My most recent guest, Gerry O'Sullivan, talked with me about her process, The Journey of Inference. As she puts it succinctly: “Our Journey of Inference interprets the world of observable data according to our unique perspective or paradigm.”It's clear from Gerry's process and our conversation that our inferences can get us into trouble, precisely because we each carry a unique perspective or paradigm.Dictionary definitions of infer are, if not quite unique, not fully consistent.For example, one says infer means to conclude through reasoning. Another than infer means to guess or use reasoning. And yet another statesInfer can mean “to derive by reasoning; conclude or judge from premises or evidence.”It's that guessing, those premises, that can wreak havoc.  Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Send us a textRHOSLC-Whitney's Psychic CircusPodcast Summary: RHOSLC S6 E5 – “The Salt Lake City Soup Man”Whitney kicks off the episode planning a “love, laughter, and wine” girls' day—complete with psychic readings and bad singing. The ladies gather at a venue Mary immediately declares cursed (“bad juju” — a murder-suicide happened there). The party's garden theme quickly clashes with everyone's chaotic fashion choices—Mary even says Meredith looks like “a walking virus.”Lisa arrives in silk pajamas clutching a manila envelope, prepared for drama. Meredith confronts her about rumors Lisa allegedly tried to spread via Angie, which sparks another round of yelling between Lisa and Angie. Mary, as usual, spectates with biting commentary and refuses the salmon tartare (“I'm not eating parasites, little salmon babies in my belly!”).Whitney's “surprise guest” psychic, Terrence Turner, gives the women a series of emotional readings—Brittany about her distant daughter, Bronwyn about her mother's health, and Lisa about her strained marriage. Meanwhile, Angie and Lisa's fight escalates into an epic insult exchange, culminating in Angie threatening to pull Lisa's ears back “further than her facelift,” and Lisa firing back with “What about Soup Man, bitch?”—leaving everyone utterly confused.The chaos continues as Angie throws a toy horse, Mary storms off, and Whitney gets a warning from the psychic to “watch out for a snake” in her friend group. By the end, Lisa cries, Whitney reflects, and no one knows who (or what) the “Soup Man” really is.WWHL: Whitney appears with Lukas Gage and reveals she lost over $500K in Wild Rose Beauty but insists she'll be fine. Andy praises her honesty this season. When asked who started the latest feud—Whitney says flatly, “Lisa.”Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

In Episode 14 of Negotiate X in Rewind, hosts Nolan Martin and Aram Donigian explore the art of uncovering interests in negotiation and why it's essential for lasting success. They break down how identifying both organizational and individual motivations—beyond surface-level positions—leads to stronger collaboration and smarter outcomes.  Using real-world examples, they illustrate how strategic, operational, and personal goals intertwine in every deal. From managing risks and relationships to understanding human needs through Maslow's hierarchy, the episode reveals how empathy and curiosity transform negotiations into meaningful, mutually beneficial problem-solving conversations rather than positional battles.  

In this powerful episode of Heartbreak to Happiness, Sara Davison sits down with Rebecca Waclawyj, founder of Brighter Future Mediation, neurodivergent entrepreneur, and survivor turned advocate for safe, trauma-informed conflict resolution.Drawing on over 15 years in the criminal and family court system—and her own lived experience of divorce and separation—Rebecca offers a candid, critical look at mediation in the context of domestic abuse. Can mediation ever be safe when power imbalances exist? When is it a healing alternative, and when does it risk retraumatizing survivors?

Welcome back to School Counseling Simplified. Since October is Bullying Prevention Month, this episode focuses on practical conflict resolution strategies you can use at the schoolwide, classroom, and small group levels. If you have not listened to last week's episode on restorative circles, start there for helpful background on resolution circles and community-based approaches. Today we build on that foundation with tangible tools you can use right away to help students resolve, forgive, and repair relationships. What you will learn in this episode How to use classroom-based activities to teach conflict resolution skills A simple script for I statements that students can use to express feelings and seek solutions Engagement strategies for role play, discussion, and practice Small group activities and curricula that support peer problem solving Steps to take when a student is referred to you after a conflict Classroom strategies  Talk it out circle Use a classroom circle where two students resolve a conflict in front of their peers while the teacher or counselor facilitates a respectful discussion. This model teaches the whole class how to listen, reflect, and offer support. Counselor push-ins Join the classroom for a lesson or mediation session, while the teacher and student exit the classroom to resolve a conflict. I statement lessons Teach a simple I statement script: name the emotion, describe the incident, explain how it made you feel, and suggest a next step toward resolution. Use dry erase boards with fill-in-the-blank templates for practice. Post I statement language on classroom walls and in common areas so students have visible reminders. Role play and scenario practice Break students into small groups and use scenario cards to role play common friendship conflicts. Incorporate charades, fishbowl exercises, or paired practice to make skills stick. Small group ideas Run a conflict resolution group using discussion dice or conversation cards to guide reflection. Include hands-on activities or crafts that reinforce communication skills and empathy. Consider curricula like Kelso's Choices to teach problem-solving options for peer conflicts. When students are referred after a conflict Start by identifying the source of the conflict. Ask why this keeps happening and what the underlying triggers are. Take time to get a full picture before deciding on a plan so you do not cycle through the same issues repeatedly. Use data from observations, teacher input, and student self-report to refine your intervention. Action steps you can take today Teach and practice one I statement template with a class. Try a short talk it out circle during your next classroom visit. Create or print an I statement poster to display in classrooms and common areas.   Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT Conflict Resolution Small Group: Pirates to Peacekeepers Bullying Prevention Classroom Guidance Lesson Bringing Restorative Practices to Your School By Laura McClure Check out the Kelso music video on YouTube: It's Your Choice Baby Connect with Rachel: TpT Store Blog Instagram Facebook Page Facebook Group Pinterest Youtube   More About School Counseling Simplified: School Counseling Simplified is a podcast offering easy to implement strategies for busy school counselors.

Julie Cobalt is an attorney with over 25 years of experience as a Conflict Resolution Expert with 1,200 successful mediations accomplished. After many years of working with large companies, Julie is now supporting families in resolving their conflicts, and offering workshops on navigating challenging times such as divorce. Julie shared a story of her mom who was always seeking validation through helping people outside of her family. This led to a fascinating conversation about the balance of taking care of others with taking care of yourself, but also questioning whom you seek validation from and why; how to shift perspective to see where the other person is coming from; and the importance of understanding before you react. Julie shared her inner journey of working on her relationship with her mother, and also the biggest lesson she learned as a Conflict Resolution Expert - she kindly shared her theory of “3 Buckets” which can help soften any relationship.

This is episode 2 in my people-pleasing deep-dive! One of our biggest fears as people-pleasers is speaking up for ourselves during conflict—it can literally make us feel like we're going to pass out from anxiety! So how do we move from the knee-jerk "Sounds good, no worries!" to a thoughtful, authentic: "Actually, here's what I need..."? In this epi, psychologist, author, relationship expert, and podcast host Dr. Tracy Dalgleish joins me to get into what's underlying our people-pleasing patterns, why people-pleasing actually leads to MORE conflict, and how we heal.

Could artificial intelligence be the breakthrough Haiti desperately needs? In this episode, I explore how AI technology might revolutionize peace negotiations and conflict resolution in one of the world's most dangerous situations. Drawing on insights from Henry Kissinger and Eric Schmidt's groundbreaking book "Genesis," I break down how AI can analyze complex conflict dynamics, process massive amounts of data, and generate innovative solutions that human negotiators might miss. What You'll Learn: ✅ How AI can transform peace negotiations in active conflict zones ✅ The critical difference between forgiveness and reconciliation ✅ Why justice and peace often conflict in Haiti's situation ✅ The strategic importance of ceasefires vs. truces ✅ AI's role in analyzing gang dynamics and power structures ✅ How machine learning can identify negotiation opportunities ✅ Real strategies for implementing AI-driven peace processes   Key Insights from "Genesis" Henry Kissinger and Eric Schmidt's final collaboration reveals how AI is reshaping governance and international relations. I apply their framework specifically to Haiti's gang crisis, showing how technology could break decades of failed peace attempts. The Haiti Crisis Context With gang violence controlling 80% of Port-au-Prince and humanitarian conditions deteriorating daily, traditional approaches have failed. This video explores whether AI represents a genuine paradigm shift or just another failed promise.

Our initial reaction to criticism can be exactly that: a reaction more than a response. And it can be black or white.Neither of those things tends to help.Better. Remind yourself that very few things in life are genuinely black or white.Take a pause. Take a breath.  Take a look at the criticism. No need to beat up on yourself or on the other person. View the criticism through a careful lens. One that includes analysis and also kindness to yourself and some grace to the other person. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, Nick and Amy dive into one of the most common struggles couples face: keeping score in marriage.So many couples reach out to us feeling overwhelmed and frustrated because things don't feel “50/50. in their marriage. One spouse feels like they're doing more, and resentment begins to creep in.

In today's episode of the Second in Command podcast, Cameron explores one of the most common yet challenging aspects of leadership: how to handle conflict without falling into the role of constant mediator. You'll hear strategies for equipping managers to address issues themselves, drawing from structured frameworks that encourage ownership, accountability, and independent problem solving. Rather than leaders becoming the “referees” in every dispute, the discussion explores how to build confidence and skill within teams so they can work through disagreements productively.The conversation also dives into the practical realities of leadership training. It considers why teams often struggle to implement what they've learned, how to create space in busy schedules for professional development, and why ongoing practice is critical to mastery. By comparing leadership growth to athletic training, you'll discover the need for repetition, reflection, and reinforcement over time, and why one-time exposure isn't enough for long-term results.Tired of playing referee? Learn how to build leaders who resolve conflicts and drive results on their own.

Are you settling for a “make it work” marriage when you could build an extraordinary one?Most couples drift into survival mode—roommates, not lovers—because they've never seen an amazing marriage modeled… and no one taught them the skills. In this episode, Greg & Rachel Denning share how to raise your marriage standard, resolve conflict fast (the “anatomy of an argument”), and build a shared vision that turns everyday life into marital bliss—without pretending problems don't exist.Big idea: If you're not deliberately working on your marriage, you're automatically working on your divorce.You'll learn how to stop the same old fights, praise small efforts to reinforce positive change, schedule what matters (yes, intimacy!), and use the compound effect to transform your relationship. Whether things are tough or “fine,” these tools help you move from okay → incredible so your kids grow up with healthy models of love.What you'll learnRaise the standard: Why “make it work” is too low a target—and how high expectations create more happiness.Anatomy of an argument: Resolve conflicts quickly (not fake fixes) and stop weaponizing old grievances.Shared vision: Practical steps to get on the same page even if personalities and goals differ.Reinforce progress: Praise small attempts (date night invites, thoughtful gestures) so they happen more often.Schedule what matters: How planning creates space for connection & intimacy—instead of constant friction.Compound effect: The habits you invest in today build your legacy tomorrow.Key Takeaways✅ If you aren't intentionally improving your marriage, you're unintentionally degrading it.✅ High standards produce higher joy and better outcomes.✅ Conflict ≠ contention—you can disagree respectfully and resolve fast.✅ Model love for your kids by prioritizing the relationship at home.✅ Small, consistent actions compound into an extraordinary marriage.Chapters00:00 The Importance of Marriage02:56 From Mediocre to Extraordinary05:53 Setting High Expectations for Marriage08:25 Conflict Resolution in Marriage11:51 Self-Sabotage in Relationships16:43 Creating Mental Space for Intimacy18:16 The Importance of Retreats for Couples18:49 Investing in Marriage: The Compounding Effect20:28 Breaking Generational Patterns in Relationships22:17 Creating a Shared Vision for the Future22:44 Raising the Standard in Marriage24:36 The Role of Coaching in Relationship Growth27:04 The Value of Investing in Your MarriageMemorable Quotes

In the story of the Angry Man, the Buddha illustrates how to disarm criticism based or anger or rudeness. A young man came to insult the Buddha, but the Buddha did not become angry or insulted. Instead, he calmly asked the man a question: "If someone offers you a gift and you decline to accept it, to whom does it belong?". The young man replied that the gift would belong to the person who offered it. The Buddha then calmly responded: The young man replied that the gift would belong to the person who offered it. The Buddha then calmly responded: "And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me". Although we may be less calm, and might be wise to say nothing, the lesson remains: we don't have to accept everything that is thrown at us.Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Today, I'm joined by Bill Benjamin, partner at the Institute for Health and Human Potential, a speaker, author, and expert in emotional intelligence and leadership under pressure. With a background in mathematics and computer science, Bill's journey into the world of leadership and communication began when he realized that technical excellence doesn't automatically translate into people leadership.In this episode, we explore the concept of the “Last 8%”—the critical, often avoided moments in tough conversations that define relationships, trust, and leadership effectiveness. Bill shares brain-based strategies for emotional self-regulation, why so many leaders either avoid or overreact in difficult conversations, and how the SOS framework—Stop, Oxygenate, Seek information—can help anyone communicate more skillfully under pressure.This episode is filled with practical insights for anyone who wants to lead with courage, communicate with clarity, and build a culture of honest dialogue.Let's dive in.Additional Resources:► Follow Communispond on LinkedIn for more communication skills tips: https://www.linkedin.com/company/communispond► Connect with Scott D'Amico on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottdamico/► Connect with Bill: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-benjamin-12b671/► Check out the HBR case study: https://hbr.org/2025/09/the-secret-to-building-a-high-performing-team► Subscribe to Communicast: https://communicast.simplecast.com/► Learn more about Communispond: https://www.communispond.com

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “I don't know if I should stay, and I don't know if I should go”? That painful in-between is called relationship ambivalence, and it can quietly drain years of your life if you don't get clarity. In this episode, I'm joined by relationship researcher Dr. Merideth Thompson, who knows that limbo all too well. After staying stuck for nearly a decade, she created Partner Lab, a research-based company focused on improving relationships as a cornerstone of overall wellness. Together we'll explore what the science says about relationship health, the “Clarity Matrix” she developed to cut through the fog, and the real-life questions that matter most when deciding whether to stay or leave. We also talk openly about staying “for the kids,” how familiar but unhealthy dynamics keep us hooked, and why actions, not words, show you whether your partner is really invested. Our goal isn't to tell you whether to stay or go. It's to give you the clarity and confidence to trust yourself again.
