What strategies can help you discuss philosophical ideas with others?
One approach I take is to listen more than I talk. Another approach is to use a personal example of a plan or idea you are currently working on as a pattern for discussing the new idea. A third approach is to keep the process as short, direct and as simple as possible.

Recent LinkedIn News Article
Be A Hero: Five Steps to Vanquish Any Problem
If you don´t see yourself as part of the problem, you cannot be part of the solution.
1. No problem -- Take the challenge
2. Drop “Who's responsible?” – Be response-able
3. Forget what you don´t want – Focus on what you want.
4. Take one eye off the ball – Go for the gold.
5. Failure is not an option – Succeed beyond success.

3. Forget what you don´t want – Focus on what you want.

5. Failure is not an option – Succeed beyond success.
Don't aim at success--the more you aim at it and make it (your final) target, the more you are going to miss it. For true success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself. Listen to what your conscience commands you to do and carry it out to the best of your knowledge." -- Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning.

Summary of "Three deadly career traps, and how to avoid them." by Bruce Kasanoff
LinkedIn Article by Bruce Kasanoff
Avoid ego-driven blind spots by obtaining objective feedback.
Understand and monitor your own weaknesses.
Set up systems that enable you to detect potential dangers along the paths you are pursuing in the following ways:
1. Encourage anonymous feedback.
2. Hold meetings to play devil's advocate with existing strategies.
3. Foster a culture of strategy improvement.
4. Engage objective independent observers to second guess you to keep your focus sharp.
Embrace change. Adapt…Avoid ego-driven blind spots by obtaining objective feedback.

3. Foster a culture of strategy improvement.
4. Engage objective independent observers to second guess you to keep your focus sharp.
Embrace change. Adapt to technology changes.
Do a deep dive into the details that underlie your business.
Don’t use power too personally for pleasure.
Instead use power for the benefit of others to:
1. Empower people to delight your customers.
2. Enrich your investors, by viewing their faith in you as a solemn responsibility.
3. Enhance your community, since your success is only sustainable if theirs is, too.
Keep things in perspective. Career traps are as common as career opportunities. Remain confident but humble, and don't step into an obvious trap.

Hybrid & Personal Cloud In Gartner Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2013
Gartner, Inc.
The top 10 strategic technology trends for 2013 include Hybrid & Personal Cloud:
"Personal Cloud
The personal cloud will gradually replace the PC as the location where individuals keep their personal content, access their services and personal preferences and center their digital lives. It will be the glue that connects the web of devices they choose to use during different aspects of their daily lives.

"Personal Cloud
The personal cloud will gradually replace the PC as the location where individuals keep their personal content, access their services and personal preferences and center their digital lives. It will be the glue that connects the web of devices they choose to use during different aspects of their daily lives. The personal cloud will entail the unique collection of services, Web destinations and connectivity that will become the home of their computing and communication activities. Users will see it as a portable, always-available place where they go for all their digital needs. In this world no one platform, form factor, technology or vendor will dominate and managed diversity and mobile device management will be an imperative. The personal cloud shifts the focus from the client device to cloud-based services delivered across devices."
"Hybrid IT and Cloud Computing
As staffs have been asked to do more with less, IT departments must play multiple roles in coordinating IT-related activities, and cloud computing is now pushing that change to another level. A recently conducted Gartner IT services survey revealed that the internal cloud services brokerage (CSB) role is emerging as IT organizations realize that they have a responsibility to help improve the provisioning and consumption of inherently distributed, heterogeneous and often complex cloud services for their internal users and external business partners. The internal CSB role represents a means for the IT organization to retain and build influence inside its organization and to become a value center in the face of challenging new requirements relative to increasing adoption of cloud as an approach to IT consumption." -

Working on e-book that contains spiritual information presented in a six lesson original series of senior lessons in early 2012. Title and summary will be updated after publication. Essentially it is about grace, the grace of God, which is the goodness and love of God for all people. God revealed this by sending Jesus Christ to pay the death penalty we deserve for our sins. we can receive our salvation by grace through faith. Once we receive it we feel compelled to share that grace with those we encounter and become servants to all we meet. Grace is verticle vetween God and us and it is also horozontal between you and me. Our gift of love (grace) from above comes from three things (1 Timothy 1:5) "love (grace) comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith."
