Nobody questions upcoming president Obama knows how to charm his audience: as a social networking guru and media favorite, his way to the US presidency was made easy mostly by everybody’s gut-driven feeling of liking him and seeing him in a light of hope. Much has been projected onto this man as someone who unites and who will be the savior of us all. Most people have had a very emotional reaction to this man. The intellectual reaction has been mixed.

One of the characteristics that I admire the most about our country is the ability to stand as one nation and move forward together. By uniting in good will we hope to help our nation grow and develop improved relationships with the world around us (which we desperately need).

Experienced pilot leads by calm, vision and experience in critical time

Can you imagine? Your plane is coming down, you are dealing with your own emotions facing imminent death, you see your crew’s faces of despair in your mind’s eye and you sense your passengers’ horror and smell their fear?

US Airways pilot, Chesley Sullenberger, was already a hero before he saved his crew’s and passengers’ lives: he had envisioned, rehearsed, and trained others in safety strategies. He manifested his mission during flight 1549.

Women still dodge low balls in the public sphere. They are ready to brush off personal attacks to focus on what matters to them in politics or in the workplace.

I am not a politician and have no interest in becoming a political analyst. In regards to leadership and strategy, though, I’m in.

There are some major distinctions in the selection of vice-presidents during this election. Senator Barack Obama chose well-respected Joe Biden, McCain-like in regards to his experience, seniority, long track record, and credibility. He chose Biden because he brought in his extensive experience in foreign affairs, in the military, and decades of commitment and work of service. His choice was of someone who had extensively more experience than he has. Obama’s forte includes his charm, rhetoric, and motivational persona, his perceived weaknesses being lack of experience and lack of focused planning.

Many who fear they have lost part of their wealth these days of high oil prices, frozen wages, and increased cost of living, also feel like they are losing their minds. Our response to stressful situations is a combination of our genetic make-up and our response to environmental triggers. Some of us will shoot our physiology to the roof with a good dose of norepinephrine in the fight-or-flight response to this stressor, experiencing a wide range of physical symptoms including heart palpitations, clammy hands, dizziness, or a sense of impending doom with fear.

Some days it’s just better to stand back and let her attack someone else, but other days you just can’t stay out of the line of fire.
