If you take a look there, you'll find lots of references to the kinds of issues you identify in your comment. Look especially at things like: "Love yourself and grow powerful." As for your extremely kind words, thank you very much. I accept them and take psycho-nutrient value from them. (And it's hard to write that because there's a little voice inside me saying I should be modestly denying you your right to express your positive opinion.) My Coulson great-grandfather died in Lincolnshire, but in Grimsby. According to the members of my family who vaguely remembered him, "it served him right." They're tough talking in Yorkshire. Christopher Hi again Graham,

Sorry to have taken so long to respond but my time’s been taken up for days adding the Dynamic Living archive.

And it's so very helpful at last to be able to recognize and understand better some of my less charming character traits, which have so puzzled me all my life. I have to admit to having frequent lapses in tact, both unintentional and intended, resorting sometimes even to outright put-downs, just like the presenter whose scorn you describe, when my poor situational judgment has allowed me to switch goals from the original aim to one of combating the other person's point of view. It's a shame I didn't understand this earlier, when my HR career might have been a great deal less fraught!! Mais c'est la vie, n'est-ce pas? Turning to Bridlington, we're close but no cigar, I fear! My forebears do indeed originate from Yorkshire but more recently (Grandfather) from Bourne in Lincolnshire. I much look forward to reading your next amazingly revealing topic and do so thank you for making your excellent work so freely available, which must be helping countless numbers of folk around the globe. What a wonderful thought! With kind regards. Graham Coulson. It’s true, so true!
