Criticizing Our Kids – Not Cool

"Criticism is futile because its puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself.  Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment."~ Dale Carnegie


This short video is sort a book review of one of my all time fav's – "How to Win Friends and Influence People," by Dale Carnegie.  I've seriously read the book at least a dozen times and I learn something new and valuable with each read.  I've also come across a new and FABULOUS blog by Dan Pearce, called "Single Dad Laughing," which I know you will love – so go check it out~

What People Are Saying:

Coaching with Edie has been a very positive and motivating experience for me.  Things I kept putting off became my focus, I took action, and accomplished them very quickly with just her asking the RIGHT questions.  I have written down my goals - something I normally don't like to do - and I am seeing my goals being met on a weekly and monthly basis.  When I didn't meet a specific goal I had for the week, she completely took a positive side and we moved forward for the next week.  I knew what I wanted in my life, I just wasn't focusing or putting it to action like I am now.  Thank you Edie for your support, positive influence and the nudges from behind!

Edie really helped me gain a lot of insight into my professional and personal life. It was an eye-opening experience. I look forward to achieving some of the goals that we talked about, and I am confident that I will achieve them with Edie's support and guidance.
