Kerry Mensior&amp;nbsp;and Diane Halfman&amp;nbsp;spent much of their careers in fostering awareness and helping people build the communication and de-escalation skills that make a big difference in both law enforcement and family life. Kerry is the CEO of the International De-Escalation Association&amp;nbsp;(IDEA) while Diane is the owner of SpaLife. Together, they join Matt Kelley on the show to discuss how mastering communication and de-escalation can lead to harmonious relationships within the family.
