“Thanksgiving” was celebrated last month in the United States. With this in mind, read how a simple incident at the family affair relates to learning, motivation, and relationships.

“You are at your mother-in-law’s house for Thanksgiving dinner, and what a sumptuous spread she has put on the table for you. The turkey is roasted to a golden brown; the stuffing is homemade and exactly the way … >>>

In a series of blogs, I will be explaining the reasons that Finland’s schools are considered to be the most successful of any nation. The short articles are based upon my visiting a few of Finland’s schools last month.

2. PROMOTING RESPONSIBILITY

While finishing my dinner at an international conference in San Antonio, I recognized one of the three people being seated at the next table.

The result was a most interesting conversation with John Glenn, his wife, and a representative of the Kellogg Foundation.

The former astronaut (first American to orbit the earth, 1962, and former four-term Ohio Senator) had initiated a SERVICE LEADERSHIP … >>>

Disciplining and parenting would be easy if everyone behaved and acted the exact same way. But that’s not the case in families, schools, or even life in general. No wonder so many companies in various industries use behavior assessments to improve interpersonal relations between employees, customers, management, and other types of interactions.

Now there’s a way that you can gain new insight into behavioral styles and receive customized tips on how to use the … >>>

In my seminars, I demonstrate how to control both our emotions and our behavior so that we never need to be victims.
