By Georgianna Donadio, PhD – Most of us want to be a success in our lives. But when you look closely at what determines personal fulfillment and success, you’ll be intrigued and surprised. How do most American's define success? American Express conducted a study called “The Life Twist Study,” examining what American’s believe are the most important [...]
By Georgianna Donadio, PhD – For most of us it comes as no surprise that men and women really do think, behave and offer apologies in many ways fundamentally different from one another.

By Georgianna Donadio, PhD – Some of us may not realize just how important it is to create excellent relationships with our coworkers. Without the support or cooperation of those with whom we spend a significant amount of our time, our job performance and certainly our work satisfaction can suffer. Several studies have shown that [...]

Some of us try to avoid dealing with conflict, while others want to immediately resolve things head-on. Instead of trying to avoid the conflict, it can be constructive to objectively write down our thoughts and [...]
By Georgianna Donadio, PhD – As the mother of three children, I remember thinking after the births of my children: “Why doesn’t anyone tell the truth about how stressful having a baby and having multiple children really is?” There were plenty of other new moms I could commiserate with about the reality, opposed to the [...]
By Georgianna Donadio, PhD - We don’t often think of relationships as nutritious, but indeed they are.
