This inspired conversation with the positively effervescent Alison Armstrong explores broad terrain ranging from biological and behavioral differences between men and women (and strategies for mitigating those effectively) to the integration of masculinity and femininity, to the unique challenges men face today, to Alison's latest online "extraordinary relationship" course LUX.

Armstrong’s exploration of human behavior began in 1991, with her decision to study men: “To find out how I was bringing out the worst in them. And hopefully, how to bring out the best.” Her success in understanding men naturally led to studying women’s behavior and making vital connections between the two. As her work evolved over decades, Alison now illuminates human characteristics that precede and express themselves regardless of gender, age and upbringing. She distinguishes normal human instincts that compel both men and women to behave in ways that contradict and undermine our own purposes, goals, values, needs and relationships. Besides fulfilling the need to understand “Why” people behave as they do, Alison offers practical, partnership-based alternatives. Through her seminars, books, online programs and media contributions, she has been giving millions of people access to more fulfilling lives, loving relationships, stronger families and
productive organizations.

Alison is a sought-after speaker and thought-leader amongst people with the desire to live empowered lives. Her philosophy and approach are referenced and taught by other authors, speakers, business consultants and therapists. Her live events and over 100 hours of online programs are available at alisonarmstrong.com.
