It sounds like I missed out on a lot of valuable information. I have never even heard of Friend-Splitting on Facebook before.

We so often forget what our ancestors have done for us and our responsibilities to the Human's future, not just our immediate family. It really is a continuation. I used to think that we have to do something big but now I realized that each one of us contribute in its own way. It doesn't matter how small it is but it's the cumulative efforts that make the world it is today. Hi Chris:

It's not Hollywood, that's for sure, but the bonds formed between warriors is very powerful. So much so that it makes it very difficult to step back from that. But some soldiers do!

I think on Q, there was an interview with author, Sebastian Junger who had been hanging out with a platoon of solders serving in Afghanistan. He has written a book in the experiences and the motivations of the solders. It was very interesting and fits with your thoughts on the limited frame from that point of view. I'm sure you can find more info on-line. K Thanks Chris, This reminds me of an interview I heard the other day on CBC.

One of his theories is that we tend to do the less brain-draining work (deleteing emails, scheduling meetings) first but in actuality, because of the way our brain works, we would be more effective to do our most demanding creative work first. He also discusses the importance of practicing mindfulness in making us much more effective at work. His most popular book is called: Your Brain at Work. Brain food for thought. Thanks for the info.

As a participant and a speaker I got to experience the best of both worlds. How have you carried on the conversations within your business? I want to share with you what has been buzzing around since last week's presentation... Some of the questions that arose after the presentation were around the GenY and Mellenials and philanthropy. I am working with a few individuals and family businesses on creating some programs specific for sharing with, and learning from, the next generation of givers. Members of my team will be blogging about how this evolves - tapping into this otherwise untapped resource of knowledge and experience. Funder-Agency Dialogue... Managing expectations: For those who are interested tomorrow there will be a webinar (http://www.dexterityconsulting.ca/Dexterity_Consulting_Workshops) on funder-agency relationships and accountability agreements. While this is just a high-level discussion, participants will leave with some things to ponder as they enter into this new-era of philanthropy. It was great seeing you at TEDx. Thanks for keeping the conversation going!!! Cheers, Gena Hi Chris;
