Shari Downhill Blog: February 2008
http://sharidownhill.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 6, 2008. Beyond the “Pen”…. Most of us define who we are by what we do. That makes sense to me since that’s the interface we have with others and the world. However, I also realize the two aren’t inextricably linked. “What we do” is only a descriptor, an onramp, an invitation to others to “come into our parlor” and get acquainted with us. So, welcome to my parlor…. What I do…. The last time I remember shedding tears in front of a keyboard was in my “ Beginning Reporting. 8221; class a...

Epiphany Innovation: Free Radicals of Innovation!
http://sharidownhillsbm.blogspot.com/2008/03/free-radicals-of-innovation.html
Sunday, March 16, 2008. Free Radicals of Innovation! I just finished navigating Bob Newhart's. Free Radicals of Innovation. DVD I'll tell ya, after three years and $40K for a Masters degree in Adult Education (which was worth it, I have no doubt.) I'm in a particular good position to say that I think Newhart's Free Radicals. Should be a prerequisite for any Adult Education university program. Newhart is currently the director of the Oregon Innovation Center. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://sharidownhill.blogspot.com/2010/08/platform-resolutions-for-writers-2010.html
Thursday, August 26, 2010. Platform Resolutions for Writers 2010. Before writers establish an author platform, they typically establish a writer platform. Over the past decade, thousands of writers have parlayed established influence into traditional book deals. Landing a traditional book deal is still an effective way to exponentially increase your credibility and visibility. 1 Develop a platform topic that you love and can work on tirelessly for the next few years. Your passion of the moment should...

Shari Downhill Blog: May 2010

Friday, May 21, 2010. Where have you gone Dr. Seuss? Four words that rankle me…“There is no hope.”. Too many people; Too much pollution; Not enough time; Too much greed; Too much…Too little…Too much…Too little…On and on like a pendulum it goes. Oh Dr Seuss, where are you when I need you? 8220; Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple. 8221; Seuss chortles in my ear. Then something happens to get my attention, to pull me out of my early morning depressed stupor. In my face. I...

Shari Downhill Blog: December 2008
http://sharidownhill.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 20, 2008. A Critique of Keynesian Economics. Can I just say right now that I adore John Nash? I'm embarrassed to say that before I watched "A Beautiful Mind". I had no idea who Nash was. And, until our current recessionary woes, I also had never heard of Keynesian Economics. Well, I have now. The following is an excerpt from a piece (presentation, class materials, etc.) Nash has on file via his faculty website at Princeton. Of financial enterprises domestic to the state. It is difficul...

http://sharidownhillsbm.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 14, 2008. And the crowd goes WILD! With such an extended absence it would be a fair question to ask Do innovative epiphanies really take so long to manifest? Not at all. I'm back at the page (blog) with a lot of incredible thoughts and resources forthcoming in the world of Innovation. As with any new resource or idea, it's taken me sometime to fully realize the potential of LinkedIn. An internet-based networking system. I received an invitation to LinkedIn. To be the specialized interest...

Sunday, May 2, 2010. Withholding judgment Finding Solutions to Teenage Bullying. The case of a bullied teenage girl who took her own life has grabbed attention across the U.S. South Hadley has become a fish bowl with thousands of harpoon pointing fingers demanding retribution – fingers pointing away from the only real solution.

Epiphany Innovation: The Way Home
http://sharidownhillsbm.blogspot.com/2010/05/way-home.html
Saturday, May 22, 2010. T took me almost five decades to realize that Hallmark has Mothers Day all wrong. Wrong It’s not just about mothers. From today forward I declare Mothers Day as a day to recognize Mothering in all forms. Don’t get me wrong, honoring the women who gave birth to us, kept us clean, fed and protected, schooled, and alive through our teenage years, stood by us through our 20s, 30s and on is something we should attend to daily. But Mothers Day should be bigger than that. My children hav...
