Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

Thank you for the wonderful comment on my Five Things post! I love KMM, and it's nice to get to know you all a little better. I can't wait to see what Easton says! I am a big fan of his, as well.

Thanks for stopping by Diane, and thanks for the great site you host! Since I am working in Ireland this month, I did not send email to folks to tell them they are tagged and I am depending on people checking their links:-)

It was fun to write five things important to me -- and to read what others holds as dear.

Interestingly - because of the barin is wired and works best -- their 5 key areas would likely change had I written the post next week:-)

Nevertheless, lots would also remain constant as we hold parts of our lives dearer than other parts. These parts include both our strentgths and weaknesses - but they tend to make us who we are.

If you were to scan and hone your five traits ... into five words ... that best showcase the real you -- what would those 5 words be?

Hello there Ellen, congratulation on an excellent blog, I am a big fa, :-)
I have been studying hypnotherapy for years (a passion that never ends) and I am really enjoying your thoughts.

thank you for sharing

Great to hear of your interest in this area and to meet you Melinda. Thanks for your comments and for stopping by. Since your address indicated Moveable Type I was wondering how to add the code for the 2000 bloggers so their image would show. Mine shuts down before it's in:-) Any ideas?

Hi Ellen,

Great post! I love hearing about people and their passions and where it takes them. I'm with you about diversity training. I haven't traveled as much, but through adoption and extended family have many experiences.

Your blog is great! I always enjoy reading, but don't always take the time to comment.

You could check my blog and follow the link for the mini-version of 2000 bloggers. Doesn't seem to take as much time to load, etc. I use TypePad and have been able to copy and paste.

Hello Ellen:

Thank you for tagging me. It's very humbling for me to know that I inspire you. I'm grateful that you are benefiting. My take is that you are reaping a small portion of what you've already given based on what I've learnt and the inspiration that I've gained in the year or so that I've been reading your blog. Your follow up points in the comments about unchanging and variable aspects of the 5 things is a real gem, as is the follow on about 5 crisp adjectives. I've written my 5 things post and subtitled it "The art of emotionally intelligent tagging." I've learnt that the spin off from writing this is that the act of sharing more about myself deepens my intrapersonal intelligence. In other words, I believe, that, even though I didn't set out to gain, the process of sharing is good for me and is personally helpful.

I wonder what others think?

Thanks Sandy, you gave me hope to get that image in and I'll try one more time:-)Love the tips on your site!

Galba, I look forward to reading that blog! You have so much to teach us all about the intrapersonal - emotional sides of intelligence.

You didnt tag me but I thought what the hay...i will tell you five things about me you don't know.

1. I married someone way smarter than me.
2. I spent an afternoon with Ike Eisenhower and asked him the dumbest questions quite possibly he was ever asked.
3. I know someone who is best friends with, and works with, the sexiest man on the planet, Matthew McConaughey.
4. I think Mike Vance, the ex head of creativity at Disney, is about the most inspiring guy around. One day on vacation on Marco Island, up early and on the dock just hanging around. Mike just walked past...
5. I really enjoy your blog. Makes me feel smarter having found it.

Dr. Ellen, your 5 points were of interest. I have spent a lot of time in Montereal, so McGill is well known to me, I also have been to Ireland and had a great time. Iwas tagged and responded on 12-31.

Thanks GL and Jim, It's fun to hear from friends at home while working abroad. I also enjoyed getting to know you through the 5 points of interest - which adds a great face to blogging friends.

OH, life's full. Way behind on blog reading. Great post on your five things we didn't know about you. Nova Scotia ... beautiful place. Was there twenty five years ago for a day. Always wanted to go back there and to PEI. Someday. You must like cold weather. Nova Scotia, Toronto, Alaska, New York. Its been 17-18 in the mornings here the past week. I'm loving it, and everyone is complaining. Too cold. I think 20 is just right, as long as a there is some snow in the air and little wind. Enjoy your stay in Ireland. Thanks for keeping the tagging going.
