(*Register at left to receive the full series. Non-GenderCoaches.com community members only.) “Success is what happens when you do what works over and over and over again.” Becoming successful can seem boring. It’s a very mechanical process. One expert in success principles explains it like this. He said success is achieved by: Taking an action [...]
we are all amazing / awesome
The 10-year-old daughter of a client wrote this poem. She really tapped into the fun, free-wheeling energy of the feminine. The poem also reflects one of our messages – we are all perfect just as we are. Men and women are exactly as they as are meant to be. How you and your partner (present [...]

Relationship Success Series – Bad Habit #2: Doing It All Yourself
Have you ever felt truly alone? Several years ago, long before I met Donna, I lived in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In 1999, I went home to Edmonton, Alberta to spend Christmas with my family. On the flight back to Toronto, about 10 minutes from landing, I was overwhelmed by loneliness. I lived in a city [...]

Congratulations Lady Gaga
On February 13, Lady Gaga won several awards at the 2011 Grammy’s, including Best Pop Vocal Album. We’re writing not only to congratulate her, and the other winners, on their accomplishment, but more so because of what Lady Gaga said during her acceptance speech.

Forgiving Ourselves
Like half the planet (at least half the planet fortunate enough to have the luxury of a computer), I was on Twitter a few minutes ago sending out tweets, re-tweeting, messaging and all those other things we do in the era of social networking. Anyway, I came across a quote I liked and I added [...]
2011…Our Year in Pre-View

Return to Innocence
I was brushing my teeth a few minutes ago getting ready for bed, and I thought about a card Donna got me last Valentine’s Day. The card is one of two that I’ve had sitting on my desk for almost a year. The front of the card (see image at left) is a simple black [...]
The Science of Broken Hearts
In a recent blog post, Lynne McTaggart, the bestselling author of “The Field” and “The Intention Experiment”, explained what’s known as the “widowhood effect” (i.e., when a spouse dies shortly after their partner) and it’s medical cause, “stress cardiomyopathy”, in which parts of the heart become dysfunctional as a result of extreme emotional distress. It [...]
The Power of Thoughts, Words, and…Sometimes…Deeds
Donna recently received this blog post from Lynn MacTaggart, whom has been conducting global experiments into the power of intention and directed thought to effect improvements in people’s health, environmental challenges and political strife around the planet. We believe her comments in this blog post apply to men and women too. Pay particular attention to [...]
America – “You Can Do Magic” (Video and Lyrics)
It’s said men don’t articulate their feelings very well, and it’s true. But men – all men – are very tuned into how it is between men and women, into the power of women in and over their lives. It’s an energy that both attracts men and makes them nervous. Men don’t talk about it, [...]
Just for a Laugh
A woman gives birth to twins, a girl and a boy. Her husband isn’t there, and she doesn’t want to name them without him seeing them first. But the hospital insists that the babies must be named by the end of the day. Crazy Uncle Louie overhears this and he names them (unbeknownst to the [...]
Is your relationship getting in the way of your partnership?
That may sound like an odd question. “Relationship” and “partnership” are often seen as almost interchangeable terms, so how can one get in the way of the other? The concepts of course are related but the difference between them is important to understand. If you are up to creating something within your organization, or with [...]
Miracles Take Many Forms
Awhile back “Bill” and “Carla”, shared during their “Divine Dance of the Sexes” Couples Weekend Workshop that they had recently been told they couldn’t have kids. Carla desperately wanted the experience of having a family. Bill felt helpless because he believed there was nothing he could to make that happen for her. In the Divine [...]
What Can You Learn About Relationships from a Fork?
Donna has a favourite fork. It actually is a really nice fork. Its heavy and sturdy. It has a wide base and long tongs. It always seems to be shiny, as if just polished. It feels really nice in the hand. It’s a good fork, and it’s Donna’s favourite. I know it’s Donna’s favourite fork [...]
Healthy Love, Healthy Life – Part 2
We all know that a healthy relationship contributes to your quality of life, big time! Donna and I, however, came across some statistics that show just how big an impact the quality of your intimate relationship has on your physical and mental well-being. It’s pretty surprising. In a multi-year study, Statistics Canada found that men [...]

The Law of Attraction for Couples
Have you ever had an instinctive “knowing” that your relationship is more than simply a connection with another person? That there is a purpose in that connection? That it’s a natural channel for attracting what you want in life, whatever that means for you – being cherished, good health, a successful business, healthy finances? Donna [...]
She Wants More Intimacy and He Doesn’t…Could This Mean He’s Gay?
The following post from a public forum came to my attention the other day. It is written by a woman who is expressing her frustration over the fact that she and her husband haven’t had sex in four months. Here’s what she said: “I think we all get the ‘I’m too tired,’ line, and its [...]

Cell Biologist Shows How Stress in Relationship Damages Immune System (VIDEO)

Watch the following video by cell biologist, author and international speaker, Dr. Bruce Lipton, about [...]
5 Steps to Start You on the Path from Good to Great in Your Relationship
1) Know that you deserve a great relationship and a great life. You deserve more intimacy and to keep romance alive in your life. Don’t settle for good. That’s the normal thing to do, but greatness is who you are naturally. Marianne Williamson has written, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our [...]
The Lighter Side of Gender Differences
OUT FOR LUNCH You know you’re out with the girls when Jennifer, Gail and Suzanne call each other Jennifer, Gail and Suzanne. When the server comes with the bill the conversation gets really quiet as the new focus becomes figuring out each order, calculator in hand – including tax – to the exact penny. The [...]

Donna and I hope you will take a minute to read the following vision drafted by the Evolutionary Leaders Counsel in response to a request from US President Obama.

Why Looking Into a Woman’s Eyes is Critical
I remember just like yesterday the doctor slipping my baby girl into the cradle of my arm after she was born. Right from the beginning we spent most of our time together looking at each other’s faces – gazing into one another’s eyes. It was a different story when my son was born. The difference [...]
Michael Jackson – “Dangerous” (VIDEO and LYRICS)
Michael Jackson’s song “Dangerous” paints an arresting picture of the mystery, magic, and yes, “danger” that women are for men. Those qualities are why men are so drawn to women. They are what make your relationship spicy. They are what make understanding women so tricky. They are what drive men crazy…until they understand the magic [...]

Why Women Return to Their Abusers
It’s not uncommon for abused women to return over and over again to the men who abused them. This obviously begs the question, “Why?” Another common question is why do women repeatedly enter abusive relationships with different men? These questions are on a lot of people’s minds this weekend after reports that 21-year-old hip-hop superstar [...]
4 Tips to Survive a Recession
On February 15, Dr. Richard Petty, a British doctor at a private clinic for men, said that chronic stress, like that associated with an economic recession, can cause testosterone levels in men to drop. He explained that testosterone contributes to sexual function, circulation, muscle mass, mood, memory and concentration. He said that prolonged stress over [...]
Dating Tips for a Fun and Romantic Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is supposed to be fun and romantic. That expectation, however, can also make this time of year stressful for men who want to “Wow!” their partner but are not exactly sure how to do that, and for women who want to be “Wowed!”, but are nervous about what might be coming around the [...]
Why Do Men Buy Sex?
In the December 2008/ January 2009 of Scientific American Mind I read an intriguing article written by Nikolas Westerhoff called “Why Men Buy Sex?”. It seems the high numbers of men that buy sex has made prostitution an interesting field of study for psychologists and researchers. A fascinating notion that Westerhoff points to is that [...]
Albert and Dolly
Do you know who said, “How was I able to live alone before I met you? Without you I lack self confidence, passion for work, enjoyment of life.” The answer is Albert Einstein. He said this in a letter to his wife, Dolly in 1932. The rest of the quote reads: “In short, without you [...]
Are Men and Women Really That Different?
People say they know they are different, but it seems to us that a lot of the tension between men and women occurs because men expect women to think and behave like men, while women expect men to think and behave like women. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? What are your experiences?
How to Know When Your Man is Checking Out
A rocky relationship can occur like an out of control spiral as both partners feel helpless to get a solid grip on what’s going on. Over time men and women will “check-out” of the relationship when they don’t get their needs met. This process unfolds differently for each gender. When there is struggle a man [...]
