HOW TO HAVE MIND BLOWING, ENGAGING & ENERGIZING MEETINGS: From Boring to Interesting & effective using radiant thinking

About HOW TO HAVE MIND BLOWING, ENGAGING & ENERGIZING MEETINGS: From Boring to Interesting & effective using radiant thinking

Meetings, like friction, are a necessary evil for every organization. Quite commonly heard in organizations are comments like – “ I love the sleep inducing effect of our meets” or “It is surely death by meetings for us” or “We need more action and not more meetings” or “Where is the meeting headed?” or “Our meetings suck!” – and the list is endless.

Even if you hate them, you cannot escape them in an organizational set up. Imagine, however, if you could literally transform your meetings to become more engaging, energizing and effective. And that too using the simple yet powerful and proven techniques of radiant and visual thinking via Mind Maps.

Challenges exist in all organizations but many a time the top management looks entirely outside for solutions and in the process undermines or overlooks the creative potential of the company’s internal resources. Failed internal meetings around challenges, problem solving and more, are taken as added proof by the management of the inability of their resources to solve complex problems. Nothing can be further from the truth!

Every meeting provides an opportunity to harness the unique creativity of participants as also the collective intelligence of the team. And an organization, which fails to do so is losing a golden opportunity to transform itself positively. Meetings fail or remain ineffective when individuals are unaware about simple brain friendly techniques to tap the full creative potential of the participants and this is where my Book offers to guide you.

Using the simple steps indicated in the Book, backed by real life examples, you can transform your meetings around the following topics and more:

• Goals setting
• Decision making
• Communication
• Planning
• Sales & marketing
• Project management
• Innovation
The Book includes around 20 plus ready to use templates on the aforementioned topics, which you can immediately put to use for your meetings. And once you have learnt how to apply radiant thinking, it would be very easy for you to extend it to any area of your work. This is a ready blueprint for you to usher in positive change in your organization.

The Meet-Cute

About The Meet-Cute

I love Meet-Cute stories, among my favorites are Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail, and It Happened One Night. I’m sure you have your favorites. Well, you are in for a treat. This novel is full of meet-cutes.
Sierra is a Ph.D. candidate and TA in Sociology and is obsessed with the Meet-Cute in real life. She wants to explore examples and see if they jive with Hollywood’s version for her dissertation. Her handsome professor and mentor stands in the way. He thinks the subject isn’t real, doesn’t do justice to her genius, and diminishes her ability to contribute something meaningful. Not only that, she wants to insert herself into the experiments by forcing meet-cutes. A big no-no. But Sierra is obsessed, she always has been as she has a touch of autism. Her genius is not unlike Extraordinary Attorney Woo [NetFlix] with her photographic memory and odd habits.
It’s hard to say no to a gorgeous, exotic force of nature who acts like a robot, that is, with no other interest except her Ph.D. He won’t let her extreme beauty cloud his judgment. Besides he still mourns the loss of his wife, and let’s face it, she fights him like hell on every sociological issue and she’s usually right, for God’s sake.

You, the reader and lover of meet-cutes know the answer to this problem.

Fixin’ Vixen by Cat Collins

About Fixin’ Vixen by Cat Collins

I was sent to the Holidays Inn (not that one) to “chillax” by none other than Santa. I wouldn’t have needed the forced vacation if my ex Rudy, had kept his nose out of his ex’s Clare’s p—ockets. Her pockets.

Because he’s a dirtbag, I’m here biding my time until I “get my Christmas spirit back.” Santa, however, isn’t content to let me sip holiday drinks by the fire. Nope. He designed some ridiculous games for the guests at the inn. Now I’m stuck on a team with a yeti, Jack Frost, and the North Pole’s sexiest elf.

We have to do a challenge per day for the next twelve days. If I don’t participate and become all Christmasy again, I’ll be kicked off Santa’s fleet for good. What would a reindeer shifter do then? Open an online store and sell knitted tissue box cozies? (Ahem, that’s what Clare does.)

I have no choice, so I’ll play Santa’s reindeer games. But I don’t know how I’ll win. My teammates are distracting. All of them—yep, I said all—are trying to get me under the mistletoe, if you know what I mean. Each of them has something special I’d like to explore, but having a man in my life is what got me here in the first place. Now there are three?
Ho, ho, and ho.

I know one thing for sure: I definitely want to take back that Best Boss Ever mug I got Santa for Christmas.

This is a steamy romance for mature readers where the main female character, er, reindeer will end up with more than one love interest. If that sounds naughty and/or nice to you, grab you a cup of hot chocolate, cozy up to the fire, and enjoy this spicy spin on Christmas. It might remind you of a beloved classic, but rest assured, this is not that tale.
