Ripple Opportunity at SXSW

Hello my fellow community of Ripplers! For those of you lucky enough to be in Austin attending SXSW remember there is no better opportunity to put the Ripple to work for you. There is such a diverse and amazing grouping of people that stepping outside your box to connect could really open up some interesting new connections for yourself. I know it already has for me!

Even if you aren't officially attending SXSW that shouldn't stop you from coming downtown and just walking around and striking up conversations. There is literally thousands of opportunities to meet people whether over a beer at the local draught house (pub) or alas..my favorite, ordering that double no foam caffeine fix you like so much at Starbucks! The streets are litered with all sorts of cool people and it requires very little effort to strike up a conversation and do some Rippling.

So what are you waiting for? Come on down and put the power of what you have learned at The 8 Minute Ripple to work for you!

Ripple On!!!

"I teach this..."

In his blog post from February 27, Steve references a great Robin Williams line from the movie "Good Will Hunting": "I teach this s**t, I didn't say I know how to do it."

Yep, I’ve been there, too.

It almost felt like that kind of an experience at a coaching gig, this last week in the Seattle, Washington area. There I was, the subject matter expert, and lo and behold… well, I believe the participants in the training taught me as much, if not more, than I taught them.

It’s being willing to live, being willing to act on, a Ripple-centric life that keeps me from staying there in that “I didn't say I know how to do it” place... keeps me from not knowing “how to do it.”

Whatever “it” may be.

It’s because people truly are an Unbelievable Treasure Chest of Oppertuinty. When I get out of my own head long enough to see, and experience, the wonder being gifted to me through the light of others, I discover I am being enriched beyond any expected measure.

Thus, I am stretched as I learn and grow... lifelong-learning as I get further along the path to knowing “how to do it.”

Thank you to one-and-all who have directly, and indirectly, been a Treasure Chest for me.

I humbly offer you the same in return.
