"We all want to help others learn, grow, and thrive, whether they are subordinates, students, patients, clients, or our children. Because of emotional contagion (direct brain to brain activation), we infect others around us with our own unconscious emotions and thoughts.

It all starts with resilience!" -- Richard Boyatzis, PhD, Distinguished University Professor, Case Western Reserve University, coauthor of the international bestseller, Primal Leadership and the new Helping People Change
