In a world where decisions are shaped in seconds, the art and science of persuasion have never been more crucial. Whether we’re making a sales pitch, applying for a job, or simply trying to gain agreement in everyday life, understanding the psychological triggers that influence human behavior is a vital skill.c a renowned psychologist and expert on influence, outlines six foundational principles of persuasion—what he famously calls the “Six Pillars of Persuasion.” These principles are not magical tricks; they are rooted in social science and human nature. When used ethically, they allow communicators to build trust, foster agreement, and create a positive, lasting impact. Let’s dive deeper into these six mighty pillars of persuasion. 1. RECIPROCITY: GIVING TO RECEIVE Humans are hardwired to return favors. From childhood, we are taught…

As I walked onto the stage in Qatar, surrounded by global leaders and dignitaries, something stirred deep inside me. I wasn’t only stepping forward—I was stepping back. Back into the shoes of a 12-year-old girl, whose world was shattered in an instant, at the very beginning of the Lebanese Civil War. It was an unforgettable day when my favorite and older brother, Robert, was killed in front of my eyes as a bomb tore through our living room. One second, we were having a heartfelt conversation about my dreams — he was encouraging me to become a teacher and believe in myself. Next, I was screaming his name through smoke and flames, watching his hand disappear into the fire. The bombs didn’t stop. With each explosion, the ground trembled beneath…

A woman of royal lineage—and boundless purpose—leads a movement of global healing and transformation. In a world where titles and status too often define leadership, HRH Princess Dr. Moradeun Ogunlana stands as a living reminder that true power lies in service. A global humanitarian, transformational leader, and the Founder of African Women’s Health Project International (AWHPI), she has dedicated her life to bridging gaps in healthcare, empowering women, and uplifting humanity across continents. I was first introduced to Her Royal Highness through the radiant Dr. Michelle Mras, a mutual soul committed to service and change. When the three of us connected, it wasn’t only professional—it was personal. We shared something unspoken yet undeniable: the heartbeat of women who carry the spirit of protectors and nurturers—visionaries driven by compassion and purpose.…

Today, we are confronted with division at every level—wars, toxic environments, social fragmentation, and a profound uncertainty about the future. Many people feel that the world is drifting further away from unity and peace. However, these crises reveal an important truth we often overlook: material solutions alone are insufficient. Without healing the human spirit, no external change can endure. Spirituality is not about escaping from the world or clinging to rigid dogma; it is about embracing a deeper understanding of oneself and the world. True spirituality involves recognizing our connection to a greater Source—and, through that, to one another. It reminds us that beneath our differences, we all share the same breath of life. This awareness changes everything. For those seeking to develop or deepen their spirituality, my workbook, *Pathways…

The only thing more precious than time is who we spend it with. —LEO CHRISTOPHER In the whirlwind of our everyday routines, amidst the relentless demands of work, errands, and the endless scroll of notifications, a fundamental truth often fades into the background noise: the delicate and transient nature of our being. We navigate our days with an implicit assumption of continuity, a silent belief in the unwavering presence of those who illuminate our lives. We take for granted the warmth of their smiles, the comfort of their voices, the steadfast support they offer, seldom pausing to consider the profound fragility of it all. What if the tapestry of our relationships, so richly woven with shared experiences and unspoken understandings, were suddenly to unravel? What if the opportunity to articulate…

Somewhere in the hustle of life, we forget. We forget that we once dreamed of more. That we once believed in possibilities. That we once whispered bold ideas to ourselves in the quiet moments before doubt crept in. Over time, responsibilities, fears, and the opinions of others crowd out those dreams until they fade into a distant “what if.” But here’s the truth: It’s never too late to be who you might have been. History is filled with people who prove this point. People who defied expectations—not only society’s, but their own. People who woke up one day and decided that their story wasn’t over yet. That their best chapter hadn’t been written. That they were ready to become more. Take Grandma Moses, for instance. Anna Mary Robertson Moses was…

From the beginning of time, human beings have turned to sound and movement to express what words alone cannot. Before we ever wrote poetry or composed formal music, we hummed, clapped, swayed, and sang. These natural expressions weren’t taught—they were instinctive. They were born out of something sacred inside us that needed to connect, to release, to heal. Music and movement have always been more than art forms. They are deeply embedded in our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Long before research confirmed the health benefits of rhythm and melody, people across generations and cultures understood the profound effect that sound and motion have on the human spirit. Music is mentioned over 500 times in the Bible—one of the most ancient and influential texts in history. This is more than…
