arena where success is not achieved at the
expense of exclusion of others.

solutions or agreements in your relationships.

"win" for all is ultimately a better long-term
resolution than if only one person in the
situation had gotten his way.

understood

inspires openness and trust.

open mind to being influenced by you. This
creates an atmosphere of caring, and positive
problem solving.
