This past Sunday, one of the lead articles in Parade magazine (the magazine inserted into millions of Sunday newspapers) was on emotional intelligence. The article was written by Daniel Goleman, who is one of the “founding fathers†of the concept of emotional intelligence and who has written groundbreaking books on the subject (I personally have found Working with Emotional Intelligence
Given the time of year – early fall, with classes starting up at many colleges and universities – it is time for the media blitz on “the college questionâ€. Different media sources frame the question in different ways. Foxnews.com has had a series recently on the topic, including “Is college worth the money?†and “Choosing a College: Liberal Arts vs.
One of the biggest headaches for employers and managers is the process of finding new employees. Employee hiring takes a lot of time and emotional energy – and most managers are not trained in the process. Add to this scenario the fact that there is a shortage of quality employees in a number of fields. For example, in a recent
“Family coach†is a relatively new term – and a new field. There are maybe 10-20 of us in the United States. There are a lot of business consultants, and even a lot of family business consultants who assist the owners and managers of family owned businesses.

The dynamics between parents and their kids changes as both get older — this is true when children move from toddlers to school-age to teens and beyond. It is especially true when they become adults. Here are some new skills needed in these adult-adult relationships (from article, “The New Generation Gap” in the July edition of Worth). To a great

These “adult children†range from late teen’s thru the 20’s & 30’s to individuals who are 40 and into their 60’s (sometimes
Ok, friends, this is the beginning. The goal of this blog is to assist the myriad of individuals, family members, business owners, and people who work for family owned businesses to figure out how to successfully “put it together”.
