We want to take a moment to appreciate Todd Siler of Think Like a Genius for his facilitation of a live 3-D modeling lab for tAL participants! After a brief presentation about the history, philosophy, and practice of Think Like a Genius we literally dove into bags of modeling clay, tongue depressors, colorful pipe cleaners, photos, and styrofoam balls to create dynamic visual installations of how we feel when we are in our element and engaged in our passions/projects. Ideas bounced, sparks flew, and time stopped! Once our models were ready, each presented his/her model and received feedback and questions from Todd and the group, which deepened the experience even further.
And another thank you to Todd’s partners Eric Siler and Scott Perlman for their contributions to making this Abundance League meeting one to remember!
Warmly,
Susan (+Taj)

I had a great with you Todd: the introduction to metaphorming gave me the sense that this was a lot more than a simple modeling activity; when you showed us a picture of how executives from two different companies modeled their $5 Billion merger with magazine clippings, string, and pipe cleaners … that was amazing. Creating my model helped me get a clearer picture of how I see my role in the world right now, how my passion for social networking fits into my daily activities.
