Innovation - Ways to Reinvent Yourself

BONUS POST

Change is among us and innovation is usually taken in view with regards to new inventions, new technologies, new trends, etc. Each of which is external to us all.

I thought I would take a step back in topics from the usual thought process about innovation and express a novel concept of a different context for innovation and that is, Ways to Reinvent Ourselves.

Seth Godin says now--right now--is the best time to transform your life

... and then goes on to provide how. How? Start by doing work that matters. He then provides seven levers that are available and they are much different than what I would have typically thought of, but basically they are:

1.) connect (use social and/or digital media)
2.) be generous (sort of a pay-it-forward idea)
3.) make art (create something new, risks lead to reward)
4.) acknowledge the lizard (our prehistoric brain stem = resistance)
5.) ship (market, getter done, make it happen with outcome)
6.) fail (develop ability to take failure with grace)
7.) learn (cornerstone to it all, school-as-event mindset, school is NOW)

.....something to think about...
