As a specialist in Adult Behaviors in Working Groups, my particular focus is: what has occurred in the first five years of the individual’s life. Many have said that the professional group is merely a replacement for the playground of our childhoods with bigger kids, greater emotional and physical defenses, and fears. 35 years of professional experience in many fields has taught me to be more understanding of the unmet needs and fears of the young child still very much residing in the heart and mind of the adults gathered around. My life’s work has borne fruit in the near completion of a Doctoral PhD in Organizational Systems and Psychology of Adult/Child development issues. While I scratched my head and pondered the unusual behavior I encountered in business, my efforts directed me to study seemingly erratic and stubborn behaviors. What was at the heart of arrogance, isolation, greed, and empathy? This is not new research and I will not claim to have created anything new. I am however committed to the cause spearheaded by so many in early childhood development. My leap and contribution is the effects that remain as these children grow to be citizens of the world and society. How do they react? What have they carried in their hearts even when they cannot remember the first two years of their life? One can say that through observation of a person's monologue on any subject, a trained observer can deduce the environment of this adult’s infancy. It’s possible and quite reliable. What is the value of such study? For organizations, it is achieving optimal results in collaboration with many adults with unmet childhood needs. It is raising the success potential by illuminating the causes of pullback, non-contribution, and territoriality in professional systems. The problem individual as well as the high performer is a quilt of life’s experiences laid on the muslin backing that is infant development. By understanding what makes humans act as they do, an organization increases its chances of success and cooperation. For the individual, he or she will come to know how and when healthy boundaries are important and whether the concern is current or built into our mindset at a very early age. The infant who screams in vain for its mother or anyone to hold it, comfort it, and pick it up may become the adult who is grasping, fearful, and malicious. It’s proven in the research. So why do we cut programs for infants and toddlers or their mothers? Why do we disparage teachers who are expected to compensate for poor post-natal practices? Criminal acts, isolation, unhealthy emotions, and lack of empathy stem from these negligence’s at a very important time in our development. Shawn Michael Nichols, MA, CC Shawnnichols.com

Gay Pride 2012

Posted on | June 24, 2012 | No Comments

Gay Pride Month – June 2012 Remember, the United States does NOT guarantee freedom and full rights to all of its citizens. Point fingers at other countries for human and civil rights violations but we are NOT the #1 democracy in the world! As I review gay life and the fight for equal rights, the necessity to remain mute for safety, and the discrimination the LGBT community still faces, I see we have been granted only baby steps for our huge efforts. Thank you to those who supported us, joined our fight, and put individual prejudices aside for the greater good! 20-25 years ago the LGBT community was faced with a fight for our lives. AIDS was killing our brothers and sisters and we joined together to care for others, change their diapers, pay their rent, and fight for decent medical care – in the richest nation in the world. Has the situation changed? Please tell me how it has changed. Shawn Nichols, MA. CC. Google Images 2012

How a Group Moves and Interacts May Be Linked to Chemical Signals.

Posted on | June 10, 2012 | No Comments

How a Group Moves and Interacts May Be Linked to Chemical Signals. An article in the New York Times by Amanda Schaffer regarding work done by Ajay Mathuru and Suresh Jesuthasan at the Biomedical Sciences Institute in Singapore hypothesizes that fish as a group respond to chemicals released by their injured brethren. The study of pheromones has long debated the messages sent by one individual or animal to another by chemical release. Is this one factor of the universal connectivity of species? Do we “know” one another by the chemicals released by various emotions? Facial displays and body language transmit more information than we are consciously aware of about another individual. This person is present and visually available. What happens when we cannot make eye contact? If this study, as part of the extensive research on body secretions is true, can we hypothesize that more is happening than science or we have yet determined? To dislike someone we have just met or to fear them, is it testosterone “wash” or is it the body’s ancient rhythms delivering a message to others in the vicinity. As groups were marched to their deaths, did they transmit a signal? Was it a panic caused by “mass hysteria” or was it a calm, resigned march because so many had already put their faith in God and were transmitting their calm to others who were less certain? Can we say that a rally, pep squad or political, becomes energized because we are all communicating to each other our excitement through chemical releases? Shawn M. Nichols Shawnnichols.com

Relational Concerns in Corporate Environments XI

Posted on | March 16, 2012 | No Comments

Relational Concerns in Corporate Environments XI Within a person-centered approach, (Rogers, 1990) the individual is able to create their understanding of the world, relate to others, and alter self-concepts, and change attitudes and behavior. These personal individual resources, invaluable to the organization, can only be accessed if a positive psychological climate is provided. Carl Rogers believes that there are three essential climates for growth: (1) genuineness, realness, congruence, (2) acceptance, caring, or prizing, in addition to (3) emphatic understanding. Shawn M.
