Living Life Passionately

<p>Professor of Business Administration at the University of Delaware and co-author of “Both/And Thinking”, Dr. Wendy Smith, shares three of her Canadian mom Jewel’s most important lessons: It’s all about people, so create a community; focus on possibilities, not obstacles; and make time for fun in life. We also spoke about Wendy’s work with strategic paradoxes, and how now, more than ever, we need to shift from either/or thinking to both/and thinking. Wendy discusses this “inclusive” way of thinking and shares a few tips on using it every day to grow from dilemmas (like balancing work and family) instead of shrinking from them. We learn about the history of paradox theory, and its connection to quantum physics, psychoanalysis, and spirituality. </p> <p>You can learn more about Wendy and "Both/And Thinking", and connect to her, here:</p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Book Website:<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> <span class="s2"><a href= "http://www.bothandthinking.net">www.bothandthinking.net</a></span></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendykimsmith/"><span class= "s2">https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendykimsmith/</span></a></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s3">Twitter: @profwendysmith</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Facebook: <span class="s2"><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/Wendy-Smith-111141458290288">https://www.facebook.com/Wendy-Smith-111141458290288</a></span></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s3">Instagram: @prof.wendysmith</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">To contact Ana, to be a guest, or suggest a guest, please send your mail to: info@thankyoumama.net</span></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">For more about “Thank You, Mama" and to subscribe to the newsletter, please visit: <a href= "http://www.tajder.com/"><span class= "s2">http://www.thankyoumama.net</span></a></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">To connect with Ana on social media:</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s3"><a h
