\n“I am Responsible for My Relationships”<\/strong>
\nSince relationships are two-sided, you can be responsible only for your part. To take responsibility, a few guidelines help:
\n\u2022\tClearly see the difference between past and present.
\n\u2022\tDon’t inflict past relationships on present ones.
\n\u2022\tRelate on the basis of shared positive values. Avoid relating on the basis of prejudices and shared bias.
\n\u2022\tAs a leader, try to relate equally and impartially.
\n\u2022\tAvoid making the other person wrong.
\n\u2022\tFollow the Golden Rule: other people will sense when you are treating them they way you would want to be treated.
\n\u2022\tIncrease the other person’s self esteem.
\nAdapted from The Soul of Leadership<\/a><\/strong>, by Deepak Chopra (Harmony Books, 2010).<\/em>
\nGreen Chi: Your Relationship to Place<\/strong>
\nBeing connected to your community is a mainstay of psychological health. What better way to connect than through food? Really knowing local maple syrup if you live in New England is a matter of pride, as is really knowing a good gumbo in the Gulf South, or wild rice in the Great Lakes areas. Place-based food traditions celebrate diversity and community, while exploring the natural and cultural history of the region. Saving endangered culinary cultures also helps save indigenous plants and animals.
