How can your perception in the bedroom relate directly to your speaking performance in the boardroom? Listen in as Author, Esther Perel, expounds on the connection between your intelligence in the bedroom and the boardroom.

Author, Esther Perel wrote her first groundbreaking book called, "Mating in Captivity," which introduced Americans to the inherent conflict between emotionally safe but boring intimacy, and thrilling but potentially risky eroticism, love, and lust.  She's currently at work on her new book, "The State of Affairs: Cheating in the Age of Transparency.”  Esther, who's also a couples therapist, has been recognized as one of the world's most original and insightful thinkers about couples, sexuality, and the peculiar paradoxes found in modern marriage.

The New York Times, in a cover story, named her the most important game-changer on sexuality and relationships since doctor Ruth, and her two critically-acclaimed TED talks have reached almost 10 million viewers. And she's been a guest on many radio and TV programs, including Oprah, the Today Show, and the Colbert Report.

 

Find out more about Esther Perel and her online relationship workshops and courses.
