I was supposed to be running my very first gig for my new consultancy today — a pro bono LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® team building staff retreat for a non-profit.
Instead, I’ve been home in bed, on Day 10 of The Flu.
Despite spending the entire week 100% focused on Getting Well, the Universe conspired against me, and I had to cancel.
That’s the bad news.
I’d been looking forward to [Read more…]
It’s one from the archives today. I’ve got the flu, so rather than knock myself out to record a brand new episode, I reached back for a classic from two and a half years ago, episode 005.
Complete with old music from before the podcast name change and everything.

Anna Botelho started playing violin at age 4, pursued a degree in music and English, but when she found herself really needing to force herself to practice music, but running off to do choreography and rehearse with a dance troupe, she realized something had to change.

At the start of our conversation you’ll hear a few reasons why this is a great place to do just that, and how Anna used her pragmatic thinking to get Google to guild a dance studio right on campus!

I had planned to share an interview today, but we had a “first world problem” disaster with airplane tickets to Paris that took up the entire afternoon.
The afternoon that was supposed to be devoted to working on the podcast.
Instead I was canceling and rebooking frequent flier mile airplane tickets — which inadvertently cost us $1500 we are hoping to get back (the jury’s still out on that) — then spending hours on the phone with customer support to try to get seats together.
Yeah, it’s all ridiculously complicated. Don’t ask.
Anyway, interview episodes take a lot of time to produce, so I thought I’d share a new productivity tactic that’s been rattling around in my brain.
It’s unfinished, so you’re getting a behind-the-scenes look at something I’m working on.
These are my early thoughts, as I shared them the earlier this week with my Creative Sandbox Community.
