I’ve struggled with being judgmental most of my life. At times I felt more like the guy in this picture than the woman. Can you relate? But I discovered a powerful key that’s changing my perspective and helps me appreciate others just the way they are. It really has been revolutionary and that’s why I’m excited to share it with you.

In this week’s podcast my friend and business partner, Dave Mead, and I talk about how we’ve both grown in emotional intelligence. The segment that explains how it defused my judgmental attitudes starts here.
