 Business Case Studies The only way we can get other people to change, since we cannot control their behavior, is to change our own behavior. In order to do this, we need to 'speak' gender differences." -- Dr. Pat Heim Based on a real-life case study, the purpose of CHANGING THE RULES is to help viewers move from understanding to solving gender communication problems by identifying the invisible rules men and women play by, and providing a model for choosing effective strategies for most successful communication between genders in the workplace.

But Stone holds no bitterness. He simply tells his opponent, 'You did what you had to'. It is this selfless forgiveness that permeates all he does and sets the stage for the boys he mentors to learn important lessons about their lives and choices. Viewers of A Grander Goal learn to:
