Respect for You as a Human Being
Last week, I had an somewhat loaded discussion with a new friend who had contracted COVID while on a holiday trip that involved a lot of flying. When I asked if they’d worn a mask while at the airport and on their flights, they indicated that they hadn’t because they didn’t believe that masks actually worked to protect us from viruses. They cited a research study that supported this belief...
It Was So Disrespectful, But I Didn’t Say Anything!
This is the 2nd in my series of holiday time advice on keeping things cool during stressful public situations.

At the same time, all indicators are that as a society, we haven’t been this polarized since the Civil War and we haven’t experienced such public...
Ink Blotches on Letterhead
This week, we’re doing something new – turning over our newsletter to a dear friend and client whom I had the privilege to serve as a consultant many decades ago. He recently shared a story about something he did back then that I think is very moving and profound. He gave me permission to reprint his story, but he’d prefer to remain anonymous. Still, I can say that at the time he was serving...
Striking Down Reality
When it comes to expressing my thoughts on the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down affirmative action in college and university admissions, it is clear to me that there are so many voices calling out today with first-hand experience that are far more educated and eloquent than mine.
