We had some fun together.
What did we talk about?
Here are items mentioned during the recent keynote or workshop.
Vistage
Artie Isaac chairs eight groups of peers who meet monthly to challenge and encourage each other. The result? Better leaders, making better decisions, for better outcomes.
Artie’s Creativity Tool
Creativity & Personal Mastery (CPM)
Artie has studying (and served as a teaching assistant) with Srikumar Rao — a global teacher of MBAs and other humans — on the topics that lead to greater focus and less stress.
Wise Humanity
Artie is studying with the Wise Humanity community, led by Elisabeth Sperling and Davide Pagnotta.
One Video, Four Books, Two Poems and a Meditation
Artie imagines Uri Alon’s cell biology laboratory — and how his graduate students feared The Cloud. Here’s the video. (Vistage Chair Joe Faessler said, “Falling into the cloud is not only inevitable, it is ennobling.”) Here is TED talk, Why Truly Innovative Science Demands A Leap Into The Unknown.
