		<title>Affect Redux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thinking About Feeling I recently learned something about affect from a counselor I met at a networking event.  Just to be clear, we were using the word &#8220;affect&#8221; to describe the signs of feeling in a person&#8217;s face (or body) rather than about the feeling itself. The counselor (let&#8217;s call her Jane) told me that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Real-time search, noisiness and influence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a really fascinating post over at TechCrunch today by Mary Hodder, someone who&#8217;s been working in &#8216;live search&#8217; &#8211; what we now call the real-time web &#8211; for some time. The article&#8217;s definitely worth reading in its entirety, but I wanted to highlight some of the difficulties with real-time conversations that she mentions. A [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cause and Affect</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why Should Businesses Pay Attention to Social Media? I was at a workshop today held by Women Unlimited. It was for beginners at social media, and I wanted to see what business people tend to know. Then I can know better how to help them. A seasoned marketing professional piped up that she&#8217;d never get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting the Feel of It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How can you increase your business IQ by getting to the heart of daily financial matters? Emotional Reactions and Business Decisions Business etiquette does not favor evidence of feeling. It&#8217;s as though emotional reactions signify a lack of control &#8212; and therefore cloud our ability to identify, consider, or present the truth. Those who seem [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brand Guru Emma Gilding on Customer Communities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back to the &#8220;C&#8221; Word I recently interviewed Emma Gilding, an anthropologist and brand guru based in NY. Emma&#8217;s current group, Insite, at Omnicom, sees brand as more than just another sales tool. Instead, the focus is on the ways in which brand encourages citizenship. Or doesn&#8217;t. “Citizens opt into a brand&#8217;s rules and regulations [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alternative funding models</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve seen a bit of discussion about funding models recently, and have been playing around with an interesting experiment in crowdsourcing products called quirky. For creative or product-focused businesses, it seems crowdfunding is really taking off as a concept, though I’ve yet to hear much in the way of actual success stories. The idea’s fairly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Innovative Thinking: Working Toward a Sustainable Solution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I talked to business leaders across contexts for over three years about how they could identify a talented learner.  This sample included prominent educators, psychologists, small business owners, parents, and corporate giants.  The results I published in the last post. So if international leaders &#8212; from primary school teachers to CEOs &#8212; want to develop [...]]]></description>

		<title>When the sun shines&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[…entrepreneurs find any excuse to work outdoors instead of indoors. If only a laptop existed that wasn’t entirely unusable in a bit of sun, with an infinite battery, and with the ability to pick up WiFi signals from the middle of the Meadows. Fortunately, I’ve been doing a lot of planning lately, and planning is [...]]]></description>

The Problem is how to remain an artist once (s)he grows up. &#8211;Pablo Picasso Continuing from the last few posts: What about the relationship between observation and analysis &#8212; the space between sight and insight &#8212; demands attention for successful business practice? Executives are not the only ones who are [...]]]></description>
