Christmas Coaching

Christmas is supposed to be a time of peace. Don't let interpersonal flare-ups make it something else. With all the tension and frustration of the season, it is easy to lose your cool and snap at people or argue pointless details.

Some pointers:

Don't argue the small stuff – – and it is all small stuff. There is no need to try to change someone else's opinion. It is what it is. Just leave it alone.

You don't have to win an argument and in fact you cannot.  For you to win someone must lose. Try not to create losers.

Model the way for your children and family. Facilitative discussion is far better than argument. Try to understand the other person's point of view.
