LEAP
Bethenny’s therapist does a lot more than treat New York neurotics. Xavier Amador, the clinical psychologist on the new Bravo reality show, Bethenny Getting Married?, not only counsels individuals but has also built a career as an author, executive coach and consultant with a slew of corporate and government clients.
Amador, 50, uses many of the same methods with both individuals and corporate clients. His book I’m Right, You’re Wrong, Now What?, lays out a strategy he calls LEAP, for listen, empathize, agree, partner. It applies to salary negotiations, to disagreements with partners or colleagues or underlings and even to challenging sales assignments.
