About

Some grins, laughs, & lots of thanks. What else? a personal, political, financial take down plus social media in DC. And Fiscal Tickle video!

Jonny reliably makes for fun conversation.

A few German tourists pleasantly caught me off guard during their impromptu photo in DC.

It was a great first planning session for She’s Geeky (East) tonight at Care2!

And afterward, Jess and I discussed ways to capture audio interviews by using Utterz. She shared a fantastic success.

Jonny Goldstein guided me today through a useful exercise called visual facilitation. Some folks put this in the same category as mind mapping.

    What I gained from it:

  • even though it’s another tool for project planning, the color and graphic interpretation stimulated my thinking in ways that checklists or Basecamp features do not; Jonny’s manner of questioning and think-outside-the-box approach added clarity and depth to the exchange.
  • externalizing all the projects - professional and personal responsibilities alike - helped to clarify intersections of time and creative needs.

I liked this process a lot.

    Jonny and I created (2) visual poster boards:

  • one focused on my mobile DNC coverage this August;
  • and the other focused on an overview of current life goals and needs chunked into larger subject groups like “public speaking gigs”, “domestic/household needs”, or “Friday Fiscal Tickle video series.”

He offered a more colorful and thorough description of his visual facilitation style when our session ended.

Adam broadcasts daily from Prague with international insight and flare via Utterz.

Utterz audio plus some great multi-media replies:
And recently, he asked the Utterz community if and what churns their affinity for chocolate. His detailed, vibrant description of his personal relationship with chocolate can’t be beat.
