Write, and you could become influential, famous and fabulously wealthy. While that might happen, writing rarely pays off with any of those rewards. So why write? Peter has written more than a 1,000 articles. During that time he’s stumbled on a few secrets about writing that he was never taught in school. We learn by doing, so that might not be surprising. We also learn more about what we know by writing it down. In this session Peter will explore how to extract the most benefit possible from this solitary act.
Names: The Inertia of Structure
Naming something gives us power to it. Names add information, but they also constrict our understanding. Names are an abstraction that help and get in the way. If we want to see the world differently, we need to confront how what we call things shapes our perceptions.
There is No Spoon
What if I told you that all problems are illusory figments of our imagination, and all solutions are predetermined based on our perceptions? Weinberg/Gause offered this definition: “A problem is a difference between things as desired and things as perceived.” Join Peter as he delves into the implications of this perspective. That the problems we encounter depend entirely on things we control, what we desire and what we perceive. If you’re looking for an eclectic exploration a little further off the beaten path, this is it.
We Have Blind Spots Everywhere We Look
On the whole, we don’t do well with solving certain types of problem. Very often the information that we don’t have—and don’t know we are missing—is overwhelmingly more important that what we think we know. Join Peter as he shines a light on our blind spots.
To Master the Chaos – Become More CHAOTIC
Tomorrow is history, the old normal is gone, the future is a shared unknown. So we share pressing questions. What do we do after we finally accept all of this? How do we make progress despite the uncertain future? In this session Peter offers a possible C.H.A.O.T.I.C. approach.
Change Management as a Cultural Scale
Have you ever wanted to listen in on a far reaching discussion between three experts passionately exploring the topic they love most? That’s your opportunity this month. The topic is “change and chaos” – we touch on why Disney World garbage bins are 30 ft. apart, why they put the walkways down only after we’ve created a muddy path, and why we prefer the tried and true, rather than the new and shiny. Take the time to enjoy a totally different webinar format than we’ve ever offered in the past.
