The Ultimate Project - Answering Why I do what I do?

She had for a long time been thinking that the skills that she wanted for the most part to develop was Project Management. So she could in her professional life, coordinate projects and achieve the ultimate goal of completing one.
We quickly realise that what she actually needs is to develop the skills and abilities to focus her energy in accomplishing her personal goals.
She had so many different interests that every time she set herself up with one goal, she found herself distracted with more interesting things to pursue.
Her creative energy was so powerful that she could not indeed build upon it to create lasting impression on herself and others.

Why?

This is the main question to answer until then, any other attempt to develop project management skills will be lost in the vacuum of distraction. Answering the question is a project in itself.
Good luck with it we said to her, you may be able soon to control your mind.

How might we inspire young people to cultivate their Creative Confidence

Tom and David Kelly asked on Open Ideo how might we inspire young people to cultivate their creative confidence. This was my answer As young children, we are all creative. We draw sing, build, and dream. Life is Easy. All we need is food (or fuel) and a space to express ourself and more significantly time to be with ourself. Yet somewhere along the way, we get lost and make life a little harder for ourself because we think with our head and eyes rather than with our heart .  Maybe we forgot the simple act of  breathing or  The joy of being  playing with our friends and  the sweet sound of laughing,  the meaning of freedom,  closing our eyes and sleeping in the middle of the afternoon with no feeling of guilt I do believe creative confidence develop itself through renunciation of the high perception we have of ourselves in the eyes of others. Renunciation is an expression of creativity. Creativity and innovation is an act of renun...

Are we good friend?

A friend came to visit. She brought flowers and a card. Inside the card, she wrote that I was an amazing friend. To her, at least. It is normal to question yourself on the quality of your friendship and whether or not  you are a good friend to other people, are you doing enough to engage, support, celebrate others when they go through major transition? How much more can you do while racing through life, its responsibilities and distractions? A good tool to use for reflection is the theory of attachment to understand yourself and how your type of attachement impact on the quality of relationships. Have a look and let me know what you think?

Home Energy, Footpaths Challenge

I have taken upon the challenge to write every week over 5 weeks a small article on my journey in reducing my carbon footprint. Footpaths, a community carbon reduction initiative in Leicester called for challengers and I responded to the call. As I looked upon my computer screen, I wondered what I possibly could write about. I completed the Footpaths 8 week session last year. Since then, I got myself a bicycle, I am travelling to work back and forth on it, offered one to my partner for Christmas, produced a lot more vegetarian meals but yet have to convince meat eaters at home, controlled a lot better my finances and got out of debt, open a bank account with an ethical bank, engage myself in reducing clutter and started to buy food from an organic cooperative. There are still things that I need to do. There always things that need to be done. Sometimes, I just do not want to look upon this particular list of things to do. My main hurdle is Home Energy. We all know home are at the centr...
