Oscar Wilde said, “Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.” This punishment that Oscar Wilde speaks of us is what makes self-actualization an incomparably rewarding but also increasingly lonely path. But the gift of fulfillment, wonder, and delight that it offers keeps us going, keeps us evolving towards a higher consciousness. Dreaming is an entryway into that endless field of energy. Modern day dysfunction undercuts the spiritual aspect of existence with its focus on the material ...

The failure of taking into account these fundamentals of behavior change in building emotional competencies has always led to the waste of millions of ...

Emotional Intelligence: Collaboration, Teams and Group IQ

Daniel Goleman found out that teams perform better when they are harmonious. Team performance greatly relies on the relationships and chemistry within the group. How members of a team interact with each other and the connection between them really determines its effectiveness (Goleman, 1998). Goleman has further gone to describe how social interactions, both positive and negative, change the brain and behavior of an individual for better or for worse (Goleman, 2006).

Wondrous, magical, fantastic, wonderful, fascinating – those are the indications of fairy tales, narratives unusual and frequently irrational.
