The Edison Spirit Lives On

I colleague of mine just launch her first book "Innovate Like Edison", Sarah Miller Caldicott, one of the co-authors - along with Michael Gelb, have created a fantastic book that outlines 12 competencies that Edison possessed. These competencies which are outlined in this book are right on target with how any entrepreneur should run their business operations. One quality that Edison possessed that I think we as Americans are afraid of is failure. Edison felt that if he wasn't failing at something he wasn't trying hard enough.

I know sometimes this requires developing a thick skin but in order to really learn how to progress as a person or organization, as long as you learn from your failures and move on to improvement you will achieve great things.

This blog will continue to be a playground for our latest projects and we hope to continue to progress in our efforts to uncover new and creative ways to develop practical and exciting learning activities to our customers.
