10 Things You CAN Take With You: 

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... :)

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... … 

Whole Brain Organizations: Pulling for Creative Genius at All Levels?

For new solutions we need: New landscapes of solvers.  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.

That's a new landscape for problem solving in every organization -- but "Step 1" is: We must engage the "right brain" as well as the left, in every role.

3 Qualities of Right Brain Leadership

8-14-12 -- By Sandra H. Rodman, Creator, Right Brain Aerobics

@SHRodman - or Email Sandra Rodman

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. (If you want to know more about how Right Brain Aerobics looks at what is “left brain” and what is “right brain” look at Introduction to Right Brain Thinking.  Dan Pink transformed the 80's term "Right Brain" into a modern business concept with his book "A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers Will Rule the Future."

Right Brain Sound: Inspiring Higher Intelligence

Use Right Brain Sound to Inspire Higher Intelligence...

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.

Right Brain Exercises: Can Futurethink Impact Our Careers?

Right Brain Exercises in Futurethink -- Futurethink and Our Careers

1. An interesting research article recently suggested that "Our Brains Shrinking. Are We Getting Dumber?"  Whatever the reason,  greater awareness and brain exercises, stretching our minds to consider the future, may be imperative in future careers.

First, read this article from the NY Times series, "Your Brain on Computers" -- "Attached to Technology and Paying a Mental Price"  -- suggests that our all-day focus on our small screen mobile communication may be affecting relationships, thinking, distracted, unfocused minds.

Are a Society's Values Reflected in Its Technology?  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"...
