When we recognize and foster the unity of these two selves, we are more focused and confident. The Pebble and the Canyon will: Help you awaken each morning anticipating what you are creating, rather than worrying about what you fear; Support you through life's rough and unpredictable changes, including those of career, divorce, and grief; Assist you in finding your niche, and thus your sense of purpose, and passion; Suggest ways to fire your imagination with creative thoughts; Improve your health through practices that reduce stress and encourage healing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's the 9th of August 1990. The sky is clear, and the view from Mount Agassiz East Ridge in Utah's High Uintah Mountains is stunning, several lake-filled basins were in full view. Suddenly the air explodes. A bolt of lightning struck Layne Oliver in the back of the head, hurtling him twenty feet down the two hundred-foot cliff face of Agassiz's East Ridge. Pebble in a Pond is about the ripples, "good and bad," created by the decisions we make, the actions we take, even the words we say. The day Layne was struck by the lightning bolt he went against his own rule of always following his gut instinct and didn't leave the area. His life seemed to have always been full of struggle. Reflecting back, he realized that each challenge prepared him for the next one, that there were always good things to learn from the bad experiences. Life is full of challenges; however, you gotta have a reason to survive that is more powerful than the reasons you may have to give up.

Download or read book Once Upon an Innovation written by Jean Storlie and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. -Albert Einstein Since the early 2000s, business storytelling has become a widely accepted strategy for companies around the world. Stories are harnessed in advertising, marketing, PR, and even leadership and culture development. Now for the first time ever, Once Upon an Innovation builds upon these practices and applies story techniques to creative problem solving and innovation. Stories light up the imagination, fostering the creative collaboration necessary to inspire, develop, and commercialize winning ideas. Stories also trigger the brain to release oxytocin, the trust and empathy hormone, making them a powerful tool for understanding and addressing users' needs. This also means that storytelling methods can be applied to the other half of the battle-getting others on board with new ideas as they move through the various checkpoints in an organization. This easy-to-read, how to guidebook provides story-based strategies and tools to: * generate rich and meaningful ideas. * rally stakeholders and a team around a vision. * gain empathy for user and insights into users. * bring formative ideas to life for testing and prototyping. - develop storytelling skills to persuade and inspire others. With an engaging balance of anecdotes, theories, and tools, Jean Storlie and Mimi Sherlock take their combined 50+ years of experience to illustrate how storytelling can be applied to accelerate innovation and lead change. Gather around the campfire-your story starts now.

Download or read book The Pebble Poems written by Jr. Val Villarreal and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pebble Poems is a fantasy trip through drought, like the one we find ourselves embedded in today; this trip makes things concrete, simple and conspicuous, it takes us from the edges of consolation and timid frailty into the boundaries of the decision-making process. Mind you, all this is not as cemented as we would like for, as the poems themselves 'tell us', most of these things are too easily said and done. This is a push for, and not against, love. Granted, setting the world on fire in this day and age is a crazy notion, a crazy business, but somebody's got to do it; and this should fall to each and everyone of us. These poems are personal nuggets, if you will, pebbles of the mind, settled pieces (or not) to travel by; the 'pebble' in the title of the book hails back to those cobblestone roads of ages past. Let us say that what was said was unsaid; Let us seek its trail through a dusty road in the Allegheny wood, And learn from its vibrant edginess; Tantalizing is the view, muffled in greatness, In momentary stratospheric turmoil bound and held..., Excerpt from the poem "Where is the elemental say of the thing in the thing said?"...
