Gifts From My Father
POSITIVE LESSONS ON BUSINESS AND LIFE FROM A JOURNEY THROUGH DEMENTIA
Can a man who is literally losing his mind and mental capacities teach you anything?
In the book Gifts From My Father, the author explores the journey of a brilliant man who is facing the challenges of dementia. Despite his fading capacity, he continues to impart important lessons to his son and others through his actions and loving support.
Trust, appreciation, encouragement, and relationship are a few of the feasts of his gifts. In Gifts From My Father, you'll laugh and you'll cry....but mostly you'll be inspired by the stories of understanding, respect for others and the 'Gifts' to live life positively and intentionally.

I'm so excited to help you, I wrote Gifts From My Father. But I realized that more is necessary so I compiled the 38 Questions you need to ask yourself and a facility when looking to place a loved one. When is the right time to move someone? What do I look for when I visit a facility? What questions should I ask them?
So many of us are unprepared for this experience and I wanted to help.
Please download the 38 Questions and let them help you through the difficult decisions you are facing.
It's a 'Gift' my father would have wanted everyone to have!
Understanding Conflict
What are we fighting for?
Is there someone important in your life that you just can’t seem to get along with?
A friend, a mate, a co-worker? So often it’s the ones we love who are the most difficult to talk to. Dr. Voyles' new book “Understanding Conflict” teaches conflict resolution skills that really work.
“Dr. Rick Voyles is an exceptional ADR practitioner whose deep understanding of human nature has informed his multi‑disciplinary approach to conflict resolution.”
–Deborah S. Laufer, Director, Federal ADR Network–
The Understanding Trap
How Attempts To Correct Misunderstandings Can Escalate Conflict
Misunderstandings can cause conflict. But how do you resolve a conflict caused by a misunderstanding?
It seems reasonable to suspect that correcting a misunderstanding would be the best way to end the conflict. However, attempts to correct a misunderstanding can very easily escalate a conflict. With over 20 years of experience working with people in conflict, Dr. Voyles provides a step-by-step description of how our best efforts to get understanding from the other person can become a trap, not only denying us the goal we seek, but potentially making that conflict worse.
Learning how to stay out of the Understanding Trap will improve all of your personal and professional communications. Getting a clear look at what is actually happening when we attempt to correct another person’s misunderstanding, will change the way you approach conflict forever.
