Wii20131013-Entry208-Dealing with Conflict

Published: October 13, 2013

Dealing with annoying people is more than understanding WHY they are annoying to you. At some point, you will have to face what is really going on.

But conflict is not always handled well, and we don’t always understand the value of the conflict we encounter.

Trudi talks about conflict and how to handle it.

Wii20131006-Entry207-Men, Women, Social Styles

Published: October 7, 2013

Tim finishes the discussion that began last week about listening and some facts to consider about why we may or may not be listening as well as we should or could.

We cover a few other gender myths, then conclude with a look at romantic love, what it is, and the real issue underneath.

The original class recording was no good, so this recording was done later. Although it is missing the class interaction that was a fun part of the class, it does contain some material that was left out of the original presentation in class.
