Place Making

Artplace

I recently presented and moderated a panel for Art Place Summit 2016 The conversation was focused around craft and culinary as place making models. I had the pleasure of working with Deacon Stone of Coalfield Development Corp and Reclaim Appalachia  who is doing absolutely amazing work in West Virginia Appalachia country and with Nancy Halpern Ibrahim of the Esperanza Community Development Corp and Mercado La Paloma, she is an amazing spirit doing brilliant work in South Central Los Angeles.

Craft and food along with Culture and Community creates a ripe environment for celebration. With the attendees we create cross community celebrations and had great discussions!!

Setting Goals #startupgrind

This month the Laboratory5 group coaching call focused on goals. I am sitting at my desk today streaming Global Conference Live Stream Start Up Grind. The conversation between Marc Andreessen and Clayton Christensen was fascinating and it reminds be that the link to accomplishing goals is commitment and intention. Clayton Christensen ended with a story about being true to your word and stick to doing what you said you would do because:

“It’s easier to hold to our principles 100% of the time than 98% of the time”

  • Clayton Christensen

So if we have big goals but we aren’t 100% committed then what is our percentage of accomplishing them? I also wanted to share a link that was tweeted over It is 10 goals every entrepreneur should set themselves for 2016
