"We are all diminished by the unresolved conflicts in our lives."

How often have you said?

"That's just who I am."
“Some people never change.”
“It’s in my DNA.”
“That’s the way I was raised.”
“I’ve always done it that way.”

It's not true.

The late Carlfred Broderick, a renowned marriage and family scholar at the University of Southern California, coined the term

Transitional Character

"A transitional character is one who, in a single generation, changes the entire course of a lineage. The changes might be for good or ill, but the most noteworthy examples are those individuals who grow up in an abusive, emotionally destructive environment and who somehow find a way to metabolize the poison and refuse to pass it on to their children. They break the mold. They refute the observation that abused children become abusive parents, that the
children of alcoholics become alcoholic adults, that 'the sins of the fathers are visited upon the heads of children to the third and fourth generation.' Their contribution to humanity is to filter the destructiveness out of their own lineage so that the generations downstream will have a supportive foundation upon which to build productive lives."

I changed.

I can help you change too.

My name is J. D. Taylor and I specialize in conflict resolution. You may have conflict in your interpersonal relationships. You may have conflict keeping commitments, promises, or expectations you set and make with yourself. You may have conflict producing the desired results with your projects at work. You may have conflict managing your time or your health. You may have conflict achieving balance, peace, and serenity in your life.

I have been engaged in the work of helping people change their lives for over 30 years. As a part-time warehouse worker, I advanced through levels of leadership and positions of power in one of the preeminent personal and organizational change companies in the world. After twenty years of service, I left the organization and served as CEO in one of the fastest growing private companies in America. My lifelong study, formally and informally, has been devoted to individual and organizational behavior.

My coaching and consulting work draws on my rich experiences as a business executive, family man, communications expert, master trainer, and human being to produce long-term, sustainable change in individuals, teams, organizations, communities, and societies. My specialty is the use of personal and professional anecdotes and parables to powerfully present profound principles that allow you to reflect on, relate to, and easily remember transformative concepts, theories, and skills. Cleverly called Taylored Tips, each tip includes insight that you can use immediately to, leave conflict
behind.
