Absolutely love Sticker Mule, they do amazing work!

How to keep an open mind: 1. Think like a scientist: treat your opinions as hypotheses and decisions as experiments 2. Embrace confident humility: argue like you’re right, listen like you’re wrong 3. Build a challenge network: seek out people who sharpen your reasoning

@joinprisma There were a lot of things that Mr. Grant said that were difficult for the audience to hear (challenged their preconceptions, groupthink) but that they NEEDED to hear! I wish there had been more of that. So much excellent advice I’m bringing to our learners!!

@joinprisma Oh and because he’s sure to ask about this, the one thing they could’ve done better tonight: more intellectual challenging on stage! Would’ve loved to see some academically rigorous discussions up there 😍

So special getting to see @AdamMGrant tonight (especially since our Life Skills at @joinprisma is reading Give and Take next session)! Agreed with almost everything he’s said except his mixed feelings about the phrase “great minds think alike.” Here’s why I think he’s wrong!

@JonAcuff I would also add “a useful and memorable framework, personal stories, and humor!” Love referencing your books while teaching my students!

Every book, speech, product I create has 3 things: 1. Deep personal connection. (I have to care about it) 2. Audience need. (Friends, clients, neighbors etc.) 3. Spot for me in the marketplace. (Not overcrowded.)

Flying to Minnesota for the most recent @joinprisma in-person meet up! @EWRairport’s brand new Terminal A is gorgeous, more of these New Jersey pop quizzes please!
