When Life Doesn’t Match Your Dreams: 5 Strategies For Navigating Career Discontent & Finding Fulfillment.

1) Friendship: Couples who have a strong friendship have staying power. They not only love each other but genuinely like each other as people. They enjoy hanging out together. They might even consider each other their “best friend.”

I'm positive you've attended an event, and had to watch a guy you were interested in, walk right out the door, without him knowing, you wanted to get to know him.This scenario plays out because it's not traditional for a woman to make the first move. And for many guys, they won’t even approach a woman who doesn’t give him a cue. What this creates in an impasse. He's scared of rejection and you don't believe that it's "lady-like" to approach a man. But, therein lies the rub!So, what can you do about it? Good question! Glad you asked. Here are 2 cues you can employ to make it easy for him to come over and introduce himself.1. Smile. A smile is a great way to nonverbally say "I am open to a conversation". Sounds simple but you'd be surprised how many times you might be wearing a frown and “you ain't even know it”.2. Develop a “come hither look”. It’s a tactful way for a classy woman to make an advance. Webster Dictionary defines a “come hither look” as “an alluring or seductive look or glance”. This look can trigger a man’s innate desire to pursue.I advise my clients to do something I call, "mirror work". Mirror work can be used for multiple things, one of which is practicing your body language. 85% of communication is nonverbal. Before you go out there, it's important to get the right "welcome" down pact (and to make sure that there is nothing between your teeth). :-)

I get asked all the time about the difference between coaching and therapy. In order to create a clear distinction between the two, I'll try to explain here.

My journey to becoming a married man hasn’t been an easy one. I was engaged once before, but never made it to the altar. We tried, but we failed. It wasn’t anyone’s fault. I could throw her under the bus to make myself look good, but that wouldn’t be fair to her. And the way things didn’t work out taught us some valuable lessons, one of which is, don’t point fingers. The others are be self-aware and own up to your own contribution. It’s hard to speak candidly about your own mistakes, but that’s what I tell my coaching clients to do so I have to practice what I preach.

Dear Men Who Text, From a time management stand point, I can see how texting can be a great way to stay on her mind while you handle other business [and for some of us guys, juggle multiple women]. I get it. I've done it too.That is why, I can tell you, from experience, that the thing to be cautious of is, technology doesn't always convey what you are really trying to say, or who you really are, and...on top of that, men and women speak two different languages.See, when texting is your primary means of talking to her, what 'she' gets from you, differs, from your intention. She interprets it as a sign that you don't hold her in high regard. It tells her that she isn't worth your time. It also comes across as if you're selfish. It communicates that you are the type of man who wants something of value, for nothing in return. You want to be intimate without intimacy.You can't get to know someone through texting! You just can't. Quality relationships begin with quality conversation and quality time. Anything else, leads to too much miscommunication.If you are really interested in her, pick up the phone and call her.Sincerely,+ckr

Contrary to popular belief, submission, is for men too.It's impossible to experience love at the deepest level without both parties being submissive.When two people give of themselves it takes the relationship higher. When only one person submits, there will always be a struggle.There was a time I use to think that it was all about the woman submitting to her man, but through study, and experience, I have come to realize that submission is essential for both parties to have a successful union. It takes two!When both parties humble their egos and give up themselves.The ME, and the YOU, disappear, and the focus becomes about "the us".Our personal need to be right, becomes second to doing what is right.By agreeing to be vulnerable to one another, they automatically let go of the fear of being mistreated or manipulated.They surrender to love between them.
