Calm and assertive

I have become addicted to The Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic Channel. I don't have a dog; don't plan on getting a dog but yet I am intrigued by this man and his methods.

Cesar doesn't really whisper to dogs. That would be silly. He just teaches people how to treat their dogs like dogs. Not like children. He's all about not fighting Mother Nature which makes so much sense.

But the thing that really gets me is he talks about your energy. He constantly tells people to be calm and assertive and own their space. He talks about living in the present and not dwelling on past mistakes but taking control of what you have right now. I think dog or not, this mindset can work for anybody. It's confidence and comfort and heaven knows, we all need a little bit more of that.

One of my coworkers has suggested watching Cesar when I was complaining of the difficulty dealing with interpersonal relationships and communicating.
Good point.
