I read a great article on Negotiation Styles. What particularly struck me was the idea of purpose – contract or relationship. Identifying the intent can help us move forward, especially if it allows us to reframe the situation and understand that taking a step back, can actually be progress.
With that in mind, I loved (and related) to Nora Ephron’s I Feel Bad about My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman. Candid and earnest, Ephron delves into the little life moments that leave an impact. I was laughing out loud throughout.
