Monday, July 25, 2016: Donna Stoneham and Overcoming Obstacles

Claiming Our Power to Make Change‏

Are you more afraid of success than failure?

Do you undervalue your worth?

Balancing the positive and negative internal voices.

Are you unaware of the limitations that keep you from flourishing in your life, work, and relationships? These can be reasons why almost half of American adults are not "thriving," according to a 2011 Gallup poll. Transformational leadership coach and author Donna Stoneham discusses the obstacles to thriving and how to overcome them in The Thriver's Edge. We discuss how to thrive in a time of increasing fear and despair. Find Donna's book at your local bookstore or online.

"Page by page, Donna explores the many ways to develop and integrate the seven keys—trust, humility, resilience, inner direction, vision, expansiveness, and responsibility—that lead to thriving, illustrating her points with personal stories and inspirational examples of various people who have flourished in the midst of adversity."

Monday, May 23, 2016: A World without Violence

This Monday May 23rd from 1-2pm, KPFA Radio’s Women’s Magazine talks to internationally known NonViolent Communication facilitator Miki Kashtan about her vision of a world where we can cooperate more fully with each other and where all our needs are attended to which is meticulously described in her inspiring new book “Reweaving Our Human Fabric-Working Together to Create a Nonviolent Future.” Buddhist teacher Joanna Macy describes this book as a brave and brilliant book that shows how the radical interdependence of all things can be expressed in a more grounded and practical way for social as well as personal transformation. Her innovation in social change theory follows in the the lineage of Gandhi and MLK and move beyond nonviolent communication as a personal development resource to help transform the larger systems and norms that govern our world.
