What a treat!

IT'S the DREAM TEAM!

Emily, Paula and myself were working with Dana on a project for MARS, Inc. last week... how great it is to work with incredible women who do amazing work. Just too good to be true!

THE BIG IDEA and BURRITO BREAKFAST

Every month or so I have the good fortune...actually the incredible fortune to gather for breakfast with some of the MOST creative brains I know. We get together to talk about what we are thinking about, our curiousities, hiccups, brain spurts and new connections. This is the most valuable time for me because I am in the company of people who a pushing the walls out a little, moving forward with their hearts (no matter what others think) and doing good work in the world.

This is a mack daddy burrito...the picture does not do it justice!

I think we have been getting together for more than 2 years.

In that time we have navigated a political and economic time event where creativity and whole brain thinking may have been pushed to the back burner. The exact opposite has happened. We have followed our ideas more closely, we have listened to our own hearts and the hearts of our clients more deeply. We are initiating programs and whole new organizations to address the new needs that are emerging!

This is MARTY- he had a GRANOLA BANANA SPLIT...holy cow!

I think we are more dangerous when we are alone with our ideas. I wish this wonderful experience gathering around a cup of coffee on everyone I know. Your TRIBE helps keep you whole, helps you move that idea forward with more courage, and helps you connect by the simple act of turning to one another.

OH PS.... did you know Dan Pink has a new book coming out soon? I can't wait! I will be doing some graphic facilitation work with Meg Wheatley in a few weeks, if you havent read her book...TURNING TO ONE ANOTHER... READ IT!

The Theory of FUN!

WOW... so much happening over here! Lots a fabulous work! A few weeks ago I was able to work with a fabulous group of graphic facilitators at a Glaxo Smith Klein Sales meeting- all 1800 of them. Then the next week it was off to work with the Global Communications Team for the World Bank and then last week with the 'dream team" at MARS, Inc.

Now, we are focusing on connecting IDEA360 and FutureWave Consulting! More on that soon! Look for a short film I am working on that will give you an idea of what that is all about.

FUN!

With so much deep challenge that just seems parked on doorsteps right now, the idea of FUN! seems compelling and also elusive. I love this series of videos that speak to behavior change and fun. I feel like I want to spend one day and explore what that might mean and how I might be able to bring it to my door step...which in turn means I bring it to others.
