This is the alternative MBA
What happens when you get 3 very successful entrepreneurs into a room to talk about their success? There is a lot to be learned from the business world today and I contend you can learn most of it by listening to what those who are in it are saying. Of course trying your hand at [...]
What Makes You Say WOW?
One of our greatest failures today is the simple fact that we beat the love of dreaming out of people. If people didn’t dream where would technology be today? Yet when it comes to taking creative, even practical leaps, we are quick to knock people down. What a shame! This Microsoft Envisoning Lab is working [...]
Breaking Stereotypes
There are a lot of stereotypes out there and we, you and I, do a wonderful job of sustaining them. If I was to put the words fitness and models together what would you think? What if I was to add the words bikini and stage to the mix? Exactly! When I knew I was [...]
Must Have TED Podcasts!
I make no bones about it I think that the TED idea is the best thing I ever stumbled upon as an educator. I use TED.com materials in all my classes, have collaborated on various sized TEDx events. I have even settled on producing TEDx Salon events at my University. And now there is a [...]
What We All Need to Remeber Every Day!
Imagine what your office or classroom or home or or or would be like if this was your mantra!
How to Say Thank You Winslet Style

If you can dream it you can do it
I have a group of students making TED-like presentations on the Disney quotation, “if you can dream it you can do it.” Every student looked at me, blank. One student said she didn’t have a dream! And today I stumbled, again, upon the idea of using Icebergs as a viable water source. This is not a new [...]
We need a new perspective!
Chris Anderson recently spoke to a group of Harvard architecture grads. The speech was published here, http://tedchris.posterous.com/a-speech-to-graduating-harvard-architects-6122, I think it is worth a read for several reasons. 1. Chris Anderson is swimming in the TED idea pool so it is interesting to get his view from the pond 2. This is a wel prepared talk 3. Another [...]
Is she really an accountant?
You know how it goes, we hear a person does a particular job and we put them into a box. Not a literal box, but we do stereotype people according to what we think they do in their particular profession. Take the accountant. Want to be stuck in an elevator with an accountant? Probably not. [...]
WEB 3.0 and the Canadian Digital Media Network
The cloud, WEB2.0, twitter, facebook, Netflix, apps, it would seem no matter where you turn our economy and thought process are in some way being directly impacted upon by WEB based technology. The problem with our increasingly WEB influenced social mentality is that the parts that make up the whole of our WEB aided society [...]
