<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">An authentic, thought-provoking discussio to spark creative ideas about community building in any company or startup - and beyond IT. Affirmative, inclusive, expansive, and very "right brain."</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Employee engagement being at around 30% -- indicated in many articles in the last few years -- good indicator that most employees feel no sense of partnership, of ownership in the success of the company. And that's how they work. Shouldn't 30% be an indicator of level of management/ownership success, too? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Why not change that completely with one point on an employee engagement checklist: How can you make employees feel it's their company to build? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What new business successes and great surprises would happen if that were a firm-wide initiative? Let's try it... It's a crazy idea - but so were most of today's models and inventions when they began.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>5 Ways highest employee engagement could result in much greater business success in surprising ways:</b></span><br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. EMPLOYEE PARTNER COWORKERS 110% ENGAGED: </b>Employees who feel a lot like owners, partners, family -- who feel it's their mission; who feel their pride is not only recognized but truly matters - can become not just engaged but 110% engaged. Creativity, innovation, affirmative environments, productivity -- yowza client service -- can go up proportionally.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. <b>MANAGEMENT/OWNERSHIP 110% ENGAGED: </b>Management and ownership designed around that model have to get creative! But they will also begin to feel 110% engaged - even if they have to share a lot more of the glory, the recognition, the financial success. But they will find a new success: Greater happiness at work; likely much higher and more sustainable long-term overall bottom line. And incredible boost in employee recruiting and retention -- of the best, most creative employees.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;">A creatively engaged partner coworkers milieu is a whole new kind of success. True 1000 Year Business Thinking. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;">Companies with happy engaged partner-coworkers will be more creative. There will be fewer personnel or personal problems to handle -- less stress and thus fewer health issues. The recruiting/retention cost savings, loss of company skill/knowledge base and cost of retraining with high turnover -- could be reversed.</span></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. CLIENTS 110% ENGAGED/HAPPIER. </b>Companies with 110% creative employee (partner coworker) engagement -- and even higher management/ownership happiness -- will find that it spills over with clients. It's contageious. Clients will begin to feel more 110% engaged! More reach out to clients to find out how they can feel more like this is "their company too." This can also impact the bottom line in new ways.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. CREATIVE INNOVATION/PRODUCTIVITY INCREASED - NEW IDEA GENERATION. </b>Companies with 110% creative employee engagement will find creative, innovative ideas -- as well as creative productivity -- sprouting constantly. To encourage this -- as well as greater recognition -- companies need a way to capture those ideas and feed them back to the whole company; software programs that capture and circulate creative employee ideas can change the "participatory" sense of the environment. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When we're doing <a href="http://www.rightbrainthinktank.blogspot.com/p/rba.html" target="_blank">Right Brain Aerobics for Creativity & Innovation organizational training </a>-- the number of new ideas generated can soar -- indicating all employees have creative, pent up ideas with nowhere to go! Let them go somewhere, recognize and pull for employee creative genius -- and you'll get it. As well as much higher employee sense of partner-coworker engagement. Shoot for 110% creative engagement - not just improving the current 30% a little.<br /><br />Why not do this with clients, too? BUT -- </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">----------------------------------------------------------</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OinICeiKbiI/Vf2lp8OGrGI/AAAAAAAABNE/b4m3rPwFzOM/s1600/iStock_000005862162XSmall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OinICeiKbiI/Vf2lp8OGrGI/AAAAAAAABNE/b4m3rPwFzOM/s320/iStock_000005862162XSmall.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Barriers to business success will be broken as barriers to everyone feeling that this is THEIR company to build!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Greater innovation, creativity, flexibility in changing times -- come with completely engaged partner coworkers -- happier, everyone creatively productive and inspired at 110%. The chances that this could transform the positive bottom line -- and the positive bottom line of happiness for every partner coworker, manager, owner, stakeholder might be astonishing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Having a few highly compensated folks at the top of a company of low-paid disengaged workers as a model does not necessarily mean great happiness for the top few -- or the clients -- or the stakeholders -- or the city/state/country -- for productivity and great client services.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's a crazy idea - but someone is bound to try it. It's the one thing that isn't being tried -- and where new maverick 1000-Year-Companies will come from.</span><br />

<b style="font-size: x-large;">4 Ways you know for sure that you may have lost-creative-genius:</b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>You are not putting your own genius-creative-thinking-time on the calendar!</b> (</span><span style="font-size: large;">No one does, unless they've been through Right Brain Aerobics and discovered what happens.) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Creative genius ideas occasionally pop up</b> when you're in the shower or walking or even driving somewhere; waiting in line. Why? This is the only time you open up for "right brain" or "creative thinking" downloads-- "Free Time" when you give yourself permission to let your mind wander.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>You often feel "stuck" </b>-- or aren't happy when the next step is to generate a new creative idea--but your new ideas still sound mostly like your old ideas. Derivative. You don't go "aha!"</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>You don't meditate or engage in contemplative time. </b>Or you do but aren't enjoying it. </span></li>
</ol>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;">(Meditative "right brain" time in this case means "alpha mind state" -- your eyes are closed but you're focused and awake -- with no particular agenda. Or you are painting or crafting or playing a musical instrument, etc. If you start allocating "brain time" to this, you're going to get some real surprises. Your lost creative genius identity is backed up with downloads.)</span></blockquote>

<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<b>Instructions to Start Discovering Lost Creative Genius Right Now. Don't wait. You'll be happy you did this.</b> </div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<b>1. Goal for your Left Brain: </b>This is for work -- so it's productive business time; but it will also impact positive energy, creativity, health, empathy, compassion, insight, and relationships.</div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<b>2. How do I know this is going to result in your "finding out who you are" in deeper mind/brain states?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>There is nothing you can do to prevent this</b> once you enter deeper "alpha" mind/brain states with an open creative mind. Once you put higher creative intelligence "on the calendar." What a discovery; am still furious that no one taught me how to do this in elementary school. Criminal.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Discovered accidentally! </b>What happens when one does deep right brain sound meditations daily. My brain exploded with new "aha's!" books that seemed already written, and importantly: <b>Insight into who I really am.<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Important: I was in my 60's when I discovered how to do this, so I know that anyone can learn to do it at any age.</b> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>This is a skill you are born with;</b> deep inner creative genius is a calendar issue -- not a genetics issue. You have this ability. You don't need any pills, technology, plants, or counseling. You have an "inner counselor." So let's get started.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>The Test: I saw this work with others? </b>I started teaching Right Brain Aerobics (the curriculum to teach this "popped in" full blown, into my mind during a deep sound meditation) -- have been doing this for a decade all over the U.S. So I can tell you after seeing hundreds go through this experientially, everyone can do this. Everyone can begin to discover a kind of "hidden intelligence,"<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>You find out who you are with a quick swash of the calendar:</b> Allocate time to your genius and you will discover a "plane" of your own genius previously hidden. </blockquote>

A short Right Brain Aerobics creativity & innovation exercise--from the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7wqAXCMSSbkLWRYVkNLYmRaWmc/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">7 RBA Components-at-a-Glance for activating higher creative/innovative intelligence</a>. Allocate a few minutes here for your "higher self." Do you have a "higher self" and lost-genius-identity? Yowza. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I ALREADY had a <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pub/sandra-h-rodman/7/359/924" target="_blank">successful executive career</a> in innovation and technology strategy in major corporations before I learned how to do this; these steps can start to shift an already-high-creative mind into hidden Overdrive. I had also in my 30's meditated with instruction -- but the effect wasn't really like this. This deep Right Brain (by this we mean creative-intuitive-non-local advanced consciousness mind) meditation caused "aha's!" on a regular basis. This was different.</blockquote>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
It is the insight, the "lost genius identity" discovery -- wow! Really: Wow! In my 70's, I'm having the most exciting adventure of my life! And it was a pretty exciting previous 60 years -- so this must be <i>really</i> exciting... Here's more about <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7wqAXCMSSbkNVFjUFhiN29BYU0/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">"5 Ways Right Brain Aerobics Training Can Improve Innovation, Creativity, Entrepreneurial & Startup Leadership"</a></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-size: x-large;">
<b>Bonus:</b> If you practice some of these exercises, you'll be eligible to try some of the "advanced" exercises and even crazy ideas like Remote Viewing Problem Solving (or past lives) or extraterrestrial communication. Think this is impossible? Think again. Just want to have a way to "pop up" aha! ideas all the time or have less stress and be in a better mood? That's easy.</blockquote>

<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<b>1. Get ready for lift off. Location:</b> Find a quiet place to sit or lie down, eyes closed -- where you won't be interrupted.</div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<b>2. What You Need: </b>Paper. Pen. Bottle or glass of water. For the "output" of your exercise, you need paper and pen. If you try to type as opposed to having paper that you can wildly and easily scribble on with pen -- it engages your creative mind differently. No electronics except to listen to the audio exercise.</div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<b>3. Listen to this Guided Right Brain Start Up guided audio deep sound meditation and follow the instructions.</b></div>

Innovation isn't in <i>your </i>mind only -- is it tapping the genius of a "collective unconscious"?... It's only "the new new thing" if it's the "new new thing" to most other people...<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Innovation may really be tapping into a "cooperative collective consciousness," an intelligence gestalt which is created <i>together</i>...</span><span style="font-size: large;">..</span><br />
<br />
<br />
But how we tap that -- is both possible and mysterious...!<br />
<br />
The best champions, the heralds of that boundless "inner-networked creativity" coming into socially creative breakthrough forms -- are usually evolving New Minds, too, minds that "see different." And connect us to an advanced stage of this "inner cosmic networking" that later appears as Innovation. <span style="font-size: large;"><b>But</b> -- </span><br />

Can we learn to do this?* Are there new mind states to expore?<br />
<br />
It may be beyond our study of a technology, data, science, or field with "regular mind" that produces iconic breakthroughs -- it may be quintessentially the higher development of New Mind (and we can do this every day*) -- which can tap "collective inner genius" ahead of the curve of its appearance in human social life and consciousness networks. Leading others into new territory with a New Voice.<br />
<br />
That New Mind is suddenly awakened, it soars anew, it "blooms"! It tends to generate a "burst" of courageous collective energy and just "knows" that everyone else will be just as excited as they are about the "new new thing"!! They can't shut up about it!<br />
<br />
The New Mind cannot be quiet until it decodes from inner fires and unleashes the "new new thing" into a human social world waiting for it. Whether it takes 1 year or 10 years -- whether it takes 1 light bulb or 10,000 light bulb tries before one works...<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<br />
Is it, thus, about the light bulb or about developing a New Mind? And a Voice to champion the rights and the story of the emerging creative outburst?<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;">Innovation is a network of collective inner genius creation which has found its champion. Its sponsor. Its speaker. Its Voice. </span></blockquote>
<br />
Is not Innovation really its Voice? Imagine Apple's story without the fiery creative Voice of Steve Jobs. Wait. We tried that. We learned there is power in <i>the Voice itself</i>, somehow connected to a exploding collective inner genius and "thinking different" -- seeing ahead of us, what we will become, speaking out for that...<br />

And in the crusade to launch this new discovery from a highly fertile undiscovered networking of "entangled" creative humans, the maturing and nurturing "quantum inner genius fields" of new ideas -- the hero's journey develops simultaneously the New Mind... But was that not the point of the Innovation in the first place?!<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the end, the New Mind is the result of the Innovation as much as the Innovation is the result of the New Mind...</span></blockquote>

The most exciting thing in our coming worlds may be learning anew about how New Minds somehow explode <i>from</i> as well as <i>with</i> quantum leaps across unseen collective unconscious genius, beyond mere brains, taking us into unexpected and mysterious new realities!<br />
<br />
Will it be about encouraging whole orchards of such New Minds!? Learning how such New Minds "stir the pot" of an ever-evolving higher creative consciousness breakthrough potential and "tap from the collective inner genius" at just the right instant?<br />
<br />
This might be a New Mind that also announces:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;">On any day -- <i>WE </i>might be that ones who stumble into a higher gestalt creative inner genius field and discover a "new new thing" that changes everything, and most of all, us.</span></blockquote>
This is the Innovation that is our real work...finding out that all of us can <i>truly</i> fly above on any given day, despite any odds...<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To use your mind/brain in a new way, to get into new mental "territory" and mind/brain states -- you're going to have to get into new creative "mind modes" in new ways -- new creativity "territory." To learn its navigation -- you have to go there more often! On purpose!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These mind landscapes include a lot more creative-intuitive-quantum-leap prompts, cues, ideas, symbols and Aha!'s!!

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Lesson:</b> A situation is just a "symbol" or "gift" for the (metaphoric) right brain, the creative non-linear mind -- to chew on and come up with an crazy-quantum-leap breakthroughs.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the other hand: See any situation or individual as a negative irritation, feeling overwhelmed and thinking things are unsolvable, and you shut off that creative-intuitive mind, which thrives on positive potential for imagination and new paths!

Bring in NEW visual stimulation pictures, objects or plants etc. or print-and-post your "quote of the week" -- change it out with a new "PROMPT" at least once a week or once a month. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">>>><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8;"><b>Tip:</b> </span>Go outside, too. Make "nature/outside" part of your workspace and mental inspiration! Natural environments have complex elements, changing, unpredictable -- trees, grass, flowers change, shift, flow. You have to watch where you're going --energizing the more flexible mind needed for innovation thinking.</span></blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">4. Walk Your Creative Mind Around OFTEN. </span></b> Every 90 minutes minimum: STOP & MOVE. Walk outside or inside for at least 10 min. 1. You'll lose weight. 2. Your mind will come up with new creative ideas or remember things you've forgotten. 3. You'll "refresh & reboot" your creative mind to new viewpoints automatically! 4. Your health/bp etc. will improve especially if you walk briskly. 5. You're killing yourself sitting for hours (even if you workout later) -- it's the EXTENDED SITTING ON A PROJECT OR ENTERTAINMENT--that increases all kinds of serious health problems: "Sitting is the new Smoking."</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is with the mind that we choose, and our daily choices create the life and career that we subliminally desire as well as the planet's physical and mental environments. Can we change this with deeper creative deliberations for really tough decisions? Ones where you need to "play Solomon," so daunting are the choices? Three things to consider that might increase our creative awareness of the impact on others of every personal decision, how life and career might shift as we become more expansive, look for new viewpoints in the decision-making process:</span><br />

<div>
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Golden Rule. Take a problem, any problem. Solve it by applying the Golden Rule. "Do unto others that which you would have them do unto you." (I also start with <a href="http://rightbrainaerobics.com/RBX_Sample_Exercises_5-19-12.pdf" target="_blank">Right Brain Start Up</a> exercise, which puts me more in a "Golden Rule" frame of mind.)</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>a. First: Affirm. </b>List/write down (pen and paper NOT electronics) as many affirmative things as you can think of about a) you, b) the person(s) who'll be affected. The challenger or the situation. Find "the gift" of potential lessons as you face the situation. Next:</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">b. Second, Use Empathetic Imagination. </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Imagine if you were the person or group on the "receiving end" of your decision. How would you like to be treated? Would you like it? Would you think it was fair? What would you feel toward you? What would YOU think would be the best decision? Imagining/seeing both sides, affirming both can greatly expand # of options, viewpoints, ideas for more choices, compromises, synergy, confidence, common ground, even wisdom. Leadership skills.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>c. Third: Do What You Know Is the Right Thing and You Can "Take It With You." </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Imagine a solution you could create with empathy, with identification with the recipient or person(s) affected. What if this was family? What would make them feel they were honored and treated fairly, with wisdom? (Think "Yoda.") What solution would others think is a fair, "break-through, quantum leap" solution? A decision that seems to reflect good, empathetic, ethical, even inspiring deliberation? If you've done your best to arrive at a decision in this way, it's a life choice you can take with you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Go another step: Think if this a good choice for sustainable planet? Your own and others' health? Long-term larger positive relationship networks?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>d. Fourth: Check Your Gut Instincts. How do you know it's a good decision? </b>You'll know a "good thing" by noticing emotional and physical responses when you've hit it. Your stress will go down; your mood will perk up; you might feel enthused about moving on the choice whereas before you were dreading it; you might feel surprisingly "wiser"--like Yoda; you might even go "aha!" The more it involves affirmation of others and "catching people doing something right," it is likely the better and happier you'll feel. Self-doubt about choosing will be lessened, and confidence that you've used your best ability to choose will be increased.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When feeling down: <a href="http://rightbrainaerobics.com/RBX_Sample_Exercises_5-19-12.pdf" target="_blank">Do a Right Brain Start Up </a>exercise and focus on a creating a 3-Day Plan to complete 3 acts of unexpected Personal Service or Kindness--giving to others that increases a close personal act--not distance or digital giving. 2 a day is even better! And cheaper and healthier than antidepressants. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Rule: Focusing on others and giving with a plan--automatically removes a key component of depression and procrastination on tough decisions: Ruthless self-focus.</b> No getting down & dirty with "feeling down" and no eating ice cream or watching movies alone<u><b> until </b></u>you complete all 3 acts of giving to others over 3 days. After you complete all 3, then you can go back to eating ice cream alone and feeling down. If you want to. Next Step: </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Repeat first step for another 3 days. Personal service to others cannot help but expand viewpoints in the "decision-making" landscape.</span></div>

<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">3. Prepare a Learning Evaluation List to choose between 2 or 3+ tough choices.</span></b><br />
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a. Do a<a href="http://rightbrainaerobics.com/RBX_Sample_Exercises_5-19-12.pdf" target="_blank"> Right Brain Start Up</a> exercise and imagine that you are your own Mentor or Teacher. Again -- "Yoda."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">b. <b>List the several most likely choices</b> among which you must "decide."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">c. <b>Under each, honestly describe the best learning and growth for you </b>that is likely to come from each choice. (Include "learn patience by doing nothing" or "wait a week.") For energetic overworkers with a need to control every situation, the hardest stay-up-all-night grueling effort is not always the best learning. You already know how to do that and that it doesn't always turn out best for you, your health, or others. Patience, relaxing and being cool, learning self-control over health/mind-stressing overwork can also be great "lessons learned" when deciding a choice.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">d. <b>Choose one on THAT basis--as if you were Mentoring or Teaching someone who had these choices--"Yoda."</b> Write down your choice and explain it to yourself in writing. Concentrated self-dialogue with pen and paper is a remarkable skill to "tap inner creative genius." Explain how it may also be the best for all others involved -- balance your choice between what you learn and what benefits you, and what might benefit others at the same time. (Once again: Apply The Golden Rule." </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Expands thinking/analysis, self-awareness, awareness of others, better judgment and evaluation skills. Journal insights. Review your "lessons learned" in your journal periodically.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Congratulate Yourself!</span></b></div>
<div>
<b style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you do even one of these when confronting a tough choice or decision, you will have initiated a) new thinking, b) brain exercises by trying out new scenarios, b) lowering stress about the situation with a plan and guidelines, c) habituating using new tools and putting some time to "think" through tough decisions on the Calendar.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use these 3 rules as a kind of expansive "mental context" for problem-solving and you can subtly increase personal achievement, confidence, better relationships, greater sense of well-being--even your attitude about learning from having to make tough decisions, decisions that require courage.</span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Stop. Pick up pen and piece of paper. Take a deep breath. Get a sip of water. Then do nothing for 5 minutes but listen. In silence. No background anything. No looking at a screen. Time it. Then sketch, draw, doodle whatever "out of the blue" powerful right brain symbol "cues" and ideas "pop up" ready for download. Information is always processing creatively but is useless uninterpreted data. Until you spend even 5 minutes in silence. Get ready. One reason amazing ideas pop up in showers, when waiting for planes (if you're not online): Time is available for more alpha "ah hah" mind state to get your attention. How do you convert it into information? You'll see: Pick the most "out of the blue" crazy symbol or idea that popped up in those 5 minutes and pretend you have an assignment to turn it into a new strategy or insight. Here's why that's important -- and an example of how you might do it:</span></div>

Often my computer browser "freezes" forcing me to "stop" right now. I am amazed at how serendipitous that is. I use this time to see if this is a "hint" from the universe to assess if this is the right use of my focus at the moment. Sometimes this actually causes me not to "send" an email or communication prematurely, that needed to wait for a new development. Whew! There was one. </span></div>

<br />
Fundamentally, Right Brain Aerobics is "mental techniques," and those very techniques cause more "new techniques" to pop up too. In college, I can't remember a "Mental Techniques 101" course yet that's what we needed! At 70, it's needed more! Now I'm trying to do "deep dive" learning into new social media and blogweb techniques -- but if there are 10 new programs/apps a week to enjoy your Twitter experience more, there are at 100! So I decided to just USE these Right Brain techniques to learn them and discovered that other wisdom started sprouting from the right brain. New things like TweetDeck, Lost at EMinor and 12Ahead were entering my mindscape beyond learning--and I was having fun! For your "adventures in learning" try:<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">1. Turn New Words/Vocabulary Into Doodles! </span></b><br />
<br />
<b>Turn the Terms into Art or Sketches -- or Try "SketchNote Handbook"</b><br />
<br />
Here's where that "doodling" habit you have can pay off. At the least:<br />
<br />
Write the new terms, words, phrases and doodle all sort of cool things around them, turning it all into something new. You imprint the shape, textures of the words this way in the mind differently.<br />
<br />
Savants have long since been known to be able to perform amazing mental feats reporting that they "see" the answer in textures, patterns, colors, shapes, and more. Doodling and Making Art of What You Learn = A Doorway to Savantness... It also "fires up" more creativity in the mind about what you're learning: You're not just memorizing, <i>your experiencing the essence of the new thing and it can thus more readily stand out in your knowledge banks...</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<b>So: Don't just "take notes" learning something new, Draw & Doodle them!</b> <br />
<br />
<b>You might also like <a href="http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2013/01/sketchnote-handbook/" target="_blank">"The SketchNote Handbook." </a> - a new startup. </b>This will get you to "journal" more with your pen and that seriously activates the right brain to help the left remember together... Quote from Steve Jobs' Sister, Mona Simpson, in her beautiful eulogy to Steve:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>"For the really big things, you have to trust me, he wrote on this sketchpad."</b></blockquote>

Natural settings of living systems are infinitely more complex and interconnected, spark more areas of the brain / mind / consciousness / senses, than interior settings. <br />
<br />
You will remember the smells and temperature and richer sights associated with the learning subject/ experience; you will remember the sounds you heard, the temperature and emotions you felt, the taste of the air... It is richer for the brain -- and a richer landscape for the new material you try to learn.<br />
<br />
<b>Anchor "words" with all 5 Senses and watch new "knowledge" arrive: </b>Take those new terms, that formula, and assign a taste, smell, color, temperature to each. If you put a list of 5 things with 5#'s and write them in 5 different colors you are apt to "see" more about them and "experience" them integrally not just see them as separate objects having nothing to do with you personally. THrough 5-sense anchors this becomes more "personal learning." And it is likely to prompt your "Inner Genius" to unexpectedly pop up an even wider range of qualities or symbols--even new meaning and analysis that you would never have explored otherwise.<br />
<br />
<b>This is not memorizing but Natural Sensory Learning</b>, "feeling" and "chewing" on the material reinventing it -- beyond a string of words in a list.<br />

One of my favorite Right Brain Aerobics exercises. <br />
<br />
Take one of the key concepts or vocabulary or formulas you're trying to learn and understand and: "Put a Hat on it."<br />
<br />
<b>This means you have to "think" about it both consciously and subconsciously</b> and consider what "kind" of hat to put on it; what color is the hat, what does it make you think of, is it a hat you'd like to wear? <br />
<br />
<b>If you put a hat on it, you may want to give it a Name & Make a Logo. </b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Imagine learning Trig by putting a Hat on the Key Formulas and giving them each their own Names... Really: Wouldn't you have a lot "friendlier feeling" about Trig? And while you're at it, put a hat on Trig too -- Call it Sam or Iphegenia! You'll never forget it.</blockquote>
<br />
This applies to reading dense training Manuals, learning new Code, or studying Chinese, French, or Business English!<br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This week I had a
wonderful Right Brainy kind of day. Teaching Right Brain Aerobics for Left
Brained Folks was a fabulous gathering of individuals who each came for their
own specific reasons for wanting to learn how to think more creatively. Before
teaching the characteristics of a right brained orientation, each student
responded to the inquiry of what qualities they experience when doing the
activities that bring them the greatest joy.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: black; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: black; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Their responses
defined a right-brain-activated state of mind. One spoke of feeling like she
was "in the flow" when doing her quilting; a kindergarten
teacher shared her passion for teaching children "outside the box"
and beyond the prescribed curriculum; a social worker beamed as she described
the serenity that she benefitted from when getting her hands in the
soil while gardening, and another lost herself while listening to her
favorite music.</span><br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We all intuitively
know our right brain states; they are so commonly tied to those activities that
give us the greatest sense of joy and heartfelt connection. It is not that we
cannot derive great pride and satisfaction with left brain driven activities,
they are just less frequently tied to the joys that make the heart sing.</span><span style="color: white; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Teaching Right Brain
Aerobics for me is all about empowerment and inspiration. It is my intention
that each person that leaves a workshop can go home that night and have an
imprinted brain and body memory of how to do their Right Brain Start Up
exercise. They should be able to easily resource moments from the class
that distinctly recall a sense of peace and at-easeness that returns to them as
soon as they begin their 3 movements, 3 sips of water, and 3 breaths. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: black; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The brain learns
through the laws of repetition and association, so each time I teach, we
repeat the exercises and entrain our minds and hearts to recall what was
learned that day, so that the information is more deeply embedded than
extrinsic short-term memory information that dissipates soon after it is heard.</span><span style="color: white; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

to see as possible, that which was only an hour before, considered
to be an "impossible thing", I am convinced that the world needs
this work more than it even knows.</span><span style="color: white; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>10 Things You CAN Take With You: </b><br />
<br />
The best Innovations, I would think, would be those you can "take with you." In a good way. You know what these are because you get a "6th sense" that these acts would pass muster with anybody you ever knew who cared about you and wanted to see you succeed as the best person you can be. You feel a "good" you can take with you. And others feel it, too. This is my first 10-Things-You-CAN-Take-With-You Checklist. I suspect this Checklist may change my Right Brain Aerobics work more than I bargained for. Give it a try... :) <br />
<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RAMqbO_agIg/UN9FOpiaYMI/AAAAAAAAALg/zVpMVC0Q-Bw/s1600/iStock_6075107Small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RAMqbO_agIg/UN9FOpiaYMI/AAAAAAAAALg/zVpMVC0Q-Bw/s320/iStock_6075107Small.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<b>Planting Seeds of Innovative Expansiveness: A New Year's Resolution</b><br />
<br />
We can innovate to make a dollar--or innovate to plant seeds of expansive innovation. The kind of seeds that count before, during, and after life. First, see <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1371111/" target="_blank">"Cloud Atlas"</a> the movie--paints a compelling picture, regardless of your beliefs, of the ripple effects of every SINGLE kind and unkind deed across the world and across time. We're banking things. We just have to be more aware of what we're banking. This may be a new opportunity. And a new kind of New Year's Resolution...<br />
<br />
<b>Making Doing-the-Right-Thing Investments: </b><br />
<br />
These might be new kinds of investments, too, that also count as Pay-It-Forward. They likely pay triple interest (your past, your present, your future legacy). They are always passed on. There are no inheritance taxes. They don't wind up in landfills. They are easy to carry. You carry the memory of every time you Did-the-Right-Thing with you into every room and every moment you enter. (The opposite is true, but don't worry about that. You're a fantastic human being and a creative genius -- just focus on the Things You Did Right Today that you can take with you. It's amazing what that can do for innovative thinking.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JssnBSwrsQc/UN9UrpK3TlI/AAAAAAAAAL0/HkE6gFjQJwM/s1600/iStock_9975996Small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JssnBSwrsQc/UN9UrpK3TlI/AAAAAAAAAL0/HkE6gFjQJwM/s200/iStock_9975996Small.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Things You CAN Take With You Checklists</b><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b> </b></span> <br />
This is, I suspect, just common sense good business. But it helps me to remember that our "business" effectiveness vibrations may have started long before this current role/life--and may carry forward far into the next role/life (depending on your beliefs.) And may have little to do with business!<br />
<br />
Why shouldn't the <b>Things-You-CAN-Take-It-With-You-Checklist </b>be the first one we review daily? How can we do more that COUNTS? Do we make mistakes while innovating (like DDT, air pollution, CO2, landfill planet) because we don't begin the day thinking about Things-You-CAN-Take-With-You? Impossible Things we could do to make the world better? Why are THOSE our after thoughts? And making more dollars today our first thoughts? We all do this. Could we change it by simply focusing first every day on what we'd like to take with us?<br />
<br />
Oops -- sometimes I forget that we unfortunately take the thoughtless, selfish, polluting, insulting, careless, judgmental responses to anxiety and fear with us, too. We can do better though. The Things-You-Can-Take-With-You Checklist reminds you that you can start consciously banking really USEFUL HELPFUL things-to-do like a futures list. Like an eternal, sustainable 401k benefit that others can get benefit from, too. Apparently the smallest good deeds and their impact can survive forever--so maybe that's what we should focus on. How, really, can we justify focusing on anything else? Forever is a very long time...<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>A New "Bank" Account</b><br />
<br />
I was thinking about marketers who tell us to do lots of "give aways" and I wondered: Well, what are some "give aways" that could REALLY count? And what is REAL value? Are our greatest memories of getting big checks and cash and <a href="http://www.storyofstuff.org/" target="_blank">stuff</a>? Really? If not, why do we want to focus our "vibrational intentions" on that? Maybe we got side tracked. Or hijacked... :)<br />
<br />
If it's great friendships and meaning in life, getting great "lessons learned" in unique shared experiences, getting to play different roles for different people, getting great wisdom and getting loved, giving our absolute very best, loving our absolute very best--maybe we need to focus on that? #'s of people helped, #'s of great lessons learned, #'s of people loved instead of #'s of dollars, #'s of houses, boats, or cars? What exactly CAN we take with us? Maybe all of it has value--sailing on a boat on the sea can be a spiritual experience of revelation and learning. But we really do know the difference between enjoying an expensive boat--and making a profound difference in the world, in someone's life. We really <i>do </i>know the difference between what's giving a little and what's giving a lot--for <i>us</i>. We really do know what a real moment of value is--often a contribution that no one else knows about. Or honoring an individual who expects no honor and doesn't live to be honored; but is the greatest person we know...<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Manifesting in the 5th Dimension: Your Ideal Business Coach</b><br />
<br />
Maybe "Manifesting" in the 5th Dimension doesn't have anything to do with traditional wealth as we define it (if anything resembling currency still exists in 100 years). What are the real measures of Value? Of valuable wisdom? Maybe we need to rethink what is "successful" -- using new yardsticks. Certainly "success" has been differently defined in every traditional culture for eons. <br />
<br />
If you had one choice to meet with your ideal business coach from any era, would it be a popular Billionaire CEO? Or Mohandas K. Gandhi? Martin Luther King? Abraham Lincoln? Mother Theresa? The Dalai Lama? Harriet Tubman? Confucius? Kwan Yin? Who do we want to emulate? The fact that we hesitate for a minute on that tells us where we are. If we don't think our spiritual and ethical heroes would be good business coaches, maybe we ought to rethink the business we're in???<br />
<br />
Maybe there are new kinds of business success waiting to transform us with less anxiety, much love, and greater joy. Maybe they'll have some struggle if we're really going to transform our world--but maybe we'll learn a lot from it. But maybe we could be in a business that we would be REALLY REALLY PROUD TO TAKE WITH US! What is "business" in different dimensions? In future times and compassionate worlds? Maybe we should realign our "start ups" with our ethical and spiritual goals, with our compassions as well as our passions--and see where that leads us?... Is there any technology at all in the 5th Dimension? In an Afterlife, if we believe in one? So why are we so focused on it? What does it mean to be a good "human being" in a technology immersed world?<br />
<br />
We have an opportunity to create a different kind of world based on revelations that come from that moment of hesitation. Who would we rather have lunch with? What if Doing the Right Thing and the Golden Rule became the new measures of success in a new time? Could we measure up? If that is our human future, what is to be our personal role in its creation?<i><br /></i><br />

<br />
These simple choices, taking small action daily may be exactly how we create a planet we like or don't like; a personhood we're proud of or not proud of; a legacy we CAN take with us.<br />

<div align="left" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma;">
<span style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Earlier this week I was
hosting an evening of my Transformational Dialogues, an event discussing how to
raise our adolescent girls as powerful women. As normally occurs, a crowd
of 25 people or so hurriedly rush into the gathering space sometime between
5:55 and 6:05 for a six o'clock event starting time. My intention was for it to
be an evening in which there could be a sense of safety and sacredness, where
vulnerability and authenticity could emerge. Normally I begin the events with
house announcements, like where are the restrooms, when is the next upcoming
event, etc. Then we head directly into introductions and the event begins. This
time I decided to do something different. After the instructions for the
evening were given, I asked their permission to do a little exercise with me to
help quiet the chaotic arrival energy. I then led the group in a Right Brain
Start-Up* exercise from Right Brain Aerobics... … </span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: transparent;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Tahoma; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Tahoma; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
must admit that I modified and tailored it a bit to the group and the topic.
Using the cascade of three steps allowed the energy to become quieter,
calmer and more grounded then I led everyone through their gratitudes -- but
specifically gratitude for three young girls that were in their lives, to
immerse them in the focus of the evening. For the self-affirmation
section, I asked them to see themselves as teenagers, and affirm in retrospect,
three aspects of themselves that with their current enhanced viewpoint, that
they could love and appreciate.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The result was a group that had a greater connection to the focus of what we were discussing. Most surprising, however, was the deep, heartfelt vulnerability and connection that the speaker had immediately upon telling her first story of being a young girl, of having lost "her inner voice" that it took many years to regain. It was a touching and beautiful way to begin what turned out to be a wonderful evening and sharing. I could not have asked for more....</span></span></div>

For new solutions we need: <b>New landscapes of solvers.</b> What we're finding in Right Brain Aerobics pilots is that when you initiate a "pull" for creative/innovative genius it's there. It's there at much greater levels of insight than you expect, and it's there at every level of every organization or network of colleagues.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>That's a new landscape for problem solving in every organization </b>-- but "Step 1" is: We must engage the "right brain" as well as the left, in every role. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>For Whole Brain Organizations: </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Make a Serious "Call for Genius" across the Board</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When you're motivated by a serious "Ask" for genius from everybody for solution ideas for your organization's top problems -- you get new viewpoints that can knock your socks off. You'll see new doors open in the mind -- yours...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Starts accelerating right brain activation (necessary for whole brain thinking). </li>
<li>Starts group dynamic change. You've shared the key problems and you've asked everybody for input = everybody feels responsible. </li>
<li>Lessens time wasted during the day with emails or mental tapes of "if only they knew my idea" or "only a couple of people ever get asked for real ideas."</li>
</ul>
<b>Try this:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>For one month, designate that every staff meeting at every company level ends with 10 min. to request/record for at least one new idea on the company's key top problem.</li>
<ul>
<li>Scribe and forward ideas to CEO.</li>
<li>Meetings attendance would go up.</li>
<li>Communication of real creative viewpoints to the top would alter perceived "roles" of each staff member.</li>
</ul>
<li>Do this in a university -- pulling for ideas for solutions to top university/learning issues -- for 5 min. at end of every class for a week -- watch shift in learning and student energy/focus.</li>
</ul>
<b>To Have Whole Brain Organizations </b></div>
<div>
<b>We Have to "Ask" Everybody to the Table</b><br />
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Act of the "Ask" -- as if the opinion of every individual member/staff were valuable -- is, in itself, starting up some new "engines of creativity." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This changes perception of individual role/identity -- I'm at the table too!" It affirms at every level. You will have to follow through and get some "randomly" selected picks of review of top ideas for the week actually read by top execs! Not just "votes' -- those tend to push the safer "usual suspects" of ideas to the foreground -- "same old same old" themes or folks thinking. Do some completely "random" picks that get reviewed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Food for Thought...</b> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You won't have to remind executives to actually take some of these ideas seriously and do something with them. Most senior managers in any organization are <i><b>starved</b></i> for new viewpoints even if they aren't aware of it. When we pull from everybody, we see some and we won't forget it. It's is basis, in a way, of the reality TV show: <i>Undercover Boss. </i> Every CEO changes the company after going "undercover" as an employee. Not a single one doesn't greatly value and appreciate the new viewpoint! Not a single one doesn't think their organization will be better because of it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This kind of 10-min. meeting exercise treats everybody as the "CEO for a 10 Minutes" -- in a sense, an <i>undercover boss</i> for a few minutes, in reverse...</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>A Whole Brain Organization = A whole new landscape </b></div>
<div>
<b>of thinkers that you didn't know you had. </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This topic could be a book in itself. We're hearing amazing stories. And we don't want to be "half brained" organizations...</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Using 10% of brainpower as an individual = using 10% of brainpower as an organization.</b> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Some brain scientists think that we're using even less than 10% of our minds/brains -- and some think the whole concept is skewed. But isn't the proof is in the personal pudding? We know this is true! We know that we're leaving our greater intelligence and right brain -- at home. And no one ever <i><b>asks us</b></i> for whole brain thinking all day long or to put anything into larger contexts. <i>(For more from a senior brain scientist, Dr. Iain McGilchrist, about how there actually are two different "brains" -- impactful in the same way that Dan Pink's putting "right brain" and "left brain" into modern business/thinking metaphors. See TED Talk on <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/iain_mcgilchrist_the_divided_brain.html" target="_blank">"The Divided Brain" </a>by Dr. Iain McGilchrist -- almost a million views...)</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
A "Whole Brain" organization might start to see 20% of minds/brains present and active...and if there are forums and techniques to interact at that level then 30% of minds/brains present. Having that increase in real thinking/organization-wide, holistic problem solving would change any organization -- and raise the bar for performance at every level. Every week there are more news stories about 7-year-olds teaching physics (sic) and today: "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/19/victoria-walker-rode-dog_n_1897464.html" target="_blank">An 11 year-old girl bested professional computer developers</a> at a competitive hackathon, winning $20,000 to further develop a mobile app and market it... ...the competition sponsored by AT&T."</blockquote>
<div>
<b>Suddenly your "problem solvers" teams expanded! </b> But you didn't hire any new people. You inspired and engaged those who are your staff, your volunteers, your clients, your students -- to come to the table "with their thinking caps on." And once you start this process: It doesn't turn off...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Organizational "energy" expands</b> -- because staff "dialogue" starts going more to whole organization impact and context, needs. People think larger and broader if we ask them for "big picture" solutions. They become more mentally "engaged" in the organizational mission; they can "see" consequences of small errant decisions more readily. IF -- they have to focus at least a couple of times a month or more on the REAL issues for the organization, clients, students, fans. They can become energized organizational enthusiasts this way, and impact their own networks which is another kind of organizational asset which -- except for companies like Apple -- are often largely untapped.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The work of continually developing right brain training techniques reveals new potential for these approaches every day as we try to techniques -- far beyond what we originally envision. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Whole Brain Organizations don't evolve with one off training events</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The whole brain must be engaged in daily practices (including expanding human sensory/conscious awareness, not just creative but intuitive-meditative-alpha mind, with new mainstream ways to enter the alpha "aha" mind state readily and increase focus). That's what we're seeing in events -- glimpses of the largely untapped, massive organizational and individual brainpower that could function at new levels. It's what's coming.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The big surprise is: We have the mind/brain and techniques already. </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We're just not training them; or don't think they're possible. The boundaries of the "possible" are being pushed back every day! The good news is, though we keep waiting for computer chips in the brain or pills to do this for us -- this is a natural "social," human consciousness/community/communications transformation skill, ready for development. We've had reduced skills in this area not increased ones -- so this is a major opportunity to change that trend, for the organization who decides to "think different." </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>See: "<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/07/technology/07brain.html?pagewanted=all" target="_blank">Your Brain on Computers: Attached to Technology and Paying a Price," NY Times </a>series. Those who invented computers didn't use computers; the fundamental laws of science where discovered without computers. We're just beginning to understand the power of "whole brain" thinking and organizations -- what new technologies might they create that are more synchronous and sustainable for all life systems, beyond creating more gadget models for landfills? (This is happening -- read "<a href="http://Treehugger.com/">Treehugger.com</a>" daily for a real right brain stretch!)</i></blockquote>
<div>
Easy steps to do this are a kind of holy grail I'm still chasing, and why I'm doing this at 70 instead of retiring!</div>
<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
When I was an executive in Fortune 500 or large non-profit organizations, there was always some "accidental" right brain thinking -- innovative thinkers gathered in private conversations, knowing most of our ideas would never see the light of day. We spent time strategizing how to get them heard -- but we lost good people who were tired of never being "asked" for any ideas beyond a given task; of they were the thinkers of "outlier" ideas that would later be seen in new industry trends. Big losses to the organizations.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Whole Brain Organizations hire the whole individual,</b> not for just a single job, level, or task, but to think big and imagine bigger! To inspire themselves and the whole company -- <b><i>from any level or position in that company. A whole brain thinker will be able to move any inspired idea or contribution to the highest levels quickly, and if they keep running into roadblocks, companies will lose them to other organizations. Where they know they are being hired for more than programming one app. </i></b>You have to draw new "organization charts" when you start freeing the larger intelligence of a global organization; it's going to get more circular and more subtly invasive across thinking units.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
If I'd had these right brain activated group processes when I was in corporations, teams would have been armed with vaster perspectives and mental resources that we didn't have available. Jeff Bezos was working in a bank before he thought of Amazon and left to create it. How many new companies come out of the minds and hearts -- and garages -- of lower level staff -- never asked for their bigger ideas every day?</blockquote>
<b>How many Jeff Bezos's are on your team?</b> Until we ask for more than a spread sheet, a report, a sales call log -- we won't know. How many of our clients or students could give us genius input that "changes everything" every day? Until we ask, we don't know.<br />
<br />
All businesses and technologies are going to shift as global economies, environments, societies resynchronize... Every day new science findings and societal reinventions turn every belief and mental context "on its head." This "rethinking" of everything with a different kind of mind -- <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Whole-New-Mind-Right-Brainers-Future/dp/1594481717/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1348179512&sr=8-2&keywords=dan+pink" target="_blank">Dan Pink's "Whole New Mind" </a>-- may not be a party to which organizations want to come late...<br />
<br />
<b>If we can imagine "Whole Brain Organizations" -- and "right brain thinking" -- some organizations are going to start now, performing and thinking at unimaginable mental levels! </b><br />
<br />
They won't be just more creative or innovative, they will literally be using the brain/mind in a different way, in intuitive or supersensory or supervisionary states of mind simply untrained for business. They will be improvisational in alpha brain states and more focused on global context -- they will respond quicker with more honest self-reflection and insight. They will be happier! When everyone is "at the table," we begin to activate what is an unlikely sleeping giant...<b>the other 90% of brain/mind/heart/passion/intelligence -- rarely brought to work.</b> <b>And almost never "asked for"...</b><br />

Do this this every time you buy a new book or paper or wooden things or houses! -- plant trees. $5 = plant 5 of these ancient (and potentially giant) Multipupose Trees go into the ground and change lives, lands, ecosystems -- benefit those in Africa whose ancient knowledge led to energizing this strategy and who are the ones who benefit from the new trees and land.

Just one of these children now out of school -- might be the child who creates a solution that saves planetary life systems. Perhaps one is another Einstein, or Marion Wright Edelman or Eric Andrulis.

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: x-small;">Qualities of “right brain”
leadership might be different, since "leadership" is often thought of as hierarchical, and “right brain” is thought
of as more collaborative, cooperative, and creative. As we already
have highly developed “left brain skills” in our societies, then developing right brain
leadership skills might mean more "balanced" leadership -- or Whole Brain Leadership. Here are 3 Qualities for “Right Brain Leadership" as Food for Thought.<i> (If you want to know more about how Right Brain
Aerobics looks at what is “left brain” and what is “right brain” look at <a href="http://www.rightbrainaerobics.com/RBA-Combined-Intro-New-V3.pdf" target="_blank">Introduction to Right Brain Thinking</a>. Dan Pink transformed the 80's term "Right Brain" into a modern business concept with his book<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Whole-New-Mind-Right-Brainers-Future/dp/1594481717" target="_blank"> "A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers Will Rule the Future." </a></i></span></div>

Leadership is not thought of as creative entertainment, yet most modern media

<br />
And if they don’t exist, co-create them. We co-create great leadership by responding
well to creative, genuine, expansive, ethical, enticing leaders. <br />
<br />
In the early days of the web, a great web site was said to be “sticky”; great right
brain leadership might be said to create environments that are like good web
sites – they get a lot of hits and click trough’s -- environments where people

<br />
This blog origincally introduced Right Brain Aerobics 1 in new format in Freeland, WA -- the amazing Whidbey Island on Sunday, Aug. 19th, 9:30 am - 1 pm (<a href="http://rightbrainaerobics.com/AAA-RBX-Whidbey-8-19-12-V1.pdf" target="_blank">the 8/19 brochure looked like this</a>).<br />
<br />
But more, it outlines the amazing community building of a local Whidbey institution called "DrewsList" by Drew Kampion. And spotlights <b>The South Whidbey Cornucopia University...</b>See the <a href="http://www.rightbrainblogs.blogspot.com/2012/08/right-brain-aerobics-aug-19th-drewslist.html" target="_blank">whole page</a> on RBA, Drews List and Whidbey Island.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Drewslist: Whidbey Human-touch Personal Email Community Innovation</b> <br />
<br />
What we want to blog about -- is how such things are marketed-in-community with a human-touch locally on South Whidbey: DrewsList... created every day personally by Drew Kampion. DrewsList is a community storytelling event and forum -- not a "list." It's just different... So see our sample ad below.<br />
<br />
<b>DrewsList: Where you send an email</b> <b>and get to know Drew</b><br />
<br />
DrewsList is local creative email marketing made fresh daily on South Whidbey. It's an event and most everybody reads it daily. You can only post by sending Drew Kampion a personal email, so this is a local adventure not automated from silicon valley. (South Whidbey is a kind of artists-authors-ecofarming-environmental-solar-spiritual-music-inventors community in a breathtaking Puget Sound island setting so what comes on that list -- wow...) So below is our sample ad-- then we'll talk about how this kind of simple creative initiative by one passionate artist -- Drew Kampion -- changed the way a community communicates and entertains... (Ad sample used previously, deleted)<b><br /></b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b></b><br />
<b>What's Unique about DrewsList and the "Storytelling" Approach?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You get to tell your story. In one sentence with pics or many sentences. But Drew likes PICTURES so you gotta do that. And he does it his way. A wonderful freeing model for mobilizing personal marketing in small communities around one daily "event" that's really "local storytelling." By not limiting your words or pics -- he lets you tell your story...and you know it's going to people who actually READ the stories.<br />
<br />
<b>"Asks" and "Offers"</b> <br />
<br />
Amazing "appeals" and "offerings" come out on this list that are worthy of a novel. This is just not Facebook and it's not Craigslist. You could use those but if you want people to come to something on Whidbey, you're going to have to email Drew... Not hard to do a small version of this perhaps a few days a week for your own small town, neighborhood, club, group. Somehow people get to know each other here differently because of the pictures, stories, and that one local citizen actually takes the personal time to <b><i>send them to you every day</i></b><i> (but Sunday).</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
(Also entirely community donation supported, so if you're a Whidbey folk, donate to DrewsList on <a href="http://paypal.com/">PayPal.com</a> by sending to: drewslist@whidbey.com )</div>
<br />
<b>It's a Personal List of Drew's -- a</b><b>nd Everybody Benefits</b><br />
<br />
Drew Kampion does it all -- each ad designed/edited/posted -- and lots of pictures. You send Drew an email with your best effort -- and he does the rest...and it may go out more than once to several thousand people. It's always a surprise.<br />
<br />
<b>It's "Community Email Storytelling" -- as local Marketing...</b><br />
<br />
Why do we all read this every day? DrewsList is really a community's "story" -- because one man is paying personal attention to those stories and gets them out there (even if they're long and you want to put up lots of pics or you don't know how to write an ad at all -- he does it for you) -- in a way that doesn't look like classifieds, but personal community communication... Stories about musicians (not just a poster) come through, the stories of upcoming funerals or wakes-- or school recitals featuring some famous young local musicians -- forged with internationally known artist residents performing and best selling authors reading from new books...and the pictures somehow blend into the faces of one community. Creative pictorial email that is somehow moving, unique, intriguing -- you just never know what will happen!! Perhaps daily newspapers were once this way...but somehow lost "touch." Drew Kampion brings back that "touch..."<br />
<br />
<b>The South Whidbey Cornucopia University...</b> <br />
<br />
And what a story every day!<br />
<br />
South Whidbey Island Washington is a veritable cornucoppia of arts, theater, classes, innovative ecology and environmentalist leaders, solar entrepreneurs, NY Times bestselling authors, Academy Award winners, continual unique spiritual training and intuitive arts teachers, leading thinkers and artists, art studios, unique galleries (down the street from the upscale <a href="http://www.museo.cc/" target="_blank">Museo Gallery</a> is <a href="http://nymbolssecretgarden.com/contact/" target="_blank">Nymbols</a> Secret Garden...<br />

<br />
...amazing farm stores/tours, art studio tours, arts festivals, music festivals, garden tours (like <a href="http://www.meerkerkgardens.org/" target="_blank">Meerkerk Gardens</a>) -- live theater performances it seems all the time (3+ live theater productions might be going on simultaneously in one small town) with troupes like <a href="http://www.outcastproductions.net/default.html" target="_blank">Outcast Productions</a> and the infamous Improv Troupe "<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Comedy-Island/278322488846491" target="_blank">Comedy Island</a>" (featuring two <a href="http://www.necessarymischief.com/" target="_blank">mischievous</a> best selling <a href="http://ymoyl.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">authors</a> and the creator the award-winning <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Whidbey-Childrens-Theater/87198943410" target="_blank">Whidbey Children's Theater</a>)...<br />

<br />
The list is just endless...like a daily year-long university for mind, body, and spirit -- experiencing with many internationally known teachers and artists and innovators gathered in one small place learning from each other. There's a book in this! Wait, somebody wrote one called <a href="http://www.whidbeymagic.com/" target="_blank">Whidbey Magic.</a> A Right Brain Community model for the future?<br />
<br />
Somehow DrewsList brings us together to <i>know</i> about that and where it's happening, with big pictures...<br />
<br />
<b>People Wait for DrewsList to Come Out Everyday! </b> <br />
<br />
People wait for these emails in the morning and they know there will be <b>Discoveries</b>! They see people they've gotten to know through this missive offering. Now, how many lists and classifieds does any community "wait for" every day?? And most of us read every category -- even if we're not looking for cars, "Wheels" is one of my favs! What stories! <br />
<br />
DrewsList is an <b>Event </b>as well as remarkable personal emarketing-gone-local. You can Facebook and Twitter, but on South Whidbey knowing about events and amazing things "together" revolves around one man's passion for email community. It's "personal" not business -- and you know it. You might consider doing something inventive like this for your community's stories-- it's just different than large scale social media platforms. Be inventive! People actually get to know each other and around heartfelt creative projects posted by a friend -- a grand way to be "sustainable" in unknown times. <br />
<br />
<b>How does one subscribe to DrewsList?</b> Like everything else "Drew" -- you just send him a personal email: drewslist@whidbey.com. And a donation. Right brain life, it turns out, is pretty personal...<br />
<br />
Thank you, Drew!<br />
<br />
And if we've enticed you...do join us for any Right Brain Aerobics Class on Whidbey Island.<br />

<b>Use Right Brain Sound to Inspire Higher Intelligence...</b><br />
<br />
The power of deeply creative sound can spark a wave of creative intuition riding its crest, moving aside cobwebs and mental road blocks on the most tense and stressful days...days in which everything is riding on the outcome and we want to reach for higher planes of thought. Moments of deep self reflection in such soothing or inspiring sound can become peak engagements with the brilliance of a higher self, a higher intelligence sometimes lost in "to do" lists. But always nearby -- waiting for a call... All Right Brain Aerobics classes use such sound and it is integral in the process of daily practice.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Stopping to engage the mind in meditative, healing sound is one of the best ways to uncover the most hidden creative gems of insight. Creative ideas that spring from a higher purpose. Find quiet time alone for a meeting with the personal creative mind. Listen with a pad and pen not far away. <br />

3. <a href="http://www.tristanback.com/">"Distance".</a>.. Artist Debut: Tristan Bach, composer, sound healer, and performance art-music-dance producer. We ahve used this albums in Right Brain Aerobics classes for energetic, activity when we do the creativity-art-storyboarding exercises. A unique synthesis of instrumental sounds--creative rhythms, sparking themes of life. Poetry in lyrics... Tristan is a graduate of <a href="http://www.tristanbach.com/">Right Brain Express classes.</a><br />

<b>Right Brain Exercises in Futurethink -- Futurethink and Our Careers</b><br />
<br />
<b>1. An interesting research article recently suggested that<a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/01/02/132591244/our-brains-are-shrinking-are-we-getting-dumber" target="_blank"> "Our Brains Shrinking. Are We Getting Dumber?" </a></b>Whatever the reason, <b><span style="color: red;">greater awareness and brain exercises, stretching our minds to consider the future, may be </span><span style="color: red;">imperative in future careers.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b>First, read this article from the NY Times series, "Your Brain on Computers" -- <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/07/technology/07brain.html?pagewanted=all" target="_blank">"Attached to Technology and Paying a Mental Price" </a></b> -- suggests that our all-day focus on our small screen mobile communication may be affecting relationships, thinking, distracted, unfocused minds.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GmYEboxnfxg/UEZEPx4oPYI/AAAAAAAAAJk/YmbYQN5frX4/s1600/Brain_Stairway_iStock_11425683XSmall_Xsm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GmYEboxnfxg/UEZEPx4oPYI/AAAAAAAAAJk/YmbYQN5frX4/s1600/Brain_Stairway_iStock_11425683XSmall_Xsm.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>For future careers/training, we need to take this future trend into account.</b> How can we exercise those creative brain centers and mental focus to reverse effects? Will there be new career fields and opportunities for reinventing technology and how we use it -- which are "coming soon"?<br />
<br />
Right brain thinkers will anticipate this. <a href="http://www.rightbrainaerobics.com/" target="_blank">Right Brain Aerobics, for example, </a>was designed for right brain exercise to assist in expanding creative-innovative-intuitive-focused mind for out-of-the-box thinking. Can we be smarter about how we use technology and perhaps create more "right brain" technology?<br />
<br />
Here are more readings/film links/exercises to put "futurethink" and right brain thinking in general into Career context:<br />

<br />
<b>2. Consider this: A report of the IEEE (Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers), Procedings of 7th Int'l. Conference on Information Visualization, 2003: "Creative Performance: Does the Computer Regard Artistic Development,"</b> T. Kipp. Among the groups studied, the research concluded that artistic traits such as visual memory, perception, and critical eye for detail declined 80% as compared to research studies conducted in 1944." And: "We presented scientific research in the field of cognition and brain science, suggesting dominant use of technology...retards intellectual and perceptional-motor skills."<br />
<br />
<b>Exercise:</b> Write out 5 things you can do in your industry or company or department -- to reverse this -- ensure that we have 80% increase in creativity skills over the next 70 years...<br />
<br />
Time to increase awareness of the impact of our use of technology -- and right brain exercise -- in every career?! With strong activation of the right brain skills/acumen (big picture thinking, pattern recognition, the "ah hah" brain, insight, longer-range collaborative thinking more adaptable to change, as well as more creative and innovative, "out of the box") - we can integrate with left brain for whole brain thinking at higher intelligence levels. <br />
<br />
<b>3. For fun and to spark your right brain for innovative ideas about how we might transform our future for better outcomes with greater awareness -- watch the film: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/" target="_blank">"Idiocracy."</a> </b> A man goes to sleep cryogenically for 500 years and discovers that he's the smartest person on planet Earth. Ooops.<br />
<br />
<b>Or watch Pixar's Oscar Winning <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910970/" target="_blank">"Wall-E"</a></b> animated film is a powerful, prophetic take on waking up -- to create more workable new technology and new inventions than can sustain, not threaten, ecospheres, our intelligence and health -- and all life systems.<br />
<br />
Exercise: Having watched either film: Write down key new innovative steps we can take -- and that you could be part of -- to shift society and technology use toward new sustainable and creative global outcomes.<br />
<br />
<b>4. </b><b>For inspiration and right brain "ah hah" moments, watch the
documentary: <a href="http://iamthedoc.com/" target="_blank">"I AM:
The Shift Is about to Hit the Fan"</a> </b>-- from Hollywood director Tom Shadyack (an hour on the Oprah Show was dedicated to this uplifting film and the realizations of a successful film director -- "Ace Ventura" et al -- about the new opportunities before us with different life choices.) A visual spark
for higher intelligence creative imagination about our long-view "opportunities." We have many! Let us "turn on" not "turn off" -- higher
right brain / whole brain intelligence.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>5. Ask and Write -- tap your Inner Genius: </b>Write down the question: Where would you begin, if you were tasked with reinventing our use of
technology or alternative technology -- or <i>humanology</i> -- for a better
society? A better future 1000 years hence? Begin to develop a mind for "FutureThink." Write the answer as if you were an expert with Right Brain, FutureThink Mind...<br />
<br />
If we never ask ourselves these kinds of questions, then we never get
answers to these kinds of questions! Writing down the question and then attempting to answer it for real -- is a mega right brain stretch and a little <i>time travel</i> -- for the sake of future generations...<br />
<br />
Bon voyage...<br />

Challenge: Are a Society's Values Reflected in Its Technology? Can We Reinvent?</a>)</b><br />
<br />
<b>The Ultimate Career Opportunity: Reinvention. Humanology. Exercise: 12 Points to Spark New Career Thinking!</b><br />
<b><br />
</b>Where's the course on "<u>re</u>invention? Will we develop New Expertise from the Dept. of Unintended Consequences? "Going Back to the
Drawing Board 101" with Hindsight -- and Futuresight -- for Quantum Leaps in Reinvention? If you read this -- and do the point-by-point exercise...there could be millions in dollars and new career networks springing to mind where before you <i>weren't looking...</i><br />
<i></i><br />
<a name='more'></a><i> </i><br />
<br />
What if we had the ultimate opportunity, and were allowed to go "back
to the drawing board" with new right brain and left brain thinking,
integrated and harmonized? (See<a href="http://rightbrainblogs.blogspot.com/2012/07/are-societys-values-reflected-in-its.html" target="_blank"> Part I</a> for "Stereo Braining). Would we have invented automobiles differently instead of the
way we did? Light bulbs? DC vs. AC current? Electrical pollution standards for EMF? Plastics? Nonrenewable fuel focus? If we'd known the health/ecosystem/mind stress problems we were creating? Was a more
life-enhancing long-term solution possible?<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://www.rightbrainaerobics.com/" target="_blank">Right brain thinking/training</a> opens new ways to explore "hindsight thinking" as well as "futuresight thinking" with conscious skill.</b> Its metaphor includes
"big picture" as well as "long picture thinking" --
imagination for a "quantum leap" insight outside of 24/7 orientation to 5000 years from now to
see what effects (presently unseen consequences of inventions) might be visible to a more non-linear, non-local
mind. New career/society/technology opportunities?<br />
<br />
<b>Exercise: </b>As in<a href="http://rightbrainblogs.blogspot.com/2012/07/are-societys-values-reflected-in-its.html" target="_blank"> Part I,</a> see what happens as you read each point: Write down new Career ideas that pop into your mind? New company ideas? New Class ideas? Can you write a Business Plan for the "Ah Hah" brain...? Or are others already doing this and you didn't get the memo. Create a new memo! Get your napkin out and let's starting reinventing, as we...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MM2_JnfyVD0/UA254PNek2I/AAAAAAAAAGY/QrCX66Pk-9g/s1600/Fotolia_7061286_M_Xsm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MM2_JnfyVD0/UA254PNek2I/AAAAAAAAAGY/QrCX66Pk-9g/s200/Fotolia_7061286_M_Xsm.jpg" width="150" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. Come Face-to-Face with the "Ah Hah" Brain...The Best Part of Our Thinking!</b> <br />
<br />
Is this a new paradigm of invention? <b>Coming face-to-face with this
intuitive-creative "ah hah" brain is also coming face-to-face with
the best part of us</b>? That's what happens when we take the <i>time </i>to
think about what we're doing. To reflect and contemplate with more
thoughtful wisdom about the impact. <br />
<br />
<b>2. A "Do Over" Career Track?</b> <br />
<br />
What if we had a chance for a "do over"? What comes to mind? Will there be "Do Over Experts"? If we have a
"do over" brain that forgives and allows us to learn from mistakes
and try again to be as good as our higher potential, it is likely the right
brain -- metaphorically. It is not time to lament but to "<u><b>see</b></u>" --
opportunity in our own short-sightedness. Short Sightedness is just Step 1 for Long Sightedness.<i> (Thanks to Tim Morley for his comments prompting ideas about the "do over" brain...)</i><br />
<br />
<b>3. "Future Mind"? Or "Short-Term Mind"? Remote Viewing?</b> <br />
<br />
We can see that technology can cause "invisible" problems when compounded over
long periods -- and begin to recreate it training "future mind"
instead of "short-term" mind. That involves a kind of <b>"remote viewing"</b> - taught in Level 2 of Right Brain Aerobics but as applied to problem-solving and insight revelations... A lot of new brain stretching and
creation of new grey matter is likely to occur when training non-local mind. We already know that right brain mind stretching such as
meditation/mental focus and using the creative centers of the
"symbol-speak" brain differently can increase grey matter. (See <a href="http://www.rightbrainaerobics.com/RBA_Articles.html" target="_blank">Articles/Research</a>
at <a href="http://www.rightbrainaerobics.com/" target="_blank">Right Brain
Aerobics</a>.) Could you actually have a <u>career</u> as a "remote viewing" or "future mind" expert? Not just a "futurist": A "future mind" expert... That's different. <i>(See the work and workshops of <a href="http://www.stephanaschwartz.com/biography/" target="_blank">Stephan A. Schwartz</a>, one of the inventors of "Remote Viewing" techniques or sign up for <a href="http://www.schwartzreport.net/maillist.php" target="_blank">The Schwartz Report </a>(no charge) and get an advance tip about <a href="http://www.schwartzreport.net/index.php" target="_blank">future trends, patterns, and trends that effect new minds</a>. Start thinking "ahead of the curve" where new career tracks and reinventing the future are emerging.)</i><br />
<br />
<b>4. Career Tracks for an "Affirming" Society of Higher Intelligence?</b><br />
<br />
If the technology which a society creates contributes to its own land/water/space/mental pollutions and problems -- then do we have <b>a
wake-up call about perception</b> as much as about technology problems? We should have "seen" most of the problems beforehand; we have the intelligence to do it -- but we didn't.<br />
<br />
Time to
create anew the coming <b>natural or healthy technologies which <u>will</u> reflect the society's
and planet's better intelligence and the interests of thriving health for all living
systems:</b> An opportunity for that society, to consciously recreate its own
technology to serve greater aspirations for all its peoples; and <b>enhance the
living systems which are its source rather than jeopardizing them. </b>This
is a "learning" society. It is an "affirming"
society. <br />
<br />
Perhaps creative learning from and correction of our <i>mistakes</i>,
cleaning up our<b> </b>physical and mental environments, giving our minds more<b>
responsible</b> challenges -- <b>is the greater, higher use of innovative genius!! What is one idea you could think of right now for an "impossible thing" career path that might interest you thinking along this line of "giving our minds more responsible challenges"? Write it down -- that begins to manifest new dreams.</b><br />
<br />
<b>5. A Choice of Mind: Being Thought-full -- or Thought-Less? Where Will It Lead? Can You Become a Paid Problem Solver Today? Yes. Read Below.</b> <br />
<br />
We <i>can</i> see now in hindsight. We know what can happen when we invent technologies which fill landfills -- not thinking ahead, we made "thought-less" technologies, destructive technologies, technologies
only for the convenience of one species and moment in history. Without enough thought of
its long-term impact on the future. Nobody asked us to think about this... But that doesn't mean we can't - and many are? Could you create a new "Inventions Company"? There are already lots of new models. Take a look at this one in Australia: <a href="http://www.ideaconnection.com/" target="_blank"><b>IdeaConnection</b></a> -- where you can sign up right now to be a <a href="http://www.ideaconnection.com/solvers-available.html" target="_blank">Paid Problem Solver</a> (sign up via email on the site! in one of the many many industries listed. Sponsor an <a href="http://www.ideaconnection.com/idea-rally/" target="_blank">"Idea Rally"</a> -- or sell your invention directly to those interested, as the website concept brokers <a href="http://www.ideaconnection.com/new-inventions/" target="_blank">direct connections for inventors</a> and crowd-sourcing funding, like an exchange. <b><i>These are the companies of a reinvented future.</i></b> Get out your pen and pad. <br />
<br />
When we <b>play games with our resources without
thinking about the consequences; </b>without thinking about<b> interspecies
interconnections;</b> without considering human societies millennia hence, who are
fully dependent on how we treat those resources and how we train our own minds
now: -- Well, we miss an amazing opportunity for our minds! As well as our futures! Let those minds CONSIDER all long-range and ecosystem/mind system factors and stretch our brains with transforming ideas of technology, not just short-term fun inventions. What new opportunities! We can have New Fun...and we don't even know what it will look like yet.<br />
<br />
If we do it right, imagine a society without the "unintended consequences" we're seeing that pain us in health, mind, climate, and society right now! Wow. <b>Reinvent in Thought-full Context = Expanding the Mental/Environmental Context. </b> <i>Every day, all of the future depends on our choices. </i> It is no small
responsibility - as <i>now</i> we are at <i>a tipping point. Thought-full? Or Thought-Less. Each creates new opportunities. <b>What opportunities do you see? Write them down.</b></i><br />
<br />
<b>6. Inconsequential Thinking vs. Consequential Thinking</b> <br />
<br />
Might <u>not</u> contemplating consequences be called: <b> Inconsequential
thinking? </b>Might contemplating consequences be called: <b>Consequential
thinking? </b>Duality in our values focus is reflected in our
technologies. We may need <b>Consequential Technologies</b> -- the result of carefully thinking about long-term consequences and reinventing for fewer long-term problems: 7 Generation Thinking as was common among traditional peoples. We have a heritage of "Long View" Mind but we're not calling upon it fully yet. <br />
<br />
Do we really need Inconsequential Technologies or thinking? We are almost past the
point of having time to correct our mistakes. Taking time to think through how we came to the consequences of our past actions thinking -- may be the highest form of
human intelligence. <b>Human society with mature intelligence. </b> If we never
take time to think, we have thought-less societies. If we never take time
to think, we have thought-less technologies. We could have both thoughtful technologies and societies; it is <b>a choice.</b> <b>What are some thought-full new technologies and careers that you can see?</b> Could you "invent" one?<br />
<br />
<b>7. Paying a Mental Price...</b>?<br />
<br />
We also pay a mental price for not thinking things through, not contemplating with a
higher intelligence, not contemplating a higher society with higher
standards for its creation of technology and its empathetic life systems. We lose mental acumen, creative thinking skills, the ability to focus -- it literally impacts brain and mind. <b>Our future societies will be simply a reflection of whether
or not we take the time to <i>think.</i> They will also be a reflection
of <i>where we focus. (<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/07/technology/07brain.html/?pagewanted=all" target="_blank">See "Attached to Technology and Paying a Price," NY Times series on "Your Brain and Computers."</a>) </i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
If this is a key focus for a whole NY Times series, is this not a "leading indicator" that new companies and careers will follow this idea and create new solutions? <i>Get out your pen and pad now.</i><b><i><br /></i></b><br />
<b><i></i></b><br />
<br />
<b>8. Looking Up or Looking Down? Your Brain and Invention Follow. Location, Location, Location!</b><br />
<br />
With every technology iteration, we are training our own minds and changing
our planet. We have reached a point where we rarely look <b><i>up</i></b> at
vaster things like the universe, to spark vaster, "big picture"
thinking. More and more we look <b><i>down</i></b> at small screens,
essentially: Game Boxes. Are we to be <i>the people of universal thinking
and life-enhancing technologies?</i> Or <i>the people of Game Boxes</i>?
Wherever we <b><i>look</i></b> -- brain and society follow. <br />
<br />
Look up! Look at the stars! Visit a Planetarium Show TIP: Go to the Seattle Center 50 Year Retrospective on the Worlds Fair and go through <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/07/technology/07brain.html/?pagewanted=all" target="_blank"><b>Whidbey GeoDome's display </b></a>in the Pavilion: The <a href="http://www.newstories.org/projects/the-whidbey-geodome/" target="_blank"><b>Earth Portal</b> </a>(created with some young directors and technology teams, too, thinking into the future). Picture the Big Picture for "Looking Up" -- in a portable immersive GeoDome view with you at the center of the Universe... Like watching from the bridge of Star Ship Enterprise...and you're driving... Think about what new roles you might want to play in a reinvented world! But this is now! Real jobs in new right brain technologies use like this are being created all the time! Get involved in "looking up" -- it's a trend of future mind...<br />
<br />
Notice <i>where you are </i>(we're not inside of small smartphones, quiet as it's kept). If <b>location, location, location</b> is important in real estate -- it's also important for your mind!!! To be a good citizen of the universe, whether or not we think there is life
here -- there <i>is life here. </i>We must be responsible in the ways we
express our gift of creativity to each other -- and in the ways we express it in
technologies which depend on heavy use of a planet's resources, which are finite? What is our best use of it? Can we do better than our current convenience products or entertainment products, cosmetic and fuel products that are toxic to some systems? Water pollution from dumping waste there? Is that
all there is to us? Don't we want to be remember for something new? As the society which reinvented "invention" and fixed it all by thinking anew, moving from health care -- to real health across all living systems, in the process? It's possible and I know people who are creating new programs every day to solve this. What are your ideas? What role would you like for yourself and your children?<br />
<br />
<b>9. "Conscious Societies" = "Conscious Technologies."</b><br />
<br />
We've begun trying to create more <i>"conscious"</i>
societies, trying to learn from past mistakes. We're still learning.
And there's a lot of opportunity to <b>represent the better part of us -- to the
future.</b><br />
<br />
We have now reached a time to create <i>"conscious"</i>
technologies -- not robots but technologies created by purposeful, thought-full, compassionate human beings. Technologies which reflect and prompt more "conscious" societies
which use them -- and fairer societies which look at long-term consequences. Societies that correct past mistakes in large and expansive
ways. Ones that are <i>not self-focused only, not selfish but expansive. Can we invent things that will make future "conscious" societies truly proud of us? Can we tell the truth about our society and why we reinvented it? Is this a book <u>you</u> can write? </i><br />
<br />
<b>10. New Technology Protocols and The Golden Rule... Golden Technology...</b><br />
<br />
What we use our technology <i>for</i> matters. (From the Catherine O'Hara
quote,<i> "It's not so much how busy you are but why you are busy..."</i>)
What are we busy for, with all of our technology? Creating more
consciously "right brain" protocols in our planning and assessment of technology planing could be a first step: Expansiveness. Compassion. Long-sightedness. Whole
Systems Thinking, Interconnectedness of Living Systems. Every object and technology affects all living systems and aquifers at some point in its use, discard, or secretion; this is a new kind of "discipline" in a technical society that before has acted without it.<br />
<br />
Truly <b>"Golden Technology"</b> may be Technology which is created with the Golden Rule: <i> Do unto others with technology, what you
would have them do unto you. </i>Includes all living things and
living systems of soils, water, and air. What if our ancestors of 3000
years ago had trashed the planet? How would we think of them? What if we in the age of modern industrialization trash the planet irreparably? How will we be thought of? Can we "perceive" and "empathize" with future societies? Will this take <i>training? Why?.... Will you be the one to create such training? May it be essential training for future Technology Certifications?</i> <br />
<br />
<b>11. Our Responsibility for the Best Societies of the Future: "Mirror, Mirror on the
Wall"</b><br />
<br />
In each generation, through our choices, we are creating new (or limiting all) opportunities for societies decades
hence, centuries hence, millennia hence. <i>We cannot create responsible
technologies with a mind that is not able to "vision" its own
responsibility for societies of the future.</i> We are not our
technology. But it does reflect us. <br />
<br />
<i>We want to see the best reflection of ourselves there, when we say,
"Mirror, Mirror on the Wall." What do <u>you</u> think that vision should be? Start writing it down. Somebody will. It might as well be you!</i><br />
<br />
<b>12. Our Greatest Opportunity Is to Rethink...not Rehash Lamentations </b><br />
<br />
To rethink and recast each of our technologies and understand how they
interlock with living systems which support us as we support them -- such that
they reflect our greater intelligence and our best selves; to include emotion
and passion, good heartedness, expansiveness, empathy, compassion, love,
fairness, honesty, integrity, without fraud -- with thriving instead of greed as a driver, with healthiness,
trustworthiness, affirmation, common-ground thinking, long-view impact
thinking, <i>consequential</i> thinking as the drivers, foundational in the starting line
and the finishing line of all products, processes of science and technology; to
rethink <i>who we are</i>... <br />
<br />
To consider that our value lies beyond what technology we have managed to
accumulate, perhaps even just for status (but then toss into dumpsters in a few months, outmoded)....to consider that our value lies beyond
mistakes with nuclear energy, toxic
destructive chemicals and pesticides and medicines we used to think were okay...<b>While some think a few of these are not correctable, my sense is that anything is transformable with transformed mind and multidimensional intelligence and compassion. Anything.</b><br />
<br />
<b>13. Time to <i>Redefine Innovation</i> according to Its Effects </b><br />
<br />
These are the principles which may
be central in our new opportunity. When we forget them, when we leave
them out of our best intentions for technology and science, we've forgotten <i>our own value...</i><br />
<br />
We do not have to complain about technologies or pollution or entertainment
or surveillance or weapons or gadgetry that we do not like. We are perfectly <b>capable of quantum leaps of
thought to create corrective and compassionate technologies and redefine
"innovation."</b> Innovation is not innovation, which jeopardizes the
continuation of life systems, species, and the health of all of human and
living society. <i>That is not innovation</i>. That is something
else. <i>It is time to redefine what innovation might be, when we are at
our human best... <b>That might be the most important career for anyone in future societies, redefining innovation altogether. How would you go about creating such a career?</b></i><br />
<br />
<b><i>14. Humanology...The "Ology" of the Future. Higher Levels of Human Intelligence and Multidimensional Non-Local Mind...</i></b><br />
<br />

<br />
Now is the time to be consciously, responsibly creative with, in author <b><a href="http://www.danpink.com/whole-new-mind" target="_blank">Dan Pink's</a>
words, "A Whole New Mind."</b> Accessing our long-view higher intelligence
can cause us to aspire to <i>integrity in our creativity and higher standards
of responsibility, morality, and honor in our innovation: </i> Above all
it is that intelligence which honors the future as it learns from its
past. And from it will come new societies as well as new ways to use or
not use technology as we find better natural life systems alternatives. Perhaps
that needs a new name... Perhaps <i>humanology.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Through rethinking and recreating our technology at higher levels of
intelligence-- we will rethink and recreate our societies at higher levels of
intelligence. </i><b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Might there be careers in "Humanology"? What does that look like?</b> Stay tuned. In a way, <a href="http://www.rightbrainaerobics.com/" target="_blank">Right Brain Aerobics</a> was created as a kind of "humanology" company, to <a href="http://www.rightbrainaerobics.com/Classes.html" target="_blank">train</a> and reveal higher multidimensional and supersensory awareness skills that are far beyond our current thinking - for practical daily applications as we redefine work and life. <b> </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
What human consciousness -- extended far beyond studies of neuroscience and the brain or even the heart and body -- truly is, is so vast that we cannot conceive in these terms and that's why it may be the greatest new discipline of all. Right Brain + Left Brain does NOT = Whole Brain. It yields something much more than that -- something new. And the first time, in my 60's, when I began to discover what it really might be -- it not only blew my mind, it began a new career, made me forget all about 1's and 0's technologies (though I was fond of the idea of "Fuzzy Logic" technologies) -- and I began to grow a new love for human potential that was staggering. It still staggers me every day. We will not, and cannot be limited by old paradigm technology. It's not who we <i>are.</i> We are <i>discoverers.</i> And we are not here just to create gadgets or weaponry.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned. After my shock (as a former devotee of all <b>technology, science, and the singularity</b>): This is NOT going to turn out like we thought it was. We are not technology and we can't be defined by neurons. We can't be limited by ideas that travel in space or time can only be via current linear technology. We have big surprises coming. Einstein's "entanglement" mystery is very much related to "Humanology." I wish I had decades more to study this. Wait! Never underestimate the power of human creative to create New Health decades more for all of us... (There's going to be that, too.)<br />
<br />
What was Einstein contemplating later in life? Constantly thinking about it, wanting to know? <b>He asked young physicists: What are you finding out about "spooky action at a distance" in your research? That was his overriding question to the young physicists who wrote "Quantum Enigma: Physics Discovers Consciousness"by Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner... "Spooky Action at a Distance." It's what Einstein cared to talk about. Stay tuned. We may all be talking about it soon. We haven't even started on the "Humanology" career track yet...</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Question: If you were a "Humanologist" and wanted to create a new unique career track for yourself, what would you do Monday morning?... Get out your pad an pen.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Yes. Pad and pen. Right brain information comes in more directly and in bigger pictures and more creative connections using them. But until we have new greener paper solutions, every time you buy paper or a book, plant a tree! You can plant trees easily and daily!

<b>Creative Thinking Will Be Sparked as We Reinvent Societies & Technologies. Plus: A Right Brain Long-Range Career Exercise -- that could change your life.</b><br />

Are a Society's Values Reflected in Its Technology? <b> </b>That is its legacy. And also a clue to the unanticipated vista of new opportunities for new minds. With global challenges, many are looking again at how we are creating our societies - and seeing that it is time for "reinvention" of our technology paradigms as well? Each reflects our values... Time for "Stereophonic Braining"...<br />

<br />
<b>Stereophonic Braining?</b><br />
<br />
Time to put on new thinking caps -- Right Brain as well as Left Brain. If there was ever an opportunity for Whole Brain Thinking (<b>Stereophonic Braining?</b>) -- this is it!<br />
<br />
<b>Time for All to Benefit from Our Inventing Skills...?</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br />
<i>All of us</i> are learning -- and it's now time for <i>all of us </i>to benefit from what we've learned. That's new thinking -- more right brain, more collaborative, more cooperative, more compassionate -- and more focused on enhancing all life systems and biodiversity on our planet to preserve its "outrageously unique" specialness. How many planets do we see around the universe like this? One. Can we become "reinventors" of ourselves and our technology to reflect new knowledge gained from revelations about the effects of "unintended consequences" -- and the values spawned in that? <br />
<br />
Somewhere in this thinking is <b>a career or "new thinking" opportunity for you, </b>for <b>every human</b>, because many "new millennium inventors" are already creating new models, inventions to address new emergencies we didn't know were coming. We've learned from our mistakes, and also the opportunity inherent in "rethinking" now as we finally "see" the vast problems with over-consumption, too much "stuff" (Want to lower expenses? Invent creative alternatives to constant "new stuff" to keep up with the Jones and create a society where there will still BE societies in 3012... Most "stuff" is headed for landfills or storage units where <b>you pay when it's a "disposable" society.</b>). We also pay in a distracted and stressed mind glued to small screens (which monitor us) and the technology is obsolete next month (and <b>you pay for the "new model" economy</b> -- new version/technology change is now constant and<b> you're forced to buy the new model </b>when you can't afford it, because otherwise you won't be able to read communication on the old technology; but the existing technology model was working fine! It wasn't broken! Just superseded by new "stuff."..<br />
<br />
<b>You pay in higher garbage/disposal costs</b> and your time taken to separate "disposables." You pay when unanticipated filling of landfills with discarded electronics and other <b>"stuff" builds toxins i</b>n ecospheres and aquifers. <b>You pay, working insane hours because our technology/values enable it, </b>having less time for relationships, less time to really "rethink" or even care about what we're doing on the planet.<br />
<br />
<b>Start thinking <i>now </i>where your role might be</b> as we creatively "reinvent" a planet's society, economics, and technologies...this is beginning everywhere in the midst of our angst. Here are some points -- and an exercise -- to transform problems into vast new opportunities -- of mind, society, and technology. Here are some aspects:<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Long-Range Career Exercise: </b><br />
<br />
As you read each new point, <b>write down at least one or two new career/jobs that you can see created from our</b> "coming reinvention age" to solve problems and make society work better! If it really strikes a chord -- start writing a business plan. Find out if there's a course. Teach it! If not you, then who? All major technology companies today started with this kind of thinking exercise at a <i>personal level</i>; that's how it will be fixed. <b> All change starts at a<i> personal level...</i></b> And usually? A <b>right brain level...</b><br />
<br />
<b>1. Viewing Technology by Its Long-Term Effects on Society = </b><b>New Career Skills </b><br />
<br />
Should our specification sheets and project development include an assessment of the "1000 year effect"? This will be a new thinking/analysis skill. Beyond looking for 6 Sigma potential, recognizing the "big picture" over long time periods will be key. Developing "pattern recognition" skills. And that's <b>right brain skill. So get to increasing those skills and credentials popping up everywhere.</b><br />
<br />
<b>2. Assessing Technology by the Values It Entrains = Seeing What Others Do Not</b> <br />
<br />
If our technology is primarily used for tools which are about short-term gain, individual self-focus instead of "big picture" focus -- or pose harm to biological living systems and as weaponry, are not equitably available to everyone, or include floods of disposable gadgets of convenience so <b>quickly obsolete yet not biodegradable</b> that makeshift landfill ecosystems are overwhelmed! So are our values. This becomes a mirror of that society and what it values. We want to be the best that we can be.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Long View Designers...</b> <br />
<br />
We must begin to think more <b>"right brain" with purpose,</b> focusing on<b> transforming patterns of design with a "long view" </b>and a bigger picture in mind. What are the effects of each technology 1000 years into the future? Shouldn't it be <b>a career advantage to be able to think and design in millennial terms with long views </b>as well as understanding the design needs of an "instant" society? How do we reconcile this and what is the opportunity?<br />
<br />
<b>4. Long View Society Designers? </b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
How we create and think through our technology is integral in how we create and think through our society -- and trains our minds and viewpoints daily. It may be key now to act on our realization the continually there are reinforcing connections between technology design and societal design.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Programming a New "App" = Programming a New Mind?</b> <br />
<b>Reinventing How We Invent?</b><br />
<br />
We do not usually think, when trying to create "the next big thing," that <b>when we program a new "app" -- we may be programming a new society and a new mind. </b>We have the opportunity now to more creatively and compassionately and thoughtfully -- right brain thinking skills -- reinvent how we invent! We are just coming to understand that we are creating the environments that will form the minds and values of multiple generations. Reinvention skills are different than invention skills. <b>Should the psychology of programming (with a millennial view) be a new course? Could you teach it?</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<b>6. Could Short-Term Technology = Short-Term Society? </b><br />
<b>Is Long-Term Technology Creation Going to Create New Careers?</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
How many of our technologies are designed to last more than a few years? How much of our "stuff" needs biodiverse resources -- but we're cutting them down as fast as we can for a "new model" of something? Does cutting down biodiverse rain forests = cutting down on a biodiverse future and ending those resources? (See <a href="http://www.storyofstuff.org/" target="_blank">"The Story of Stuff" and "The Story of Change" </a>animated videos -- it will blow your mind -- in a good way. In every story: Is new creative opportunity.) I know the "big picture thinker" who helped found this project years ago -- all such new projects come from one thinker sitting at a kitchen table or a desk musing. <b>That could be you...</b><br />
<br />
<b>7. Rethinking -- <u>Our Minds</u>?</b><br />
<br />
<b>We don't usually see our "minds" as an object of history and invention;</b> but they are. Now we are thinking that way. That means we can <b><i>consciously reinvent ourselves</i></b> by understanding that every technology and daily choice IS retraining and reinventing our minds. Perhaps one of the greatest careers of the future will be new "right brain" sciences of the mind and consciousness...looking far beyond how we've defined those in the past, and reconciling our knowledge that we are way more than we think, and can <b>be</b> way more than we ever thought...<br />
<br />
We're creating technological environments that we stare at all day, and these act as a kind of right brain "vision board" cue. <b> Can small screen watching = small screen mind? </b> Are we training ourselves, without awareness, to think smaller, more self-focused? Already studies are emerging that <b>increased cell phone use somehow leads to greater "selfishness" and isolation.</b> What happens to society? What are "human electronic relationships"? Better find out: Because soon that's about all we'll have at this rate. Phones for human contact? Not so much. Phone use is going down on smart phones, screen use is going up. I AM NOT MY SCREEN SHOT!! Ooops. That was too emotional. Oh, but wait a minute. That is where we're headed. Small Screen Relationships and not too much emotion -- because we're never really <i>around other people; they exist on screens.</i><br />
<br />
<i>But we ARE thinkers and we are passionate creators. We're about to reinvent all of this. And you want to be activated with a ready "right brain" for this one! </i></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
We can always do better! That's what we do! We learn. And we can now exercise amazing genius rarely trained. I see it every day in right brain training classes. We can be more innovative and creative and compassionate with a "long view" to exercise the gifts of multidimensional intelligence and the ability to create technology which are our blessings. Far beyond anything we've ever imagined!<br />
<br />
<b>8. Taking Responsibility...</b> <br />
<br />
We <u><i>can</i></u> "reinvent" solutions for more habitable and long-range, life-affirming technology that sustain all societies equally over long eons, as we come to <b>understand that as our responsibility and make it our intention? </b> That's our New Mind -- and we're inventing it right now. Or you wouldn't be reading this. Will there be new disciplines based on <i>taking responsibility? There are no courses for that. Will there be a course now?</i> <br />
<br />
We can be more patient. Though there is no course for <i>"Patience 101."</i> There will be -- it will just be called something else or part of the<i> "Long View Thinking and Analysis" course... </i>We do have the patience to do even better! To go back to the drawing board again and again, seeking even more creative "quantum leaps" of insight, until we get it right. <b> A sign of the highest intelligence and values... That's who we are...! </b><br />
<br />
<b>9. Industries Will Form around New Minds... </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>There will be industries forming around THAT New Mind. The mind of higher intelligence and multidimensional/extradimensional intelligence. You want to start looking for them -- or start one yourself...<u>now.</u> That's our future. As we create new technologies with a long view, more compassionate and right brain technologies, we will be creating new societies. And even there, new courses will pop up: "Right Brain Societies?" "Stereophonic Braining 101?" </b><br />
<br />
It is highly likely that "work" will be redefined, too, so you want to be thinking about that. That will be a career filed, the redefinition of "work," how and where we do it with New Minds, and what it is.... As we create and use New Minds, we will create New Societies. And that means "work" and "society" in 2112 may be very different than now.<br />
<br />
<b>The organizations that will research and redefine that are being created <i><u>now.</u></i></b><b> Join one or create one -- and you will be catching an unprecedented new wave of opportunity...</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>10. What Did You Think of as You Wrote Down New Possible Careers from each of the 10 Points. Did one or two intrigue you... </b>Start writing a <b>New Business plan</b> -- because New Business is coming right along with New Mind and New Society...<br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i> "The empires of the future are the empires of the mind." </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>-- Winston Churchill</i></span><br />
<b></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<b> Stay tuned for Part II... (continuing the original blog, if you read that first and wondered </b><br />
<b> where it went!) Here, change is constant! </b></div>

We seem to think we're in a creativity-and-innovation crisis because that's what we read. You'd think we were inventing nothing new. This depends a lot on where you sit in the Timeline of Human History and whether or not you're from this Planet...<br />
<br />
Herstorians/Historians of 4012 might think we had a crisis of a different kind: TOO MUCH creativity and innovation of non-biodegradable, non-organic, non-repurposeful plastic-electronic, mind-shrinking junk toys for landfills. Those from another planet visiting might say to us: "What were you thinking?#!?" as we try to export our New-Model Model of Garbage Landfill Business to the Moon and Mars.<br />
<br />
While we might say to ourselves, Yes, Well, it IS too bad that we trashed the planet with trash, but what was I to do? I have to communicate! And I can't do it without the new Model 27! I'll be offline. Out of business! But those in 4012, they might wish we had shipped our creativity to the Moon instead of our garbage!<br />
<br />
But wait: Isn't this then, the greatest opportunity we've had yet? To look at how to create more "right brain" technology in a new way -- using right brain thinking which is more than creativity; it is long-range thinking, collaborative and cooperative, intuitive and compassionate "big picture thinking," seeing the whole, pattern recognition at higher levels of intelligence. Perhaps this is a turning-point- time in technology and industrialization. We've got to come up with something besides a new model that's obsolete in a week. Let's earn the admiration from citizens 100, 1000, 10,000 years from now - about how we were the ones who transformed a new-model-a-month technology into something new and transformed "landfill planet" forever!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">A universal celebration
and benchmark in human species history will occur when we have our first
going-out-of-business sale: For Landfill. Get your Landfill products now,
while they last! Or: The last landfill product going on eBay for $1
Gazillion. Wait a minute --</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Maybe eBay is the ultimate recycling program?! Maybe eBay and Thrift Stores everywhere should be receiving Government Subsidies. Creating millions of jobs!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">But we're not in our <i>right mind...yet. </i>Time for "right brain" innovation -- with the future impact of every "new model" in mind. Where are we going? Who benefits long-term as well as short-term? How are different geographies and aquifers and climates affected? Having spent decades in technology/innovation, I have high hope that we might transform our gadgets <i>organically</i> -- before the gadgets transform us <i>organically...</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><i><br /></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Isn't it time to make things that are better for us and longer-visioned? Communicating globally is great -- but do we need to models to read that communication, <i>every month?</i> It's new models that lead the headlines about what we're doing with technology as a species, with little mention of their long-term implications. We can rethink the "gadget focus" and perhaps recapture the focus of our children -- directing them to much larger visions, beyond a new model of smartphone and into how we excel as a technical <i>and</i> compassionate human society. We can do better...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">We need to make better memories for our children... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">And rethink how we innovate...and its long term implications. We need to "see" using the brain differently -- imagining our role in "the long view." We are, right now, making or eliminating opportunities for those who'll come in 4012. We're living with decisions made by people 10,000 years ago when agriculture began; and we got shorter and less long-lived. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">It's not going to be human creative genius. In fact it's getting stronger -- human intuition and innovating thinking is bursting at the seams to go somewhere new. <b>Therefore: Mountains of Garbage and the New-Model-a-Month-Club have to give.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">So: Turn human creative genius with nowhere new to go and no jobs -- onto the project of creative healthy dematerialization of the Mountains of Garbage New-Model-a-Month Model.</span><br />

It holds subtle, non-linear clues -- though language is thought linear. Our associations with it are not.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">But it will enter more and more seamlessly – not being trained or applied in contexts like the <i>Psychology
Today</i> story – but in practical business and counseling case studies. We’re in a new<i> time zone for
psyche-ology</i>. We have a lot more right
brain thinkers with new language. That
makes the skill set – not just the words – translatable for modern societies and work. Success and
self-understanding can be redefined in new <i>self-discovery. </i>(See examples in Tom Rodman’s

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The language itself is going to raise or lower barriers -- raise or lower out ability to wrap our brains around natural, mind-boggling skills. After looking through this article, my sense was that this was a much more important, multidimensional issue than it first seemed. And a clue perhaps to upcoming "next big things." We may be an in age of "power mind" training fueled by brain science breakthroughs. But I have renewed my resolve to make it available in organic form, as I have seen it displayed -- without chemicals, drugs, technology, electrical zapping, chips in the brain; it's quite possible to amaze yourself with a new mind anytime, anywhere, and you always have the lab with you.</span></span></span></h3>

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">When we teach this as “right brain aerobics,” it’s practical
and career-focused “right brain business skills” – developing a more “multidimensional
intelligence,” That language lets me think about it in new ways. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The output from business/career
trainees has been quite exceptional from my vantage
point as observer; I would give anything to have had these transferrable techniques when I
was still in corporations. The “right brainstorming” in alpha or “ah
hah” brain states is a spectacular experience for me. It exposes potential very differently than brainstorming sessions I participated in within unusual
business settings.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Unusually high levels of valuable insight by trainees
and leaders, consistent and repeatable – is just <i>something else</i> altogether from that which I experienced in corporations. And a lot
of people who’ve gone through such modern-language-right-brain-skill-building
experiences report similar observations. <i>Partly
because we can report them more accurately in mainstream career language! It seems true creativity isn't about ideas for new gadgets for "landfill planet" -- our signature piece -- it is a longer-range, far deeper intelligence; it is how to build realities from compassionate personal revelation -- and that is a real surprise.</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It seems to enable a kind of dissolving of paradigmatic
resistance, causing barriers to higher understanding to fall away – and unfamiliarity
with right brain territory to yield with practice -- leading to new maps and words for
describing the <i>extraordinary of the mind</i>. I was a successful innovator in my
careers – but I can’t imagine a time even then, when it was possible to, routinely and with a
simple technique, access different brain states for “quantum leaps” of mind. I just never experienced anything quite like this before or found such a
good use for the word “gobsmacked”! It is a remarkable thing to be "gobsmacked" over 65. That changes your life...<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

of consciousness and creative soaring once thought paranormal or the province
of geniuses, into practical “modern right brain languaging.” Perhaps the key to rapidly
develop exceptional “inner genius” or “multidimensional intelligence” skills for 21<sup>st</sup> century life, love, and business. Creating, no doubt, not simply "A Whole New MInd" -- but a whole new world of <i>these minds...</i></span></span></span></div>
