Although A Small Group is currently based in Cincinnati, Ohio, we have friends and fellow community members in Dayton, Columbus, Indianapolis and many other places. Regardless of your location, we invite you to join us. Please tell us a little about your community (or country, for that matter!).

my, let me rephrase, "our" community needs to learn how to listen, engage better, educate themselves regarding issues that they may not even be aware that are affecting their inflictions and side effects on them (well, 'us'), perhaps a big community hug is in order, some good old fashioned personal interaction needs inspired, some fuel or enthusiasm is the medicine we all need, humble grace, truth, asking the right questions to folks who will do something besides react like a drone, ... are just a few things our community needs, or I desire for it anyways : )

What is your work? -- NOTE: all of these Q's may be updated any time and may be as brief or as long as you wish.

What originally brought you to A Small Group? What brought you to this ASG site?

I met Peter Block from Art Shriberg, and working with him on his book and other projects, as well as being 'community driven', invited by Randy Weeks, and meeting other folks while creating our own 'Community Conversations' who feel Peter is a underground revolutionary, (plus believing in the reality of his perspectives, cynicism, and truth), inspired me to check this out, thanks Art, Randy, and Mr. Loban, check ya later, B

What is the crossroads at which you find yourself?

Your current answer to the selected question (you may update this and other profile items any time):

no longer waiting on others to bless me with titles
confronting my ego and reality daily
being what I love, allowing my personalty and soul to meet
being decisive
refining a focused vision
smiling for smiles sake
listening or interrupting, breaking away from the 17 sec.s most people interrupt
wondering if I am an educated consumer
does the power of thinking truly work?
am I in fact thinking about the right questions, and engaging with the world around me in the best manner?
will I remember things, or will things remember me?
is fear a tool I utilize, or something I let steer?
am I amplifying the right voices?
does any of this bull shit really matter?
am I typing too much, or getting too deep, ha, gotta roll...

Do you have a suggestion for a great question of your own?

Are we as good as we help others become?

Anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

rock on, look forward to meeting you geniuses, having conversation, 'meeting of the minds', inspiring each other and our communities, figuring out life a bit more or it figuring out us, and not robotically going around this planet, but revitalizing each step you take with counterculture perpendicularism of parallel strength

LAST QUESTION -- First, a closing note: Thank you for your interest in A SMALL GROUP. Membership is free and open. We do, however, review each new member to be sure that the site is not being abused by spam posters. The more complete your profile, the easier it will be to verify. Your membership will be activated as soon as a moderator can review it. THANKS AGAIN! ------ On to the final item: WHAT IS YOUR WEBSITE ADDRESS?

Innovating Innovation

"Innovation Smenovation..." Insights on how to be a catalyst for true change.

The ultimate buzzword in business today. Who's implementing it, and who's utilizing it merely as a resource for slogan'ish (esk) corporate propaganda? It's about creating a culture to revitalize and build upon what works, and strategically assess/implement changes in your teams/organization for the better. Refreshingly inspiring, a face lift of sorts. Stop sinking in mud and exhausting yourself in quick sand, and fin… Continue
