Too often we don’t realize what we have until its gone. Too often we’re too stubborn to say, “Sorry, I was wrong.” Too often it seems we hurt the ones closest to our hearts and we let the most foolish things tear us apart.

This is What Makes Us Girls - Lana Del Rey
This is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put our love first
Somethin’ that we’d die for, it’s our curse
Don’t cry about it, don’t cry about it
I’m probably 16 or 17 here. #tbt #throwbackthursday
Can someone reassure me that this girl is okay after taking this pic? Because that is one evil looking cat!

19 Conversation Techniques
Synthesizing: “So it seems like there are really three different issues going on here, which are…” Summarizing, which is what many people do, is boring and tedious to the other person. Synthesizing shows you are listening but goes further and adds value through big-picture thinking.
Active listening: Interjecting “OK, Uh huh, that’s right, I see” to communicate that you are paying attention.
Non-verbal listening: Using your body and eyes to show you are completely focused on the other person. Avoid “tells” like looking at your watch, letting your eyes wander around the room, and so on.
Echoing: Repeating the last word spoken. Client: “So as a result, there’s very high attrition.” You: “Attrition.” Client: “Yes, we think it’s well above the industry average. In fact, last year we lost 20% of the sales force.” You: “20%” Client: “Well, some of it was uncontrollable attrition like retirements, but…” *
Disclosure: “I know what you mean—two years ago I also missed a major family event due to a deadline at work…” Sharing your own experiences, in a non-condescending manner, can create a more intimate and meaningful dialog. If you are interested in the psychology of this, look up the “Johari Window,” devised by Ingham and Luft . The idea is that mutual disclosure—not one person talking and the other simply listening—leads to empathy and understanding.
These sound like they were pulled from a counseling text book. I like!
For about three years now, Italian member of European Parliament Licia Ronzulli brings regularly her daughter Victoria with her to work.
“We encourage women to study, to have an interesting job. But at the end they have to choose between their career and their private life. Women shouldn’t have to choose.”
Licia Ronzulli has an impressive resume, besides being a dedicated mother, now 36 years old, she is a member of the environment, health and food safety commission in Strasbourg and has also worked as a nurse in Milan and Bangladesh before becoming a hospital director and then turning to politics.
You, my friend, have my respect!
