Problem Solving!
If you don’t admit there is a problem, you cannot solve a problem-especially when a relationship is involved. Toxic People take this route! They refuse to take personal responsibility for their conflict.

Arkansas, personal responsibility and you
The Northwest Business Women’s Conference is Tuesday, September 17 in Arkansas and they expect an audience of 1300 people. I am honored to be the opening Keynote but also to be on the platform with Helen Hunt
As a former corporate executive I have learned that uniting with like minded people supports goals, focus and intent. When I discussed customizing the presentation to the audience the event planner said there would be everyone there from Executives of Fortune 500 companies to stay at home mom’s. How refreshing and how fun!
My mission in life is to give back more than I’ve received and connect my head and heart with my mouth. Being a professional speaker and author helps me connect with people that want to take personal responsibility, manage toxic people and communicate more appropriately.
Emotional Vampires: Liars, Backstabbers & Other Unpleasant Characters
Last week I spoke at two events in Oklahoma City. Thanks to Shannon Warren of the Oklahoma Ethics Consortium for writing the following article to accompany my presentation. Of course, as always, my focus is personal responsibility for our choices!
EMOTIONAL VAMPIRES:
Liars, Backstabbers& Other Unpleasant Characters
It’s almost as if an honest person doesn’t have a chance in business any more. According to Marsha Petrie Sue in her book Toxic People: Decontaminate Difficult People at Work without Using Weapons or Duct Tape:
· 4% of the population are accomplished liars – well over a million people;
· 1 out of every 30 people in high-performing business situations have been identified as a Backstabber. That’s way higher than what you’d normally encounter.
Your right to act – or not?
Just because you have the right doesn’t mean you should take it. This is true on SO many levels!
Sentimental responsibility?
Being sentimental is the luxury of emotion without paying for it. Oscar Wilde was talking about consequences of choice & responsibility?
Decontaminate Gossipers
Don’t pay any attention to those who talk behind your back. It simply means you are 2 steps ahead of toxic people.
You become what you think about
Thanks to Debbie for this one: I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it. Take personal responsibility for the negative input from Toxic People. Change your self talk to support YOU. Often times no one else will!
