Dear Readers,

 
In preparation for 2014, I am suggesting that we really become more connected with people that we like.   In the new year, my goal will be to sit down with at least four people that I have met on social media or just in passing.  You know the people who always make you smile when you see them but you do not know them well.  There are just some people who just make you want to give them a great big hug.

Interpersonal Edge: Helping employee understand the meaning of ‘no’

Rina Risper07 mins

 

By Dr. Daneen Skube

 Q. I have an employee that treats “no” as little more than a speed bump. He just goes faster and pretends I didn’t say anything. Also, if I give him an inch on any policy, he figures the policy doesn’t even apply. I have had repeated conversations where I point out the rules; he smiles and then does what he damn pleases. How do I get him to toe the line?

Lessons of a Former Bully

We’Ced Youth Media /

According to studies by the American Medical Association, more than 3.2 million youths experience “moderate” or “serious” bullying. In my case, it started as early as I can remember.
 
I can recall saying to one classmate in kindergarten, “Listen, this is my playground kid,” as I held a pointy object to his neck.
 
Editor’s note:  Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the family  of Everett High School student Dalia Carpenter who committed suicide, a tragedy family and friends have blamed partially on cyber-bullying.

Also Christine Keith, 37, lost her life along with her teenage son Isaac Miller,14, in a domestic violence crime.
Adults bully too.
