Hi Brian – From Copyblogger to Teaching Sells and now this!

What a way to kick off the conversation on this topic!

Here’s what I loved about this first video:

(a) Cartoon – a different approach to video on the web today (Tony, you’ve got skills),

(b) Compelling presentation for choosing a different path in life – there’s another way to achieving the success YOU want than following the B-school path to corporate America. Lou doesn’t have a clue. He’s “caught up”.

(c) Brought to life some of what Steven Pressfield vividly describes in his book, The War of Art: “Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.” Lou doesn’t have a clue.

It’ll be interesting to see how Lou’s journey unfolds…

Waiting for more,
Marian

I remember meeting Edward de Bono when he spoke at my school in Scotland in the early 70s. I think that lateral thinking really describes creativity for people who are not naturally creative or not confident enough to originate ideas.

Your idea of, I guess, developing a means of organising creativity and/or helping the organised to become creative is interesting, albeit that this could be described as trying to mix oil and water / right brain and left brain etc?

However, since the addition of an emulsifier permits oil and water to mix, sort of, perhaps Lateral Action may become the web’s equivalent of Lecithin?

I shall look forward to seeing where this goes.

Brian,

Cool video; I’m subscribed & looking forward to more.

Lou reminds me of those boring accountants we like to make jokes about!
