Roundtable: What We Love About the United States

Many people like to criticize the United States. Even US citizens love to bag on our country, and while many of our shortcomings are real and even serious, it’s also good to remember what’s good about this nation. As we celebrate Independence Day, we have a conversation about what the United States has gotten right, both now and in the past.

Culture: How to Read a Room (Part 1) 

Have you ever gotten an incorrect read on what’s going on in a meeting, friend group or social situation? Most of us have. Whether you’re an extrovert or introvert, emotional intelligence and discernment are relational muscles to develop. Our friend Dr. Mike Bechtle is an expert in career and professional development. His tips for how to read a room, assess a situation and win in social and business environments will save you years of trial and error. In part one of our conversation he addresses the need for interpersonal experience, why “fake it till you make it” is a bad strategy, and how to avoid misreading someone’s intentions. 

 How to Read a Room: Navigate Any Situation, Lead with Confidence, and Create an Impact at Work 

Inbox: Feelings for a Non-Believer

Our listener is asking how she can work through having feelings for a guy who isn’t a Christian. Lisa Anderson weighs in.
