Trust is Relevant for all Presidential Candidates
2008-05-19 15:07:00 In Oregon, Senator Obama was asked “How do I know I can trust you ?” That is a pretty blunt question, to the point, and one that we all want to ask our prospective leaders. We would ask our leaders and leaders-to-be the following: Give me specific reasons why I should trust you. In what ...

PROFANITY AND INTERPERSONAL COMPETENCE
2008-04-11 19:01:00 Today is Friday, so this post is on interpersonal competence.I’ve mentioned “Women’s Edge” Magazine on this blog before. It’s aimed at women in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina, but I find that each issue is jam packed with useful information for men and women interested in building a successful life and career, no matter where they live.The current issue has a great article on communication written by Linda Shields, author of the award-winning book “The Voice That Means Business: How to Speak With Authority, Confidence and Credibility.” In this article, Ms. Shields addresses profanity as a communication problem.I am not a prude, and I have uttered my share of expletives in my time. But I always advise my clients that profanity does not help them create positive personal impact. It can tag them as an inarticulate communicator. And it is not the hallmark of interpersonally competent people.Here is wha...
Most Men are Not Animals Like Eliot Spitzer, or David Paterson, Either

It?s been done by many other creatures, tens of ...

?THE LIST? AND INTERPERSONAL COMPETENCE
2008-03-14 06:00:00 Today is Friday, so this post is on interpersonal competence.Recently, I read a great book, Mentor: The Kid and The CEO, by Tom Pace. Mr. Pace is a member of the National speakers Association. He sent me and other members a complimentary copy of Mentor with a unique guarantee. “I want to extend you a personal guarantee; which is if you read my book and believe it to be a waste of your time, then I will personally give you $100. I read the book and have no plans for asking Mr. Pace to send me $100.Mentor is the story of a young man, Tony “The Kid,” who is in trouble. It begins with him in jail on a petty theft charge. He gets sentenced to 90 days. During that time, he meets Malcolm, a local CEO who volunteers his time at the prison in the hopes of helping inmates get their lives on track.Tony heeds Malcolm’s advice. When he is released from jail, Malcolm becomes his mentor. Malcolm helps Tony find a job and...

Mama’s commonsense approach to excellent interpersonal skills
2008-01-15 23:40:00 Life is about interaction. With rare exception, everyone interacts on a daily basis. You deal with your family, bosses, subordinates, customers (clients, patients, readers, etc), coworkers, friends, enemies, strangers and more everyday. How would you characterize these exchanges? Do you enjoy interacting with others? Do they enjoy interacting with you? Here are a few ideas that I feel (and my Mama taught) are common sense solutions for many of the problems that we face when dealing with others. 1. Smile at everyone. This is easy enough to do physically, but we have problems with the mental part. Why should I smile? I don’t feel like smiling. Smiling causes others to relax. In a potentially tense situation, your smile may lower everyones blood pressure enough so that problems can be handled rationally. Your smile may even allow your message to be more easily received. Think of how you brace yourself when someone approaches you with a scowl on their face. Are you relaxed or are you...

Be Cautious and Wise in Giving Free Advice or Favors
2007-12-18 16:12:00 As professors, colleagues, and consultants, we are often asked for for free advice, mentoring, and favors (e.g., recommendation letters). We believe we have been generous in granting these requests over the years, and we’ve certainly never charged for these.

Interpersonal Meltdown
2007-11-05 20:19:00 As the days and months just fly by, and the realization on a daily basis that I am not getting any younger seeps in, I feel pressured to be more involved with people. At 24 & a 1/2 I am starting to see a bit of a transformation towards the understanding of impermanence, and how to open up to people that I generally would never open up to before. I have found that I learn so much more from these few people I have met in the last year, then almost anyone I met through school. I suppose it is because, a couple years ago, I would have not given them the time of day because they do not share my opinion on things, or have much different behavior, and interests. Yet this is what makes them so interesting. Maybe it was my immature view towards relating to people, but when you only associate with people who think and act much to like you, that is what will seal you off from any real sense of community or understanding. Much like your frat house, or church groups.Through opening up ...

INTERPERSONAL links: Holistic Bliss or Tristram Shandy ... III
2007-08-27 21:53:00 The INTERPERSONAL domain links are to my mind (no pun intended) fairly obvious, at least that first row complements the SCIENCES top row opposite.Basically, who needs a talking therapy and who needs a drug therapy?The two uppermost care domains are intended to represent the INDIVIDUAL axis, so just as the SCIENCES [ANATOMY & PHYS] domain covers physical care; so the INTERPERSONAL domain encompasses emotional and mental health care.Hodges' model is comprised of four care domains, but it is these two [INTERPERSONAL : SCIENCES] applied to the individual that even today we struggle to balance in theory and practice.A key factor in Brian Hodges' early nursing career (and mine) has been the role of institutions, organisations and the formal policies and structures they represent. This can be depicted as:EMOTIONAL HEALTH : PHYSICAL HEALTH (both 'individual')OTHERS family, society : INSTITUTIONS (both 'group')As to the INTERPERSONAL links themselves - I arrived at mental healt...
