  • Vengeance or Forgiveness: How Context, Culture, and Cohort Influence Our Responses

    Our social surroundings dramatically influence our paradigms. From our early childhood experiences to our educational systems to our social relationships, our brains are shaped to make automatic decisions on the paradigms we've adopted over the course of our lives. Will we seek vengeance or forgiveness? Will we seek division or unity? These responses, these actions, stem largely from beliefs we have absorbed from the context, culture, and cohort in which we are immersed. Our beliefs determine our behavior; thus, if we want to act wisely into those decisions, we need to become intentional about our strategic communication, both internal and external. How do we make a determination to step across that line and renew our minds? Find out on this week's episode of The Communication Architect!

  • Mindset Matters: What Offenses Can Teach Us about Influence and Identity

    Have you ever felt a little defensive about something someone said or did, and then the more you thought about it, the more you felt a wall being formed, brick by brick, between you and the other person? We all have moments where we feel isolated, frustrated, or caught off guard by someone's words or actions. At times, these events can feel like momentary glitches in our sense of self, but other times, they can be full-scale identity earthquakes that cause us to question the very core of who we are. How we respond to these moments can give us a glimpse into our social influences, our personal paradigms, and the unseen factors that drive our beliefs and our behavior. Our offenses can illuminate our allegiances. This week, in the second episode of the Mindset Matters series, Dr. Dunne will equip you with the tools you need to rise above faulty mindsets, deal with offenses, and communicate hope to those in your realm of influence.

  • The Friendship Formula Part 2: Finding Freedom in the Frailty

    In this episode, Part 2 of The Friendship Formula, Dr. Dunne continues to unpack the practical and theoretical social science research on relational development. Many of us try to find our worth, value, identity, and purpose in external identities, but the health of our interpersonal relationships really depend on facing an alternate truth: we will never be able to maintain healthy relationships with others if we do not first possess a healthy sense of self. Breaking the paradigm on fierce independence, this episode explains the socio-emotional base for vulnerability, demonstrating how our natural human insufficiencies are designed to draw us outside of ourselves, connecting us to others sociologically, biochemically, and generationally. There is freedom in our frailty.
