Business Affecting Your Marriage?
As businesswomen, we may feel that we have to make a choice between our love for our marriages and families and the passion that fuels our entrepreneurial spirits! What makes this business dilemma more difficult for women than men goes back thousands of years, but times are changing, and so are the needs of both […]
Assumptions Cause Unnecessary Conflict
Pay attention to your assumptions. Are they facts or fears? Are you letting them take you out? Are you making them mean something that doesn’t serve your best interests? Don’t be afraid to ask questions to clarify motives—both yours and others’. Asking questions is an excellent communication skill.
