Heated arguments. Is there a way?

April 11, 2011

I recently had not one – quite a few heated arguments. I must say I started to enjoy them, as I realized the benefits of consciously turning them around into constructive dialogues.

A different perspective on reality

April 5, 2011

I was doing a quick peer coaching (15 minutes “flash” coaching) yesterday evening, and something popped in my mind, so brilliant (excuse my modesty, it always gets in the way) that I thought I should share this with you.
Jackie, the woman I was coaching, is returning to work next week, after 2 months of leave [...]
