In the Art of Possibility Chapter 9 lighting the Spark stuck with me this week. I like the idea of enrolling people into your enthusiasm. This chapter inspired me to purchase the book for the teacher I worked with during my Action Research Project. She was excited to read it during summer break…and I thought wouldn’t it be great if it helped her in some way to see all the possibilities that pass through her classroom each semester. During my visit there was a lot of forgetting Rule Number 6, and seeing scarcity instead of abundance…not only from her, but also from myself…so I had thoughts about the possibilities of sharing the book. The section about doing things in person was good for me to read as well…Sometimes I try to do to many things from distance communication. When I was trying to secure a classroom to do my ARP in I emailed a lot, and called…but then I showed up…and it seemed like after I met people in person things just took off from there. This is a great read, just to remind us to look up and stay open.
I too was inspired to purchase this book for one of my critical friends. She is a definite reader and is about to take a trip with her grandson who is an artist, I perceived this book to be a good read for her trip. Needless to say she has divulged into reading and has interesting metaphors and cliches to say that are over the top positive! Also, there is so much truth spoken about one on one communication -- especially when you do not know your audience. That’s how I feel when performing. I need to be up close and personal with my audience. The energy/vibes I receive are paramount in what I can give in return. The possibilities are open.
