If you think conversation is dead, think again. Promoting the creative art of free-flow, engaging conversation.

@StanWillenbring I don't tend to lool either but was mildly surprised when I saw I was at 311. Now 183. Ho hum.

[Joel | Creating Conversation @creativitypulse]

Wow. I was doing so well gaining followers (over 300). Then it turned sour. Oops. Now at 180..

Not done anything from the usual. Life is truly odd at times...

[Joel | Creating Conversation @creativitypulse]

Then again all those who interact are still with me...thank you for that....it is all about good conversation after all...

3/3 Be prepared for such a reaction and don't let it prevent you from acting.

As German statemsn Konrad Adenauer put it, " A think skin is a gift from God."

Do not fear negative reactions - they mean people are listening and reacting to you. You have them by the...

Use your Shield
New ideas can be threatening, and they often provoke a negative reaction. When the composer Stravinksy first presented his Rites of Spring ballet with its unusual harmonies and primitive rhythms...

2/3 ...he was met with a rioting audience.

Enjoy your weekend.

Guitars, microphones and my kids....yep, that's mine.

It is fun playing at being a rock star.

My wife thinks it is hilarious. She's enjoying it. My kids seem confused seeing dad on Spotify and Apple Music.

Born a rock star?
Or something you can assume as a role?

[Joel | Creating Conversation @creativitypulse]

I have been putting a brand together for my music. I'm 58 and don't want to look like an older dude trying to imitate a teenager.

I reached out to friends. An old girlfriend, "you looked great in suits, act your age, wear one like Bowie did." Sorted.

Drumming can improve kids IQ by 10 points.

That's massive in academic intelligence and potential job, income and life possibilities.

Bang away. Get your kids tapping...

[Joel | Creating Conversation @creativitypulse]

@DebComanWriting Mine never leave!!!

[Joel | Creating Conversation @creativitypulse]

On my 'learn something new' campaign I am progressing my drumming skills.

Everything hurts more than it did. I can only imagine what it is like to practice/ workout as a boxer. Hmm

Maybe next on list - except I have previously broken bones...

What are you learning that's new?

[Joel | Creating Conversation @creativitypulse]

We live in the safest era in human history I read in Rutger Bregman's Humankind last week. Wonderful book btw.

This week the news is nothing but war and the potential for war. I hardly read the news so I thought I'd engage for once. Regretful.

What's going on?

2/2 Others saw the dragons as a sign of opportunity, a door to virgin territory.

Similarly, each of us has a mental map of the world complete with dragons.

Fight your fears and fight you own dragons. Free yourself...

1/2 Creative Strategy #56

Slay a Dragon

Long ago, map makers sketched dragons on maps as a sign to sailors that they would be entering inknown territory at their own risk.

Some sailors took this sign literally and were afraid to venture on.
