Winning the Story Wars - The Hero's Journey (2012) Finding Joe.
Rise of the Innerpreneur. I like to write about our Values, our Worldviews, and the Subcultures we inhabit — but I don’t think I’ve ever clearly explained why, have I? Maybe I’ve never written about it clearly before because it hasn’t been clear to me why it really matters until now. Having knowledge about these topics is a business owner’s secret weapon. For they determine what and why we buy. They’re psychographics and they explore an individual’s concepts of the world they live in. Demographics don’t have a chance against these bad boys. We use a lot of words every day. For that reason, I feel like I always liked definitions as I often find myself asking, “yes, but what does that word really mean?” Values are what’s important in your life (your life priorities).
You live your values. Your “individual character” is built around your deeply held values and the meanings and worldviews associated with them. Your worldview can be your pain and it can be your peace. Dr. Photo credit: illuminaut. TEDxAsheville - John Miles - Happiness in Business and Innerpreneurship. Once Upon a School. Once Upon a School is an initiative that Dave Eggers, the TED team, and 826 National developed after Dave received the 2008 TED Prize and was given one wish to change the world. TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is known worldwide for its conferences, the exemplary TED talks it shares online at www.ted.com, and the people and causes it champions through its annual TED Prize.
Dave's wish was to gather stories of private citizens engaged in their local schools so that people everywhere could share the details of their efforts in schools and be inspired by the work being done by others. Stories have poured in from people around the world and the impact of their work, captured here thanks to TED and others, continues to be felt in communities near and far. Below are stories about how all kinds of people - from celebrities to retired journalists - are doing their part to improve their local schools. We hope they will inspire you to get involved with schools in your own communities. RSA Animate - Changing Education Paradigms.
