you are in the right place, making the absolute best of the resources you have available to you on that day.”]]></description>

There is a point where caring too much can cause you to create unnecessary angst for yourself and others. That’s where the Circle of Care can help.”]]></description>

All conscious, healthy relationships thrive on the basis of trust, integrity and transparency. Transparency itself is about truth-telling. That means being open, honest and sincere in putting yourself ‘out there‘. In many ways, the essence of truth-telling is being comfortable in your own skin.

It's up to all of us to decide whether to make this change permanent, or revert to business as usual, based on constant competition, fear, gossip, bullying and stress.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trust, writes Peter Vajda, is the single most important building block of successful relationships. Today’s rampant mistrust jeopardizes many of the ways people at work relate to one another. Mistrust is, however, a consequence of experiences individuals have long before entering the world of work. Building more trusting and healthy relationships demands that you uncouple from past, knee-jerk responses.]]></description>
