I think that there may be more smoke associated with "Web 2.0" than fire. I have about 1,300 followers, many of whom try to sell me on "solutions" to help me gain more followers and many armed with "what Twitter REALLY is supposed to be." Twitter, m…

I'm not very eager to do something that's already been done. Instead, I'd like to see what we'd come up with using the brilliant people we have. Emulation is quite a different skill than innovation.

I kind of like not having a definition here. It leaves people open to looking, perhaps, more broadly in writing about their eating choices.

How did you hear about Smaller Indiana?
Friend
What is your greatest strength?
I see pathways others can't and then help them see a new opening for action that was once lost on them.

Oh, and I laugh. In the biz world, that may not sound like a strength, but it sure comes in handy. Rather than being so serious and significant, I start with the belief that our work can bring us both cash and comedy.
What are you working on?
I'm creating a book on habits and executive leadership -- why we keep doing the same things over and over...and how to stop, shift and create new results. Oh, and having finished my Masters (you can call me Mistress Amos), I'm jockeying for position in a Doctoral program.

Sleep is just practice for being dead.

Why join Smaller Indiana? What are you hoping to experience here ?
I'm looking for "my peeps" in the biz world -- intensely curious, generous, collaborative fast thinkers who are looking to think outside the box...and then burn that rascal.

Selling to or being sold by said peeps? I think, sometimes, that making the sale is the "booby prize." The real brass ring is in the relationships, the expanded community.

    Another February...and I Still Hate Black History Month

    It's still Black History Month. And, yes, I still hate Black History Month. Let me start by re-posting my first Black History Month homage from a couple of years ago:


    Why I Hate Black History Month
    15 February 2009



    It's officially the middle of Black History Month and I can't take it anymore.


    I hate Black History Month.

    Here's what I'm proposing (for those of us who want to be or are on Twitter. How about, for the rest of the month -- ChristmaChannuKwanzaTweetmas -- which encompasses many great holidays (and, for adherants, holy days), we consider this season of giving...and tweet about others.

    Willing Slaves, Pretending to "Have It All"

    I was recently asked to weigh in on the topic of "women having it all."

    What, of course, is triggering the increased interest we're seeing on the topic of "work-life balance" (don't get me started) is Sarah Palin's entry into the political race and her purposeful political branding as a "hockey mom" with five kidlings, a hubster and a full-time job.

    I have to admit: I had to corral my gag reflex.

    I'm often asked, as a speaker, to address this issue. So here's a little of the less "cleaned-up"… Continue

    Is the Brain "Plastic" and What Does that Have to Do with Business?

    Several months ago, I tapped out an article on change that mentioned the concept of neuroplasticity: that an injured brain can repair itself or re-map itself to regain or enhance thinking and brain function. Long the bailiwick of neuroscientists, this ability of the brain to generate surprising shifts in learning, thinking and acting, is now the province of bu… Continue

    Hi there! I really enjoyed reading your website and profile. I am an image coach, and I wonder if you would like to meet for coffee and chat. I notice you have many valuable services to offer clients, but none pertaining to training them to effectively use their image so they can achieve success more easily. What we wear can really change our lives! Enjoy the day! Annie
