THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO KILL A MOUSE

When stuck looking for a new solution to a persistent problem, look for a novel approach. Here’s an example of collegiate ingenuity.

BEER INDUCED CREATIVITY

The fraternity poker game participants were locked in mortal combat as Tom staggered into the dining room (a.k.a. the poker emporium). Tom was fresh from his self-described part-time job (6 hours of sitting at a nearby tavern letting patrons buy him drinks while he scooped loose change off the bar). He made a few boisterous comments and then disappeared as quickly as he came in. The poker game renewed its heated intensity. Everyone assumed Boston Tom was in dreamland hitting home runs over the Green Monster at his beloved Fenway Park.

About 45 minutes later, a huge glass breaking sound arouse from the kitchen down the hall along with a loud blood curdling chant, “I got him, I got him!” It was Tom celebrating his trophy kill. The poker throng rushed into the kitchen to see an industrial sized jar of peanut butter smashed on the floor. In the gooey brown glass encrusted pile was a dead mouse. The slain rodent had been the bane of the kitchen for several weeks. A problem solved with a truly creative approach.

Tom’s mind, purified by massive quantities of Olde Pub, had conjured up an inventive solution. Since a mouse hole was under the cabinets, Tom’s plan called for an attractive pile of cheddar cheese to tempt the varmint. Then Tom patiently sat in the corner on the cabinet with the gargantuan jar of peanut butter and waited for the mouse to take the bait.

Few people appreciate the stamina that “hops” must provide. Despite his apparent condition when he came home, Tom sat patiently until the rodent went for the tasty snack. Demonstrating an uncanny sense of dexterity, Tom hit his target “dead on” (pardon the pun). The pledges would clean up the untidy mess tomorrow. It was now time for a tribal celebration with the beverage that made it all possible. Cheers!

SOME DO’S AND DONT’S OF THE PROCESS

You’re finally going to do it. You are a born again believer in the benefits of business and strategic planning. To prepare you for the plunge here’s some rules of the road to guide you through the process.

The planning process can be exhilarating, frustrating, enlightening, demanding and a host of other descriptive adjectives. Hopefully you’ll find a nugget or two in these do’s and don’ts that will keep the emphasis on the positives of your unique organizational growth experience. Carpe Diem!

“Plans are nothing; planning is everything.“-Dwight D. Eisenhower

SOME PLANNING DO’S:

• It’s the process that counts! Think verb rather than noun. Bringing your team together, fostering interaction, and forming a climate of mutual interdependence and commitment is the real achievement. The final document is not as important as the process that gets you there.
• Do trust your instincts. You have lived and breathed what your company is all about. Your plan has to feel right in your gut. Contemplative logic and passionate emotion are good tools. Use them both.
• Keep the emphasis on communication. Your planning is the linkage between your future, the team that will take you there and the other stakeholders in your enterprise. It’s the glue that binds it all together and drives performance. Communication is the oxygen for your organization’s future.
• Focus on EXECUTION. Remember, results are what count. The best plan in the world is worthless if it can’t be executed. Unfortunately, they don’t give Pulitzer Prizes for business plans. An executable plan on a napkin is a preferable alternative to an elaborate document that gathers dust.
• Keep it flexible, adaptive and evolving. As Yogi Berra said, “the future ain’t what it used to be”. Your planning should be an ongoing living process that can adapt and change as competitive, technological and social conditions evolve. Keep it dynamic not static.
• Stretch. Challenge your organization to extraordinary achievement. Your plan should inspire, motivate and paint a compelling vision for performance. It should keep everyone’s juices flowing.
• Expect unintended consequences. There’s an old English Proverb that states “every path has its puddle”. Regardless of your collective wisdom, there will be unforeseen ramifications, pro and con. Acknowledge this as part of the planning process.
• Enjoy the process. What a wonderful opportunity to bring together the people you admire to form a compelling future together. Getting a lot done and having a lot of fun. Go for it.

SOME PLANNING DONT’S:

• Don’t delegate responsibility (embrace it). This is one management project you can’t delegate away. As CEO, you have to embrace and champion the process. Leadership goes with the position. Rise to the occasion.
• Don’t get caught in the terminology trap. Planning terminology (vision, mission, strategy, tactics, performance metrics, etc.) can murk things up. It should help your team communicate not hinder them. The challenge is to keep the process understandable to all. It’s not important what you call it as long as it drives team performance.
• Don’t get overwhelmed. Keep it simple. If it seems to complex, then back off. Try to rephrase and simplify the process. A plan doesn’t have to read like “War and Peace” to be effective.
• Don’t look for the perfect plan. Perfection is for the next life. As Patton’s’ law expresses it, “a good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow”.
• Don’t deny the facts. Reality can be harsh, but the sooner you accept it, the sooner it can be addressed. There is a fine line between rationalizing failure and denial of reality. The challenge is to know the difference.
• Don’t get trapped by your plan. The purpose of the plan is guide and drive performance. If it becomes unrealistic don’t continue to follow a bad road map. Change it.
• Don’t do it if you’re not going to use it. Be committed to the process. Your passion must be overwhelming if it’s to be effective. You have the opportunity to develop a culture of performance. Don’t go through the motions if it won’t make a difference.

Food & Design: Trends for Summer, Quinoa

SUMMER TRENDS FOR GRAINS

As a caterer I am constantly looking for the new and interesting ingredients to add in my dishes. One of the most important parts of my presentation to my clients is assure them that I can keep up with current trends. Because of the rise of the health movement in the last few years, more than ever, individuals are looking at the ingredients that comprise their food. Since spring is upon us in the United States, and with summer quickly coming, I have decided to write about several grains that are making their move for pantry space in the average American home.

In my first segment of my discussion, I will talk about Quinoa. I first discovered this grain on a food blog several months ago. Intrigued, I searched for the grain in my local food stores but was at a loss. However, soon this grain popped up in a local Pittsburgh grocer and I immediately started cooking with it.

QUINOA: A HISTORY LESSON
Known for over 6,000 years, Quinoa originated in the Andean region of South America.  In stories from Spanish explorers, Incas used to call quinoa the “mother of all grains” or “chisaya mama”.  Resistant to high-altitudes, it requires cooler temperatures and short day lengths, which explains why Peru and Bolivia are the highest producers of this grain.  Completely unknown to the North American region until the 1980s, two Americans discovered the grain and began cultivating it in Colorado.  Since then, quinoa has had a slow discovery throughout North America.

HEALTH BENEFITS
As a vegetarian, it should be my duty to find the best foods for my body.  But, most days I am just looking to fill a hunger than to really nourish my body.  Normally that means something quick and easy, so I find myself lucky to have found quinoa.  The balanced set of essential amino acids give this grain a high (12 to 18 percent) protein content which deems this grain a “super crop” by the United Nations. This is one of the reasons why vegetarians, as well as campers, love this grain.  Quinoa is lighter than meat and is easier and safer to pack for summer-time trips.

MEDIA COVERAGE
Quinoa started to pop up across the web about a year ago in larger quantities.  Food bloggers were first to show globally how to use and prepare quinoa.  However, in the last few months more and more bloggers are talking about it.  National magazines mention the grain and national television shows explain how to cook with it.  This can be explained with the widely growing health and organic movements that is spreading across the United States.

WHAT TO EXPECT THIS YEAR
This grain will not be as popular as rice or pasta has become stateside.  At least not in the next year or so.  What you will see is smaller restaurants mixing this into their options for side dishes or as a complement to better-known dishes to add a bit of originality, generating interest and new ideas for the preparation of quinoa.  This will, in turn, help grocery stores across the nation fulfill a demand for this product. Then, when I need to find this grain to make as a side dish or to help give a much needed substance to a dish, I can go to a larger chain which I visit more frequently than to a smaller health forward store which I only use for specialty goods.

TIPS TO PREPARE THE GRAIN
Quinoa can be cooked in a similar fashion as common jasmine rice.  A good rule of thumb for the “mother of grains” is a 2-to-1 method, 2 cups of water to 1 cup of quinoa.  After the water has boiled in a 2-quart saucepot, turn down the heat and cover for 15 to 20 minutes to produce a side dish with a unique light, chewy flavor.  Because of the fast cooking period, quinoa is a favorite for a quick and hearty breakfast, especially in the winter.  Since we are nearing the end of winter here in the States, it is also a perfect addition to vegetable salads and cold dishes for the summer picnic.

Product design is a conversation with your audience, why not blog in the same manner?

What do you see?

OUR PERCEPTUAL BIAS

Do you tend to see what you’ve always seen? Do your past experiences prevent you from seeing things from a fresh perspective?

Beware: limited perceptions can create some powerful mind traps. They become subtle tendencies in the way we view the world and can impede our ability to find creative solutions to problems and opportunities.

Let me share a few related stories from Robert Pirsig the author of the philosophical masterpieces Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and Lila.

“For every fact there is an infinity of hypotheses.” -Robert Pirsig

THE PLATYPUS: THE LIMITATION OF CLASSIFICATION

In Lila, Pirsig recalls how early zoologists classified animals who suckled their young as mammals and those that laid eggs as reptiles. This simple split into two possible worlds worked extremely well until someone discovered the humble platypus who laid eggs like a perfectly good reptile but after the eggs hatched, suckled their young just like a perfectly good mammal. The reaction of the scientific community was to describe the platypus as a strange and unusual freak of nature. But the platypus had been laying eggs and suckling their young for millions of years before scientists deemed it illegal. The lesson here is that our classification systems and/or our natural predispositions can be extremely self limiting. Don’t create your own platypus with limited thinking. Be open to more possibilities. As Paul Simon observed, “there are 50 ways to leave your lover” so there are probably a few different ways to view what happens around you.

THE SOUTH INDIAN MONKEY TRAP:

This Pirsig example in Zen, describes how monkeys can be trapped by their own value rigidity. A coconut is hollowed out and chained to a stake. A hole is made on the other end of the coconut and rice is placed inside as bait. The hole is big enough for the monkey to get it’s hand in but small enough that the monkey can’t remove it’s hand when it’s formed a fist around the rice. The monkey has the ability to free itself from the trap at any time by simply letting go of the rice. But the desire for the rice is so strong the monkey traps itself. Does this remind you of any time when customers, suppliers, service providers or even your organization acted in a similar illogical fashion?

Years ago, provocative basketball star Dennis Rodman made a few disparaging remarks about the ability of Larry Bird implying that he had no real talent and was the most over-rated player in the game. When, then Utah Jazz coach Frank Layden was asked about Mr. Rodman’s remark, he replied “we’ve got to get him a better seat because he’s not seeing the same Larry Bird that I am.” Sometimes it’s a good idea to change our seat so we can gain a different perspective.

In summary, our perceptions and their rigidity limit how we view and perform in the world. Keep your eyes flexible and wide open.

It’s better to know a lot and say little, I think, than know little a say a lot.” -Robert Pirsig

MOVEMENT HAS IT’S OWN BENEFITS

“I used to think I was indecisive, but now I’m not so sure.” Does this describe your organization and how it deals with change? One could make a pretty compelling argument that General Motors suffered from this type of malaise for decades. Whether it is too little or too late for GM is certainly up for debate. But you have to respect their recent proactive course of action. The former giant is now in the role of the underdog but at least they are doing something. Commitment and execution are excellent attributes to embrace.

“Indecision may or may not be my problem.” -Jimmy Buffett

I heard a story years ago about a mule that was placed in a field with two equally attractive piles of hay on each side of him. Unable to decide on which heap of nutrition was most attractive, the mule instead died of starvation. Faced with a similar dilemma many a teenage boy has spent his prom night alone because he waited too long to decide which cute girl he wanted to invite. Inaction it seems is not a very productive decision.

Yogi Berra expresses the task well: “When you come to the fork in the road, take it”. Our collective challenge is to do something and do it with commitment. There is a fine line between a healthy analysis of a situation and the fear of making a decision. It’s your call!

Business like life consists of many decisions but that is what gives life its rich and dynamic nature. The process of living is a call to action. Just Do It!

How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom you’re on. -Ballance’s Law of Relativity

law of attraction: responsibility

TO CONTROL…OR TO ALLOW…THAT IS THE QUESTION

For many people who are exploring the achievement of their dreams or goals through the Law of Attraction, one of the biggest struggles seems to arise from, “do I SET time frames” OR “do I ALLOW things to happen?”

Our traditional planning processes are quite explicit about setting a date and time for what we want to see happen, and that, we should also, set dates and times for the steps that will be milestones along the way.

BUT IS THIS THE BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE ALL OUR DREAMS?

One could argue, of course it is…otherwise, how would the athlete be ready for the big competition?…how would the bride be walking down the aisle?…or how would the student be prepared for the big exam?

I work with many people who are engaged in achieving business goals. They tell me that setting a quarterly volume, or activity or a performance goal, can sometimes be more stressful than it is motivating for them. They tell me when they first set the goal, they are excited and optimistic. But if the goal is not achieved, especially, if they fall short of the mark quarter after quarter, they begin to be reluctant to set a new goal. They do not know why it is not working out as they expected. They stress about it and their performance deteriorates even more.

Energy follows thought and emotion.

DOES IT RAISE OR LOWER YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS?

I also have others who tell me they just held a vision of what they wanted to achieve and soon they were inspired by the exciting things that occurred to move them in the direction of their goal. They tucked their goal away in the back of their minds,  just knowing it would happen, but not stressing against it. Before they knew it, the goal they wanted had manifested.

WHAT IF YOU DON’T KNOW… WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW?

What I have learned after almost a decade of practicing the principles of Attraction, is there are some things for which I set dates and times, and others I do not. If I am doing a seminar, of course, we all need to know the date and time, or I would arrive and there would be no one there!

But I no longer sit down and make a schedule for the locations and dates where I want to do sessions. Instead,  I hold an image in my mind of how busy I want to be, and then I have FAITH and TRUST something will come up that will direct me to where I am supposed to be.

Since I have stopped trying to control everything, my outcomes have been much more inspired.

If there is a universal knowledge or wisdom about which I have no understanding, why would I attempt to work against it? Lets say I decide I want to deliver a seminar in Vancouver in April…but what if there are circumstances lining up that would create an opportunity for me to participate in an equally or even more exciting location…maybe I get a chance to deliver a session in Australia!

Instead, I visualize possible places I would like to be, then I trust this thought process, or encoding, will set the wheels in motion as long as I am attentive, open and positive about the outcomes.

It may happen immediately, because things are aligned and ready for me to be in that place at that time…or it may not happen for months or even years. However, when I look back on it, I realize it could not possibly have happened sooner. Some things needed to be put in place before it could occur.

Sometimes it is because I needed to make some personal changes before it could occur. If I have put time frames on some of these things, I would have become frustrated and perhaps dropped my dream completely.

FAITH AND TRUST

It is such a fine line between… sitting back and letting my life be other-directed…and, being in the energy flow of my dreams. This is not an easy concept to intellectually grasp, but once you have FELT the difference, you will know explicitly what is meant.

I suggest you try it…set out a dream for yourself, then trust the right things will be brought to you to manifest your dream. Look at a business goal you have previously had a time limit on. Instead, hold the dream and let it happen when things are ready for it to happen. You may be pleasantly surprised to find you were able to accomplish it in less time that you had previously set!

As you go about your day, you will be open to possibilities. When you act on those possibilities, you will delight in the richness of the experience. This is very different from a traditional, linear, planning and executing model for achievement.

BUT IT IS INCREDIBLY EXHILARATING AND ABUNDANT…IT WILL BE MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER HAVE CONCEIVED ON YOUR OWN!

COMPETITORS  SHARPEN YOUR FOCUS

A few years ago I remember watching the on again, off again, on again, launch status of  the space shuttle Discovery over the July 4th holiday. Having grown up in the 60’s I still marvel at each launch and think of the millions of events that take place with each flight.

In recent years it seems NASA has been dealing with an increasingly skeptical public and vocal policy opponents who want to severely limit or eliminate NASA’s future projects.

Maybe I’m in the minority but I’m nostalgic for the excitement, optimism, and commitment that President Kennedy triggered in America in 1961 when he challenged us to land a man on the moon by the end of the decade. What a vision and what a mission! And what an exhilarating time for every citizen of the country to witness and enjoy the patriotic pride of the remarkable progress towards the achievement of that lofty goal in July 1969.

“When you reach for the stars, you may not quite get one, but you won’t come up with a handful of mud either.” -Leo Burnett

WHAT PRECIPITATED KENNEDY’S CALL TO ACTION

But if it wasn’t for a little Soviet satellite called “sputnick” it might never have happened. America was complacent and smug in the 1950’s with our assumed “scientific superiority” over the Russians. Sputnick was a wake-up call of immense proportions. It was our old friend COMPETITION calling us to action. And act we did.

Today, I’m concerned we are in a mood similar to the 50’s. We are not compelled to action because of an increasing complacency and a lack of national conviction for space. The best thing for NASA and the entire space program would be for the Chinese to embark on an aggressive space exploration initiative like a flight to the moon to plant the Chinese flag. Then things would change and in a big way.

The compelling point is not to underestimate the power and value of competition in our organizations and in our lives. Competition simply makes us better and raises the bar of our performance. Just like Annika Sorenstam and Tiger Woods have elevated the games of their golfing peers. That’s what competition does!

Competition is definitely more friend than foe. I remember a story about when Walt Disney would give tours of his operations and during those tours the “story boards” of the projects his cast members were working on were highly visible. When asked about whether he had concerns that Disney’s ideas could be compromised or stolen he chuckled and remarked how his team at Disney could create faster than anyone could copy. How’s that for an attitude towards competition? What’s yours?

COMMUNICATING YOUR VISION: TIMING IS IMPORTANT

When sharing your vision both the content and timing are vital to successful communication. I’d like to share an old story from a different era about one man’s failure to inspire his spouse to a higher level of performance.

MEN AT PLAY ARE NOT ALWAYS INSIGHTFUL

It sure seemed like a good idea. Let’s reward the guys with a home cooked meal. After a full shift (8+ hours) of drinking and carousing, some nourishment was in order. It’s not easy to imbibe for this duration and so the chosen few should be recognized for their feat. So, Joe invited the gang to his house for an early morning treat.
They entered the house with all the decorum of a gaggle of geese in heat. When you’re inebriated, you never sound loud to yourself or your fellow companions. It’s the sober souls that have the overly sensitive ears. Joe and his compadres gathered near the foot of the stairs and Joe called out to his lovely bride upstairs. As she appeared, Joe shared his plan for her to prepare a gourmet feast of bacon, eggs, home fries, toast and coffee for him and his posse of revelers. To Joe’s surprise and astonishment, his bride was not an enthusiastic participant in his vision. In fact, she told him what he could do with his suggestion in very graphic terms.

Joe, leaning on the post for moral support, stood tall in front of his buddies and indignantly responded, What, no Brefass? It’s another little known fact that drinking brings with it a shortened vocabulary. Isn’t brefass more succinct and colorful than breakfast? Doesn’t it convey a certain visual image?

The harsh reality was this “band of brothers” were on their own. No food in this Inn.

Moral: Not Everyone Shares Your Vision! (Know the right time to reveal it.)

Consciousness: inspiration

NOTHING MORE TO SAY

I can only wonder what it will take to melt our hearts…to make us realize our oneness…to make us want to participate in creating a world of love for all.

If the angelic voice of this messenger, and the words of his song do not do it…there seems to be little more to say.

Listen to the juvenile voice of Declan Galbraith from England, as he asks us all for answers to the most important question of all time…

CAN WE BREATHE INTENTION INTO THE FOOD WE EAT?

Across all spiritual groups, there is a ritual of reflecting with gratitude upon the food we are about to eat. It may be the actual reciting of a grace, or just a moment of quiet reflection to add spiritual energy to the food that is about to nourish our bodies.

There are scientific groups in academic institutions like Princeton, Harvard, and Max Plank Institute who are currently studying the power of intention. Much  research is also being conducted by the Institute of Noetic Sciences, along with Lynne McTaggart from London, England, author of The Field.

Now, a great supporter of the Intention research, Jim Walsh, has an exciting new product, Intentional Chocolate, a food to nourish both body and spirit.

Intentional chocolate has been embedded with conscious intention and love, for vigor and well-being by experienced meditators, some of whom have studied with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The chocolate has been exposed to the following intention in its preparation.

“Whoever consumes this chocolate will manifest optimal health and functioning at physical, emotional and mental levels, and, in particular, will enjoy an increased sense of energy, vigor and well-being for the benefit of all beings.”

Dean Radin, senior scientist from the Institute of Noetic Science has conducted research with the products from  Intentional Chocolate and found them to increase vigor, energy and mood by more than 67% when one ounce of Intentional Chocolate was consumed per day for three days. The findings were published in a scientific peer-reviewed journal, “Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing” (October 2007).

The symptoms recorded included decreased stress, increased energy, less fatigue, greater calmness, enhanced focus and improved general well-being.

YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO…

At Intentional Chocolate 50% of net profits are given back to the community for projects that will benefit humanity and for the on-going research into the power of intention.
