		<description><![CDATA[When we make persuasive presentations or write proposals, our gut reaction is usually to hide any flaws in our logic and minimize any doubts the audience may have in our appeals.  But what if, instead of dancing around the audience’s issues, you shine a spotlight on them?  What if you took the words right out of their mouths and then provided a compelling answer to their doubts?  That’s the art of counter-arguing.

		<description><![CDATA[With all of the pressures placed on us, it appears that some form of stress will be inevitable for everyone. If you talk to ten people today and ask them each if they have experienced any stress in the past week, my guess is that you will get 10 out of 10 that will say “Yes.” Stress exists because of the pressures applied to us by ourselves, others and by our situation or circumstance.
