Thought for the Week
xxxxxxxxxxsual answers look pretty ordinary. If visuality has never been implemented in your company before, people may be reluctant to take chances and get creative. They may prefer to hang back to see if management is going to support them. When they see that support, they will begin to come out, day by day. Have faith in the process.

Thursday at 10am (Pacific) on
  


Is there a part of us so hidden from view that decades can pass without anyone noticing that we possess a rich and creative interior life? And is it possible that even then we ourselves may not take it that seriously--until one day we do? We just do. And that changes our lives, permanently and in ways that are dazzling. Tune in this week as Gwendolyn Galsworth has the rare treat of interviewing a man who started life as an artist, then became a master plumber and very successful businessman for nearly four decades--only to set it all aside in order to become an artist again. That man is Gwendolyn's brother, Gary Galsworth, known around Hoboken, NJ, as Gary da Plumber. As they talk, Gary shares his journey from, and then back to, his path with heart. Finding it was not that hard--but following it took guts. But just for the first few steps. Then it became the only way . During the show, Gary reads poems from his two books,  Yes Yes and Beyond the Wire--both available on Amazon.

Ideas: Growth in Both Directions    
by Gwendolyn Galsworth, PhD

We are fast approaching the time when companies realize and are ready to accept the astonishing POWER of em POWER ing people, and the remarkable changes that can result. Yes, people as a resource for ideas is at the core of a transformed work culture and incalculable financial benefits--as long as we are mindful of the traps. Like the ideas themselves, there are land mines we can step on. For now, I target two of them. And while you may find my remarks applicable to all ideas, everyone and any organizational level, this week I focus on ideas from hourly employees, value add associates--all visual thinkers-in-the-making.

The Challenge of the Small. As your understanding of visuality and how and why it works grows--and the visual thinkers who report to you begin to create visual solutions--pay close attention. It is now that your visual conversion is in its most delicate state...
