\"\"<\/a>Judy Dubin of the Cramer Institute suggests looking at a meeting as a musical performance of classical music.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Via that lens, the asset-based thinking discussion list’s last conference call for 2009 was a work for guitar, four voices, and keyboards.\u00c2\u00a0 It featured a prelude (Eve and I chatting while waiting for others to show up), three movements titled celebration, brainstorming, and anticipation, and a coda (this post and the ongoing discussions).<\/p>\n

For abtdisc’ers who couldn’t be there in person, here are some of the highlights.<\/p>\n

Whether or not you were there, please share any additional celebration, anticipation, updates, and brainstorming thoughts in the comments … and have a great holiday season, a wonderful end to 2009, and an even better start to 2010!<\/p>\n

Celebration (aka updates)
\n<\/strong><\/strong>
\nEve talked about the session that she, Michael Foster, and Iris Lemmer did for the Pegasus conference.\u00c2\u00a0 She also told how she and a different Michael used ABT techniques from “Change the Way you See Innovation” to wow a state agency into funding the business analysis for his new startup.<\/p>\n

Lori talked about the upcoming release of “Change the way you see sales — for women” and her fabulous 50-50-50-50 project, including a 50-city book tour and her skill as\u00c2\u00a0 a non-profit auctioneer.\u00c2\u00a0 The idea’s taken on a life of its own, with people inspired by the idea to do things related to their own life milestones … such as a woman making a documentary of 50 50-year celebrations. \u00c2\u00a0 Very exciting!<\/p>\n

Mary Alice shared her recent longest gig yet, an hour-long performance with lots of improv in front of her favorite kind of audience.\u00c2\u00a0 Her younger daughter is turning 7 tomorrow, can you believe?\u00c2\u00a0 She’s giving “Change the way you see everything for teens” to her nieces and nephews and precocious nine-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n

I talked about Qworky and the upcoming “Change the Way you See Meetings”.\u00c2\u00a0 By the end of January, we hope to be at the point where we can host ABT meetings.<\/p>\n

Brainstorming

\nWe came up with some great ideas.\u00c2\u00a0 Here are a few highlights:<\/p>\n
