I took a course called the Landmark Forum in early June and it made a profound impact in how I approach professional and personal relationships. It has helped me identify the behaviours and thoughts that prevented me from having confidence in how I interact with people and has increased my level of personal productivity. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.landmarkeducation.com/menu.jsp?top=21&mid=57" rel="nofollow">http://www.landmarkeducation.com/menu.jsp?top=21&mid=57</a> Amy,

Watching our children grow and now our grandchildren at two and four I’ve come to the conclusion that we're born with MI in some or many aspects of our lives. That sounds sad but then why should we be surprised. We can’t significantly alter the physical characteristics we’re born with and I imagine we could all agree that we are born with the physical characteristics we have as adults. I say that with the understanding that indulging in unhealthy behaviors, accidents, or sickness can alter our physical characteristics. The same thing applies to MI. You can probably find relatives that have the same MI you have. I just attended my 40th high school reunion and I was surprised how many people actually shared the MI they experienced in high school. For most of them, it wasn’t apparent. The good news here is that unlike being very short when you really wish you were very tall, you can overcome your MI. It’s not easy but it can be done. I taught high school for 10 years and I wish that there was a class about MI in grammar school so that young people could learn that their MI could be overcome. What a gift to young people. You might be on to something here. Now you’ve got me thinking, what would be the objectives of the MI class? Hum let’s see.
