Thanks Jenny! My True Colors work is now leading me in other creative directions, such as writing. What I must have done by choosing a different path is open up new channels of energy and creativity that were lying in wait. And interestingly, I am finding ways to harmoniously align my high tech experience with my creative skills, and build a new career path that is exciting and satisfying. Isn’t that what “best of both worlds” truly means?

Enjoyed the info on your post. I too felt like a burnt out cog working for corporate america. I love showing people how to dislodge the source of their stress, promoting light movement and the joy of taking back their power.
THanks for telling the truth about working for corporate America. Will follow your posts.

Linda, your story is really inspiring, and you were fortunate to have the opportunity to take time out and discover that creativity and colour inspire, and heal us from stress. Sadly many folk reach the point of burnout, or stress-related illness. In my stress management training and coaching colour and creativity are key elements in the tools and skills that people learn to combat stress and unwind. So it is great to hear about your experience and how you are helping others, and wish that I lived nearer so I could come and meet you in person.

Hi Lynn,

Thank you for your insightful comments on my post – success does boil down to focusing on the task at hand. I appreciate both the encouraging words and the nudge to get out there and become visible. You are an example of how to go about consistently interacting, putting in the time and genuinely connecting with people through Twitter and social media – and comments like this one. You post a steady stream of fascinating articles and useful tips via @brainwavetweets (brainwave architect).

BTW – Have you ever thought of teaching other people your social media /social connecting “system”?

My best to you,

Louise

Thank you so much for you kind – and very high energy – words.

I would love to have been in that auditorium with you and Seth Godin! My introduction to Seth Godin’s work, by the way, came about when I wanted to name my business “Purple Cow”. I thought it was a wonderful and unique name … and I was crushed to discover that Seth beat me to it. Though it’s a wonderful book and high time I re-read his ideas on how to be REMARKABLE in business…

Hi Jane,

You and Linda are on the same wavelength!
I think many times when we are under stress or duress, we tend to get “stuck” looking at everything from our own perspective, and at that point it’s next to impossible to connect. In job interviews, for example. This is why I write about Open Focus, a practice that gets you unstuck and opens up your awareness so you’re relaxed and connecting with others. The mirror neurons have space to work their magic!

What Linda does is what should be common practice and mostly isn’t. There is a strong divide between you, me and we which results in slow starts and mis-reads all too often. I take a moment to ‘read’ the people involved and on the periphery of discussion or activity. To get the best results for ‘we’ leads onto better results in future discussions, call it paying it forward.

What a terrific post, Louise, full of insight and passion. Seth would be pleased.

When Seth released Linchpin, he held an event in NYC that I attended. It was amazing with several hundred attendees at the Fashion Institute of Technology. He greeted everyone personally as they entered the auditorium and each person received a copy of the book.

It truly is mind-grabbing, affirming, and stoking! Your review carries the message, as linchpins are supposed to do. Great read, ~Dawn

Hi Louise,

Louise- bravo on the great article and video post. There is a lot of truth here. Seth gets down to basics- in a fast paced information overloaded world- he does what he has to do- which is to focus on the task at hand.

This is an example of how the truth is so simple- yet we tend to cover it up and make it complicated.

Having said that, I believe when internet commerce is involved, you have to spend time putting yourself out there. Yes- you need a great product or service, but without people finding out about you, how far can you really go? This is where organization and discipline come in.

All the best,

Lynn
