And now I am…

Becoming Your Best Self: Will you help me?

question mark by Marco Bellucci.jpg

Thanks for reading my blog. I really appreciate it. In fact, I really want to know what you think about something.

You see, I'm doing some research for a new project I'm working on (Top Secret - for now). I'd LOVE to get your opinion. It won't take long, I promise. I value your ideas!

Will you take 5 minutes to complete three fill-in-the-blank statements for me?

Just complete these three statements in the comments below. 

  1. ‎"What can help me be my 'best self' is ___________."
    (Think in terms of what supports, what help, what products and/or services, what advice do you seek/have you sought to improve yourself and reach your personal best?)
     
  2. "What frustrates me about trying to become my 'best self' is __________."
    (What have you tried that was unsuccessful? What gets in your way of applying tools/advice you've received? What confuses you? What's missing in your knowledge/skill bank?)
     
  3. "Successful experts/gurus in self-improvement, personal development, or 'life-hacking'  include __________."
    (Who is a good source for information, products, and/or services for self-development?) 

Again: Thank you for your time and input!

How to increase creativity, curiosity, and learning: An exercise

I love learning. I love being creative. So I really enjoyed listening to recorded Creativity in Business Telesummit (CIBT) interviews with creative leaders, hosted by my friend Michelle James of the Center for Creative Emergence. I got new insights, learned new information, infused new energy into my creative thinking, and re-invigorated my passion from listening to the stories and practices shared by these various practitioners and creativity thought leaders.

All of the CIBT sessions featured some kind of an exercise or practice the expert wanted to share on how to bring more creativity to business (in addition to lots of juicy food for thought). I want to share one of these exercises with you:
