43.  Gentle Interventions

Gentle interventions, if they are clear, overcome rigid resistance.  If gentleness fails, try
yielding or stepping back altogether.  When the leader yields, resistances relax.  
Generally speaking, the leader's consciousness (awareness) sheds more light on what is
happening than any number of interventions or explanations.  Few leaders realize how much
how little will do

Sexual Assault Awareness
About 17% of American women – or 1 in 6 - have been the victims of an attempted or
completed rape in their lifetime.  About 3% of American men — or 1 in 33 — have
experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime.  15% of sexual assault and
rape victims are under age 12.   Next time you are in a room of 100 people imagine: 17
women, 3 men or 15 children are estimated to have been victims of sexual violence.  

Victims of sexual assault are: 3 times more likely to suffer from depression.  6 times more likely
to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.  13 times more likely to abuse alcohol.  26 times
more likely to abuse drugs.    4 times more likely to contemplate suicide.
