Men & communication – two words that don’t belong in the same sentence
What is it with men? We apparently speak the same language as they do, but it doesn’t mean that successful communication is assured. Sometimes they speak in riddles and rhymes, but most times, it seems that the desire to communicate is just lacking on their part. One of my girlfriends recently told me about the … Continue reading
Putting yourself ahead of the team
Most of us instinctively look out for ourselves, first and foremost.
