Your Name in Lights

Baby Steps

Idea Architects

Babies taking their first steps have a lot to teach us about getting in action and achieving results. They get back up when they fall down.

Idea Architects

"I don't have time to read blogs" said several people in their posts to a recent listserver conversation. "I don't have time to read newspapers" say workshop participants when I ask them if they follow the news. We are poised to become a nation of people able to read, but unaware of the world around us because we fail to do so. I get it. I, too, am busy, and browsing the mounds of information coming at me from so many sources requires a strategy and a skillset I am still developing.
