Inspire Possibility Show with Mark Susnow and guest, Dr John Gray, author of Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus
Guest, Dr John Gray
John helps men and women understand, respect and appreciate their differences in both personal and professional relationships. His approach combines specific communication techniques with healthy, nutritional choices that create the brain and body chemistry for lasting health, happiness and romance. His many books, videos, workshops and seminars provide practical insights to effectively manage stress and improve relationships at all stages of life and love.
John’s books have sold over 50 million copies in 50 different languages. His groundbreaking book, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, was the best-selling book of the 1990s. It launched his Mars Venus book series that forever changed the way men and women view their relationships.
John’s newest book is titled, Work with Me: The 8 Blind Spots Between Men and Women in Business. Work with Me teaches us how to achieve a more comfortable and productive work environment. John co-authored the book with Barbara Annis, a global expert on Gender Intelligence whose teachings and trainings have transformed the culture of numerous Fortune 500 companies and international governments.
Revealed for the first time in Work with Me are the Eight Gender Blind Spots, the leading false assumptions that create problems between men and women at work and at home. These blind spots were discovered using science, corporate case studies and the gender-based research from consulting firms and leading universities. John and Barabara also used the results from a very candid survey of over 100,000 men and women executives in Fortune 500 companies.
Work with Me details the biological and social influences that compel men and women to think and act as they do. It also offers clear solutions to help men and women understand how each gender communicates, solves problems, makes decisions, resolves conflict, leads others, and deals with stress.
John continues to travel the world teaching communities and companies the best ways to improve their relationships and communication. He has appeared on Oprah, Dr. Oz, The Today Show, CBS Morning Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, The View, and many others. He has been profiled in Time, Forbes, USA Today, TV Guide and People. He was also the subject of a rare three-hour special hosted by Barbara Walters.
John Gray lives in Northern California with his wife of 28 years, Bonnie. They have three grown daughters and four grandchildren. He is an avid follower of his own health and relationship advice.
Inspire Possibility Show
Genesis
I am naturally curious—curious about how i can make my experience of life more fulfilling and more interesting which has led me down many roads. New destinations, new realities, some amazing people—masters of their game—all preparing me for this moment.
We’ve heard the adage that we teach what we want to learn. I wondered if there were possibilities in my life that I wasn’t yet exploring. With that in mind at the turn of the new millennium I made a leap of faith…from successful trial lawyer to life coach and strategist and InspirePossibility.com was created. That was 19 years ago.
The Inspire Possibility Show was the next step. Each week I have conversations with various cutting-edge thought leaders who inspire, enlighten and entertain us. They inspire us to get out of our comfort zones and to explore possibilities that are out there waiting for us. I invite you to join in.
A Few More Things More About Me.
Being a musician has been and still is a lifelong exploration. Being the author of Dancing on the River: Navigating Life’s Changes and the Soul of Uncertainty, A Fable for our Times, has inspired me to look deeper. Playing sports, since I’ve been a kid has been a mainstay of my life. Through it all being a dad has been most fulfilling.
