GreyHead thoughts

GreyHead because I've been around a bit - or at least my hair has been grey for many years. Thoughts because my interests are diverse my time divided and what gets posted here is likely to be a patchwork of insights, likes and dislikes.

Like Marco Polo I'm an explorer and trader. I seek out new, fascinating and valuable ideas then bring back my learning to help professional people in transition make sense of the opportunites they have. My explorations and experience allow me to move freely between three overlapping worlds: of business and organisational life, of personal & professional growth, and of technology.

The Workbook Goddess

A week or so back I finished my first teleclass series as a participant. I'm not good on teleclasses, or on auditory learning in general. My attention wanders too easily and I find myself thinking irrelevant (though fascinating) thoughts. Until that is, the teacher asks a question and I hurriedly have to guess what we've been talking about behind my daydream. I didn't wander too much on this teleclass - and I stayed signed up and present until the end (also a small miracle - if I don't get what I want I'll walk).

The subject? Creating work-books.

What's a work-book? - well a book for working on in or through. A structured lesson, or series of lessons that helps you learn something new, concepts, practical skills, whatever.

Why write a work-book? Lots of reasons, but in this case because a friend though it might be interesting and I had a few 'writing' projects around that were going nowhere slowly.

Heidi CostasHow was the course? Excellent. I wasn't too sure what to expect and set my expectations low (you don't get disappointed that way). It wasn't just about writing, Heidi Costas the leader took us through structure, motivation, marketing, just about every aspect that needs to be thought and worked through to create a successful product. and she encouraged us to write, write, write . . .

And so I wrote, wrote, wrote . . . as long as the class lasted that is. Now I justneed the impetus to finish off the last couple of chapters and get the whole thing edited and proof-checked. Maybe in a week-or-two. If not I fear the Workbook Goddess may be sending (very gentle) lightning bolts my way.
