Finally found a way to keep up my exercise routine at
the gym and get back into to the habit of stimulating not just body, but
also brain, heart and soul!!!* Simple as logging into You Tube on my smart
phone, putting on the earphones, and letting serendipity do the rest as I
peddle my 10K on the exercise bike. Miss one... miss the other!
A couple of weeks
ago, a trailer for “Mr Turner”, led me digging into the hitherto unknown background of
one of my favourite artists. A press conference in Hollywood, with director, Mike Leigh, and cast in Hollywood, including Timothy Spall, who played a brilliant leading role and explained his
interpretation of Turner’s grunting as follows: “I
think the grunting grew... organically out of this incredible,
instinctive and emotional man who had a zillion things to say but never said
it. So he captured it all in an imploded grunt...He's got this
burning thing inside him, so rather than say it, it's just ghrrm, ghrrm.”
This week, preparation for a
class on the "Ladder of Inference" had me up and down the steps to check to whom
I should attribute the concept, Peter Senge who popularized it in the Fifth
Discipline or Chris Argyris who devoloped the concept with Donald Schon.
In the process, still peddling away at the gym, I enriched myself with a lot of stuff both on and off the subject, but none more exciting for its clarity, simplicity and brevity than Ed Muzio's Whiteboard Videos. No imploding grunts for Ed, who, in his 4-minute crisply produced video clips, free for all on You Tube, is set to put us all out of business... or who knows, will maybe create a lot more for us all? Highly accessible and digestible and a great complement for my CoachingPlus clients who are keen to continue improving their English.
Check this one out: Perceptual Position Resolves Conflicts and see if you can resist going back for more. As amigo Patricio said "Me encanta el poder de lo simple….breve, claro y concreto……viva el HAIKU!!"
* (Yes Stephen, looking down from on high, I often taught your philosophy and finally got round to practicing it)
