I'm a writer. I like having original ideas. But there is something very powerful about seeing my thoughts mirrored in someone else's words. What's even more fun is when that mirror is someone from a completely different field.
Tom Asacker is a business branding expert who sees things a little different than most. When I read his blog this morning, I felt like I was reading my own thoughts:
"Many people call what I do "motivational speaking." I don't really see it that way. Instead of trying to motivate an audience to act, my goal is to transform the way people see, feel and think, through the creative delivery of new ideas. Lasting change requires a new mindset.... In my mind, there is nothing more motivating than having a clear understanding of today's world and how we can use our inherent assets and talents to be a force for improvement and for people's happiness." (Read Tom's complete posting.)
My sentiments exactly. I've been accused of expecting too much, but I absolutely think its all about transformation - the big revelatory kind and, much more powerful, the kind made up of tiny changes in the way we think, perceive and engage with the world around us. That is worth talking about.
