A communication face is the non-verbal part of communicating with someone. We all have one. Not all are a resting bitch face, but sometimes they look that way. Accidentally. How can you appear attentive and interested when all you really want to do is take a nap? How long can you sustain your bright-eyed and […]
COMMUNICATION FACE, HOW TO READ IT
ADVERSITY STAGE FOR THE WIN

The adversity stage was set for a beautiful Oregon afternoon in the woods. Why adversity? Cannonball Adderley: You know, sometimes we’re not prepared for adversity.
LAST CALL? NOT FOR YOU

Last call for alcohol? Nope, not that one. If you don’t hear from yourself on a regular basis, check in. If it’s busy, make a recall.

My first impression on the Germanic Front Street of Leavenworth, Washington? I met a guy from Poland. He said he was from Poland. I knew he was from somewhere else with his styling appearance.
