NEW IDEA. NEW STYLE. HEIDENS My dream began as I grew up with an idyllic childhood in Essex in England. My father an arable farmer, my mother a professional florist, and my sister, later to become a successful City PA, and four grandparents and four great grandparents. I attended the same all boys school as my father had, the Colchester Boys’ High School, and it was here that I began to be influenced by luxury living, without really realising it. Smart uniforms, a conservative culture, class mates with successful fathers, from business owners, farmers and doctors. We leafed through GQ magazine even at that early age and day dreamed as we turned the pages of Rolex catalogues and were in awe of the boy a year above us who tailored his own school blazer and only used designer gym bags and gym kit. Turning 16, I had been influenced by those exciting and glamorous US TV shows growing up in the 80’s which set the scene for my later teenage years. Those TV shows developed my dream of living in California which stayed in my mind, and I made the most of being inspired and living that dream life in my own way in Essex, in England by lifting weights, watching Pumping Iron, listening to the Beach Boys and following inspirational fashion and movie stars, but still California dreaming. Little did I realise that I would end up following the heard into higher education, falling in love with simply messing around on the farm with my dad, my mums cooking and following the pursuit of becoming a ‘City boy’ in London, with its many ups and downs and ending up hitting rock bottom, only to rise to the top becoming recognised as one of the most influential people in my county of Essex, and a popular figure on the French Riviera with a Champagne lifestyle, filled with fast cars, fast women and living life on the edge of my bank balance – but enjoying every moment!

It is my hope that parents with young children are reminded of the true standards of civility that this great nation was built upon, and call out and correct and mentor their youth to firm but fair speech. The goal in writing this book is for the reader is to develop emotional (and spiritual) stamina so when an offense occurs, we don’t react out of emotion but out of wisdom. The goal is to encourage the reader to examine where they are on what I call the “civility spectrum” and assess their responses and interaction on that spectrum, and to turn down the heat when it seems like the only response is harsh and hurtful. It is my prayer that this book has such an impact on the reader, that civility and a civil response becomes the norm and not the exception in their life and in our world.

Her new book “Emotional Civility-The New Standard for Global Success” scheduled for release this Spring, is a critical piece in a time where civility in our world seems to have vanished. The book reminds us of the powerful concept to not allow our emotions to control our speech or conduct, and reminds us of the impact of emotional incivility on our societies and communities. She has dedicated this moment in her career to examining the abandoned value of civil interaction; and calls us to action to apply civility as our standard to bring success, peace, and safety to our homes, communities, and nations.
