		<title>Unfair! Revenge &#8211; How Women and Men Act</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Neuroscientist Tania Singer and her team recruited volunteers to play a game. Some were asked to play by the rules. Others were instructed to ignore them. To not play fair.
After all participants played the game together, they were then asked to observe each other in a second activity. Scientists measured some of the volunteers&#8217; brain [...]

		<title>Redeem and Integrity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m a big fan of “Seinfeld”. My favorite episode is titled “The Opposite,” which begins with George’s painful &#8211; and obvious &#8211; realization that his life is not working. He meets up with Jerry and Elaine at their regular diner and sighs:

		<title>Working for Good? Just Connect!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I vividly remember one day when my daughter Meryl Fé was 8. As was often the case, I was in somewhat of a hurry, and needed to get her moving, out of the house, to the car, and on the road. The more anxious I was about leaving, the slower she moved. The more I [...]

		<title>Seek First to Understand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A former client of ours, a marketing executive, used to remind himself and his staff to seek &#8220;first to understand, then to be understood.&#8221; That sage advice is from The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen Covey, and great advice it is, in our personal lives and in business.

		<title>How Would You Define The Problem?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I watch political campaigns, national debates, business meetings, and family discussions where the rhetoric and emotion increases while the civility and connection decreases, I see a common thread: failure to stop the discussion of solutions long enough to come to an agreement on how to define the problem.
I&#8217;m guilty myself. I see a problem. [...]
