Work hard.
Walk the talk.

Pathfinding and experimentation.

Lead through story. Communication.

Seven Habits

8th Habit
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1044141

Crew communication - I have the controls, you have the controls. Think about hosting a meeting with your brother. Make it quick. Consider holding a live lunch and learn.

Social Media Communication- Blogs, Facebook, Twitter. The good the bad the ugly.

Donald Trump the social media President. Social media as a tool rather than a weapon. Walk softly and carry a big stick.

Leverage outside platforms with your practice if you’re scared. Plus by connecting the within and the out you can have a little control over it.

Learning to deal with Trolls (particularly sophisticated ones) gives you the tools to deal with professional feedback, guidance and critiques (Criticism).

Zoom meetings in your personal life. Practice talking about the things that really matter to you and interest you. Consider providing resources.

How did you start? Journaling. Diary. School paper. Bulletin boards. Early blogs. Promotion was hard.

Participated in Toastmasters. I think having a group here at [WORK] would be a benefit. We could hold it in a hybrid in person/ remote fashion. It’s a great environment to be vulnerable and receive feedback from people who are in a peer environment.

Book review. The Medium is the Massage. Mention the other personal development book that was a quick read. I couldn’t remember it. All I know is it had few words. Remember healthy skepticism. The library is a great resource. What about a business library at [WORK]?

But if you can remember a book and it’s basic premise two months later. Then it might be a good book. “The Oz Principal” https://www.getabstract.com/en/summary/the-oz-principle/3882

Mention healthy skepticism. Everyone went crazy for Jim Collins book “Good to Great.” Everyone thought they could go from good to great, but many didn’t read the first book in that series “Built to Last.” Even fewer read “How the Mighty Fall.” These books are theory with technical evidence.

What resources are you missing? Have you pointed people in the right direction for their own exploration?

Upload your personal workflow manager to Teams? Teach others its basic premise?

Consider sharing your personal challenges. Maybe others have insight on how to solve them. Kids, household management, aging relatives and friends, community relationships.

Is the cost of our education and development providing appropriate returns? Are we at risk of consuming our capital?

If not, how can we approach this problem?

In expressing an idea to a friend, he remarked “that’s not original.” Not having the intent to be the next John Nash economist, I wondered why he said that. The world is a diamond mine, full of old ideas ready to be repackaged differently to consider changing the old way of executing tasks.

If someone capitalized your “thought/ idea” before you, we should be happy that the idea has come about. They probably could do it better than you could. It’s about sharing and personal accomplishment. John Nash again. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0268978/

Victor Hugo is the French poet and novelist who is credited with the phrase, "Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come." Much of his original French works had more to do with shifts from the battlefield to an arena of minds being open to ideas.

Writing notes. Apply for exploration of a problem and the communication of its solution in high level (brochure medium), summary (book level/ presentation level), primary source level (specific topic books, codes, regulations, case law, archived documentation).

Scan in your notes on books for others to reference. My goal is if I were to suddenly be whisked away by aliens that my children and grandchildren would have a record of puzzle pieces to put together, if they do wished. There is social and economic value in this habit.

Please give me the opportunity to be wrong. I may think I’m pure of intent, but nothing is perfect. We need each other’s experience, skills, and viewpoints. I’m looking for your help to provide feedback, guidance and support. Please let me know how this engages you. You can do a thing. I can do a thing. Together we can do great things. If you do it on your own nothing would be better. Please consider commenting, liking, and subscribing!
